Wildwood

Movie 2026 132 min Animation, Adventure, Fantasy Last reviewed 23 Sep 2026
Official Rating M ClearAge 15+

Why our age differs

Official is M. We say 15+ because the fantasy violence is billed as strong with bloody images, and a baby is abducted on the quest. Suicide-related themes also push it past a light M

Our take

Two kids enter a hidden forest to rescue a stolen baby brother from crow forces and a mysterious woman. Official US guidance flags strong fantasy violence with bloody images, suicide-related themes, brief partial nudity, and language. Fine with a parent from 15. Younger kids who loved softer Laika titles may find this a step darker

Uplifting themes

Courage, teamwork, and questioning unfair power get a clear push Kids keep going for family even when the forest turns hostile

Story (may spoil tone)

Prue and her classmate Curtis are drawn into a magical forest filled with enchanted creatures, loyal allies, and formidable adversaries as they embark on a desperate quest to rescue Prue’s abducted baby brother from a murder of crows led by a mysterious woman named Alexandra.
