Wendell and Wild Reaction

 When I first started to watch the new movie Wendell and Wild. I thought the film was going to be different from most animations. I was correct about the film. The film covers more deep concepts for an average kids' movie. Henry Selick, the director of the film, has directed many other animated films such as Nightmare Before Christmas and Coraline. These two movies are my favorite personally to watch around Halloween and Christmas. The motive of the movie was very straightforward.

When watching the movie for the first time, I thought it was different from Selick's other films. For example, Selick's film had a deeper tone than what was on the screen. It was nice to see Jordan Peele and Keegan-Micheal Key come back and play characters in the film. I thought they did a wonderful job playing the tricky demons throughout the film. They were playing off of each other's emotions when making the film. You can tell their personalities were coming out through the film. It is hard to portray the right emotions of a character within an animated film. But director Selick is a pro of how to show emotions through animated characters. One thing that did catch me off-guard was how the characters had a line through their faces. I thought it made the characters look kind of weird. But I understand why they would do this because animation takes a large amount of time. Overall I thought the film was fantastic. Director Henry Selick does it again with his animated movies.
