Wildwood

After her little brother is kidnapped by a flock of crows, 12-year-old Prue embarks on a perilous rescue mission into the "Impenetrable Wildwood"—an enchanted forest hidden on the outskirts of Portland, Oregon. Together with her clumsy classmate Curtis, she enters a world of talking animals, magic, and ancient powers. When the two become embroiled in a conflict that threatens the forest's balance, Prue discovers an inner strength she never knew she possessed. If she wants to save her brother and change the fate of Wildwood, she must risk everything.

The stop-motion experts at Laika ("Kubo and the Two Strings", "Coraline") have visually outdone themselves with their latest film "Wildwood" and are thus the current frontrunner for the Oscars in the "Best Animated Feature" category.
