I was stoked for Henry Selick's latest film, Wendell & Wild, much like i am whenever a new film of his is announced. This here felt very Netflix in tone & production. The characters feel like the fans of Nightmare Before Christmas and Coraline that don't know Selick directed Nightmare. It is full of imagery and is quite beautiful but it ultimately feels like a film that is inspired by Selick than a pure Selick film. It picks up alot in the final act and truly becomes Selick unhinged, but the first hour needed more whimsy. It is a entertaining film but one that didn't speak the volumes it could have.
