Friday One Sheet: WILDWOOD

The official poster for Laika's upcoming animated feature, Wildwood is a beauty. Kind of a minimalist collage, with bird-induced verticality to it. Showcasing the lead characters, the inciting incident (stolen baby) and the background location (from Portland, Oregon to the eponymous fantasy kingdom) this key art is doing a lot of work with a fair bit of restraint. Alas, there is no credit block, but then again, given the slight gradient white/grey space, perhaps it is for the best here. The post has a misty-fogginess to its mood and style without laying it on too thick.

It is rumoured that Wildwood will be the longest runtime stop-motion feature ever made, and Laika is staying true to the non-A.I. tagline, "From the hands that made Coraline."

The poster was designed by L.A. based creative agency MOCEAN.
