The trail leads into an enchanted forest hidden just beyond her hometown, a place of bandits, talking animals and powerful figures driven by grief and ambition.

Reviews

‘Wildwood is the perfect handmade antidote to AI — a little (big) slice of cinema magic.’
★★★★★
Philip De Semlyen, Time Out

‘Taking inspiration from the masters of fantasy, the Laika team have crafted a breathtaking work here with human stakes and fantastical imagery that serves as a swift riposte to any narrow-minded folk who would dismiss animation as child’s play.’
★★★★★
Hannah Strong, Little White Lies

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
