Laika Laika will submit “The Better Part of Bravery” from the animated feature “Wildwood” for consideration in the original song category at the Academy Awards, Variety has learned. The song is performed by The Decemberists and plays at the end of the film.
“Wildwood” follows teenager Prue McKeel (Peyton Elizabeth Lee) on a desperate mission to rescue her brother after he is abducted by a murder of crows. Her rescue takes her into the Impassable Wilderness, an enchanted forest hidden just beyond Portland, Oregon. Joining Prue is her classmate Curtis Mehlberg (Jacob Tremblay), and the two enter a world of talking animals, bandits and powerful figures driven by grief and ambition. As the pair is drawn into a conflict threatening the balance of the forest itself, Prue must find a way to save her brother while confronting forces that could determine Wildwood’s future.
