Production

Development

On November 3, 2015, it was reported that Henry Selick was developing Wendell & Wild, a new stop-motion feature with Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele, based on an original story by Selick.[11] On March 14, 2018, the film was picked up by Netflix.[12] In a July 2019 interview, Key described the voice acting process, where "Jordan and I came in and did a session against static at recording booths, sitting looking across at Jordan and it's lots of ideas flowing, cutting each other off to keep that organic feeling. That usually ends up on the cutting room floor as you find the voices and you want a little refinement–some rhythm. We spent a good deal of time with an initial scene that Henry wrote discovering the characters and the framework of the scene. And then he uses that as inspiration to keep writing".[13] Pablo Lobato served as lead designer on the stop-motion puppets.[14] On June 4, 2020, Bruno Coulais was confirmed as the composer.[15][16] On March 14, 2022, the cast was revealed by Netflix on YouTube.[7]

Animation

On June 15, 2020, production was being done remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic, with lead writer and voice actor Peele explaining he, "had an absolute blast working with Henry Selick and the crew for Wendell & Wild. I cannot wait for you to discover this film".[17] In an October 8, 2020 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the film's producer, Gotham Group CEO Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, elaborated on the project by saying, "we're mid-production in Portland, Oregon, where the crew has suffered through fires, most recently, COVID and a lot of political and social unrest. It's been a very challenging movie."[18] Editing was done by Robert Anich, while Peter Sorg served as cinematographer.[19][20]^{[better source needed]} By February 2021, production on the film was ongoing in Portland.[21]

Release

Wendell & Wild is set to have its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 11, 2022[22] and is scheduled to be released in select theaters on October 21, 2022,[5] before its release on Netflix on October 28, 2022.[23] On November 6, 2018, Netflix announced the film was scheduled to be released in 2021.[24][25][26] On July 18, 2019, Key announced the film was planned to be released in late 2020.[14] On January 14, 2021, Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos revealed that the film's release would be moved to "2022 or later", to meet Netflix's criteria of releasing six animated features per year.[27] Simon & Schuster would adapt the screenplay to novel form, to tie into the film's release.[18]

It was rated PG-13 for "some thematic material, violence, substance use and brief strong language"; making it Selick's first PG-13 film since Monkeybone (2001).[28]
