On Tuesday, as part of day two of Geeked Week, the weeklong online celebration of all things genre at Netflix, Netflix shared a sneak peek of its stop motion animated adventure “Wendell & Wild.”
The latest film from director Henry Selick (“The Nightmare Before Christmas,” “Coraline”), the film was co-written by Selick and Jordan Peele. “Wendell & Wild” tells the tale of scheming demon brothers Wendell (Keegan-Michael Key) and Wild (Peele) – who enlist the aid of 13-year-old Kat Elliot (Lyric Ross) – a tough teen with a load of guilt – to summon them to the Land of the Living. But what Kat demands in return leads to a brilliantly bizarre and comedic adventure like no other. This animated fantasy defies the law of life and death, all told through the handmade artistry of stop motion.
“Wendell & Wild” will be released on Netflix this October and features the additional voice talents of Angela Bassett, Ving Rhames, and James Hong. Check out the Geeked Week sneak peek below:
