‘Key and Peele’ Reunite In First Trailer for Spooky Stop-Motion Flick ‘Wendell & Wild’

“Key and Peele” co-creators Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele reunite for leading voice roles in the new teaser for Netflix’s “Wendell & Wild.” The new stop-motion animated comedy horror film from Netflix is director Henry Selick’s first since 2009’s “Coraline.”

Based on Clay McLeod Chapman’s unpublished book of the same name, the film follows two demon brothers with scheming tendencies, Wendell and Wild, voiced by Key and Peele respectively, who enlist the help of a 13-year-old named Kat, voiced by Lyric Ross, to summon them back to the Land of the Living. Selick and Peele co-wrote the adapted screenplay.

The animated film is set to world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 11. It will release theatrically on October 21 before hitting streaming through Netflix a week later on October 28.
