Why Wendell & Wild scores this way
A troubled teen makes a deal with two scheming demon brothers in this stop-motion dark fantasy from Henry Selick. Visually inventive but genuinely macabre, with death, grief, demons, and frightening imagery; the horror tone and mature themes make it best for older tweens and teens, not young children.
