Laika has delivered multiple animated classics like Coraline, ParaNorman, and Kubo and the Two Strings. But with Wildwood, the studio delivered a revolutionary magnum opus that showcases the best of stop-motion storytelling. Directed by Travis Knight (Masters of the Universe), this movie follows teenager Prue (Peyton Elizabeth Lee) as she and her friend Curtis (Jacob Tremblay) venture into a magical forest to rescue her baby brother from a murder of crows sent by the evil sorceress Alexandra (Carey Mulligan).

2026 saw the release of multiple animated hits, including Hoppers, Toy Story 5, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender, GOAT, and Forgotten Island. However, with its mature story, realistic characters, and jaw-dropping animation, Wildwood has proven itself the top contender for Best Animated Feature at this year's Oscars.

China just gave Hollywood a cautionary tale about AI filmmaking. Sanxingdui: Future Past, billed as the country's first fully AI-generated movie, hit theaters on October 23 and bombed at the box office.

According to Futurism, the film's reported $1.5 million production budget landed on more than 10,000 screens. Yet it pulled in only about $181,000, averaging roughly $20 per screen, making the budget difficult to recover.
