FlixChatter Review: WILDWOOD (2026)—LAIKA’s handcrafted masterpiece sets the new gold standard for stop-motion animation

I’ve been a fan of Laika Studios’ stop-motion animated films since I saw Kubo and the Two Strings ten years ago. Travis Knight, the lead animator and CEO of Laika, has really pushed the envelope of what is possible in animation. My husband and I actually rewatched it within a week after watching it on a press screener. The visuals are so spectacular we wanted to experience it on the big screen with Dolby Atmos. I’m glad we did! My jaw was on the floor the entire time, and I constantly went, ‘How did they do THAT?!’

This Oregon Bookstore Fills An Entire City Block With Rooms Of New And Used Books And Is A Cozy Pick For 2027

Most bookstores get by with a few aisles. This Oregon one needs nine color-coded rooms and more than 3,500 subsections, so grabbing a map isn’t optional. It takes up an entire city block. The collection tops one million new, used, and rare books between the store and its online inventory, which is a lot of happily-ever-afters under one roof.

This Tiny Oregon Oddities Museum Is A Creature-Feature Playground For Families Who Love Weird

Shrunken heads, Bigfoot displays, and a gift shop selling 3D bat air fresheners all share one small building. Admission runs about ten bucks. That alone makes me grin. The place leans hard into retro creature-feature horror and sci-fi kitsch. Some exhibits are interactive, and there are costumes and props for goofy photos.

An Oregon Parking Lot Was Transformed Into a Forest-Inspired Library

At East County Library in Gresham, Oregon, timber columns rise through gaps in the acoustic ceiling, keeping the structure visually separate from the surfaces around it. Holst Architecture designed this detail to suggest tree trunks reaching toward a canopy. The forest reference is built into the architecture, rather than applied afterward as a decorative theme.

This Oregon Restaurant Puts Seasonal Pacific Northwest Ingredients at The Center of Every Plate

Ask what’s on tonight’s menu, and the honest answer depends entirely on what got harvested earlier that same day. Seasonal ingredients drive nearly every decision in this kitchen, dishes shifting constantly as farms nearby supply whatever’s actually ripe or ready rather than sticking to a fixed lineup. Plates stay simple too, technique doing the real work instead of unnecessary flourishes competing for attention.
