It’s been quite some time since Henry Selick directed a movie, with 2009’s “Coraline” his last effort, playing to his strengths as a helmer interested in darker tales of empowerment for older kids. His pictures tend to enjoy a more haunting worldview, searching for magic in the middle of trauma, and his return to the screen, “Wendell & Wild,” remains in line with his creative pursuits. The difference here is Selick’s primary collaborator, with Jordan Peele taking co-writing, co-producing, and co-starring credits, bringing his own appetites for strange situations and unreality to the mix. The feature provides a pleasant return to stop-motion animation and lively voice work, with “Wendell & Wild” enjoying moments of real creative inspiration, finding Selick and Peele trying to let their imagination run wild with this exploration of life, death, and guilt, resulting in an enjoyably weird endeavor, and one that tries to give viewers something a little different.
