Henry Sellick Joins Hands With Kegan Key and Jordan Peele to Bring a New Animation About Underworld &#8211; &#8216;Wendell and Wild&#8217; on Netflix

In today’s day and age of CG animation, a stop animation feature film is
definitely hard to find. However, the master of stop animation, if we may say,
Henry Selick has taken on the arduous yet rewarding task of showing everyone the
magic of stop animation once again. He will do so through a story about two
devil brothers named Wendell and Wild. The notorious duo is using a just-in
juvenile teenager, Kate, to open up the gates to the Land of the Living. The
original story comes from Henry Sellick, who was inspired to write this story as
he watched his two sons play. The genius joked that they kind of remind him of
demons.



To freshen up your memory about the genius in question, Henry Sellick, the man
who has blessed us with iconic movies such as The Nightmare Before Christmas,
James and the Giant Peach, and Caroline. After more than a decade, he is back in
his cruel comedy style with Wendell and Wild. One more reason to put this movie
on a pedestal is the fact that it stars Jordan Peele and Kegan Michael Key from
the hilarious sketch comedy Key and Peele. Let us find out more about how
Wendell and Wild came to life.


HENRY, KEY, AND PEELE: THE GENIUS TRIO

Henry Sellick, the creator of the brilliant stop animation movie coming to
Netflix had the story down a long time ago. It is when he saw Key and Peele

at Comedy Central that he felt like he had to reach out. Contrary to what the
mass audience thinks, Sellick admits he is not that good with comedy.

By bringing Key and Peele in he wanted to add what he felt was lacking in the
project. The trio got to work on Wendell and Wild pretty quickly because Jordan
Peele was afraid his feature film Get Out would be a flop.

WHAT IS WENDELL AND WILD ABOUT?

Think Disneyland but for the punished. This is also true for the plot of the
movie. Demon brothers live in the underworld, a moderate kind of hell, known as
Scream Fair, where you will find petty thieves and lying lawyers.

The Demon Brothers made a proposition to their boss, a giant with a huge belly
called Belzer, to turn the Scream Fair into a Dream Fair. They get punished with
the task of working on the Hair Farm to implant hair on their balding boss,
Buffalo Belzer. The movie will be a great addition to Netflix

Meet Aliza Siddiqui, a Hollywood News reporter at Netflix Junkie. Her love affair with Hollywood began with Anne Hathaway and The Princess Diaries, but it was the thrilling climax of Don’t Look Up that cemented her infatuation with the industry and its filmmaking. Aliza's journey into entertainment reporting began with her time at Otakukart, where she wrote over a thousand articles. Her writing style is cheeky and engaging, as seen in her report "Somewhat Alarmed," where she narrates Jimmy Kimmel's hilarious story of how Jason Bateman tricked him into gecko-sitting. Aliza's ultimate dream is to study and critique films that capture her imagination and the attention of movie-goers worldwide. When she is not busy binge-watching Sacha Baron Cohen movies and The Office, she loves to curl up with a weathered copy of a Khaled Hosseini or Indu Sundaresan book.
