Laika's 'Wildwood' Asks Audiences to Value Art Made by Hand

Variety has reviewed "Wildwood," the new feature from the animation studio Laika, and calls it the biggest project the studio has taken on so far. The review describes the film as a fairy tale on a large scale, with dense visual texture, and says it carries the viewer into its world. Early in the film, a short line of text crosses the screen telling the audience to appreciate handmade art while it still exists. According to the review, the line goes by quickly among many other images, and viewers who are watching closely are the ones likely to catch it.
