Wendell & Wild

"The real draw of Wendell & Wild is the visual whimsy of Selick, and it’s on full display here from the first frames."

"Though the movie has a delightfully raucous rock ’n’ roll sensibility, the dialogue lacks the wit and punch to match."

"The movie is a giddy joy, hilariously gross, and earnestly heartfelt..."

"You should probably come back to this bag of dank goodies multiple times, rather than try to consume it all in one sitting."

"A pleasant, plotty resurrection with a superb soundtrack."

"The competing storylines and moods... add to the film’s growing identity crisis—or maybe it’s just that it all feels as if it’s been assembled from disparate parts."

"Wendell & Wild is a triumph — in terms of animation, of representation, and of being very, very fun to watch."

"It’s an entertaining, if a bit overstuffed, romp through hell and back, with memorable characters and amusing macabre hijinks."

"Diabolically entertaining."

"When it all comes together, Wendell & Wild ends up feeling liberating, both artistically and thematically, with top work from all involved."
