Her search crosses from the edge of Portland into a conflict involving the forest’s inhabitants.
Prue McKeel enters Wildwood with a specific person to find: her baby brother, carried away by crows. His abduction takes her beyond Portland, Oregon, into the Impassable Wilderness, where the rescue becomes entangled with the future of the forest itself. LAIKA’s official film synopsis and cast details.
Her classmate Curtis Mehlberg accompanies her. Peyton Elizabeth Lee voices Prue and Jacob Tremblay voices Curtis in LAIKA’s film. Their journey takes them among talking animals, bandits, and figures whose ambitions shape what happens inside the forest.
That setting changes the scale of Prue’s problem. Finding her brother remains the reason for going in, but the territory is already caught in a conflict that threatens its inhabitants. The official synopsis connects her family’s immediate danger with that wider struggle.
Wildwood places this enchanted territory just outside a recognizable city. The boundary is geographical as well as narrative: a rescue that starts near home leads Prue and Curtis into a place with its own communities, competing interests, and stakes. LAIKA’s official film synopsis and cast details.
