LAIKA’s Wildwood Defies Hollywood’s Content Factory Mentality

LAIKA’s Wildwood Defies Hollywood’s Content Factory Mentality

Too often, audiences are bombarded with films lacking heart, creativity, or effort, with the primary goal being to make as much money in as little time as possible.

It’s a lot of deep info.” This year’s programming schedule includes panels featuring productions at Disney Television Animation, ILM, Lucasfilm Animation, Pixar, 20th Television Animation and Walt Disney Imagineering, Netflix Animation, Laika, Sony Pictures Animation, Dreamworks, Skydance Animation, Warner Bros.
