“Wildwood”: Less wild, more wood

Studio Laika is a film studio I hold in high regard, and for good reason. There are very few film studios left that do stop-motion animation and even fewer that make big-time, big-budget movies in the medium. Of course, you have your Aardman Animations, Rankin/Bass Animated Entertainment and artists like Ray Harryhausen, who did films like “The 7th Voyage of Sinbad” or “Jason and the Argonauts.” Studio Laika, however, has been able to keep the style of animation alive and well throughout the 21st century. So when I went to see “Wildwood,” I was ready. I parked my butt in that theater seat, got the snacks, watched this movie and it just pissed me off! It ruined my whole week!
