From the delightfully wicked minds of Henry Selick and Jordan Peele comes Wendell & Wild, an animated tale about two scheming demon brothers Wendell and Wild who enlist the aid of 13-year-old to summon them to the Land of the Living. But what Kat, a tough teenager with a load of guilt, demands in return from Wendell and Wild leads to a brilliantly bizarre and comedic adventure like no other — an animated fantasy that defies the laws of life and death, all told through the handmade artistry of stop motion.
