LAIKA's next animated movie is a magical adventure called Wildwood. In this behind-the-scenes featurette, we get a closer look at some of the incredible birds of the Avian Principality.

Here's the official synopsis from LAIKA: 

Based on the novel by The Decemberists' Colin Meloy, Wildwood is a tale of love, loss, sacrifice, and secrets, and of the magic you can find on your doorstep, if you’re willing to look for it.

Beyond Portland’s city limits lies Wildwood. You’re not supposed to go there. You’re not even supposed to know it exists. But Prue McKeel is about to enter this enchanted wonderland. Her baby brother Mac has been taken by a murder of crows into the forest’s depths, and she – along with her hapless classmate Curtis – is going to get him back. Prue might think she’s too old for fairytales, but she’s just found herself at the center of one. One filled with strange talking animals, roguish bandits, and powerful figures with the darkest intentions.

The Avian Principality rises above the forest as a kingdom of wings and wind, where the rulers of the skies watch over the hidden world below.

Wildwood arrives in theaters on October 23, 2026.
