At the heart of Wildwood stands the Council Tree, an ancient living landmark at the center of the Wilderness.

In this exclusive behind-the-scenes featurette, LAIKA’s artists and craftspeople reveal how they transformed wood, wire, fabric, paint, and imagination into one of the film’s most iconic environments.

For more than a decade, LAIKA’s craftspeople have been shaping the world of Wildwood through meticulous craftsmanship, innovative animation, and boundless creativity. The Council Tree became more than a set. It became a living symbol of the Woods itself, a place where inhabitants gather, alliances are forged, and the fate of the forest begins to take shape.

This is where every root is shaped by hand.

Every branch crafted with care.

Every detail brings the Woods to life.

This is Where the Woods Awaken.

From director Travis Knight, Wildwood is based on the bestselling novel by Colin Meloy and illustrated by Carson Ellis.

In theatres everywhere October 23. Discover more about the story and sign up for updates at https://www.laika.com/our-films/wildwood.
