For nearly 20 years now, Laika have been hand-crafting stop-motion-animated movies. And now, they’re about to deliver their most ambitious film yet: Wildwood, sending youngster Prue into a dark and delightful fantastical realm, on an odyssey she won’t soon forget. To mark the upcoming release of Wildwood, Empire – in partnership with Laika – presents a 16-page bonus magazine delving deep into the world of the film, speaking to director Travis Knight and the production team as they reveal details of their latest epic. Inside, you’ll learn more about Prue, explore the halls of Pittock Mansion, meet some fantastic beasts, and venture to the dark side of Wildwood. This magazine is your ultimate guide to Laika’s biggest, boldest film yet – and you can find a copy bundled with Empire’s September 2026 issue, on sale Thursday July 30.
