Laika’s latest stop-motion animated feature, “Wildwood,” is the Oregon-based studio’s most ambitious film to date, featuring 231 puppets, 54 hero characters and 136 locations.

Written and direct by Travis Knight (“Kubo and the Two Strings”), the picture, opening Oct. 23, follows Prue, a 12-year-old girl who launches a desperate rescue mission to save her baby brother, Mac, after he’s abducted by a murder of crows. Her quest takes her into the Impassable Wilderness — an enchanted forest just outside Portland.
