Carey Mulligan

Pizza movie.

Jacob Tremblay, Carey Mulligan, Mahershala Ali, Richard E.

Grant, Angela Bassett, Awkwafina, Amandla Stenberg.

Yeah, so Charlie Day, Blythe Danner, Jake Johnson.

But, like, it's funny because the movie opens up – with the witch or whatever the mother i'm forgetting her name um

governess yeah something yeah carrie mulligan by the way

yeah oh really yeah that's another thing

i'll talk about in a second

And, uh, in uh whatever in the wildwood um that's what it's called i'm forgetting the wildwood

yeah i don't know why okay sort of the title of the movie

well yeah but i don't know if that was like a different like i don't know if that's actually what it's called but yeah i think it is um she says something about like them being hippies or whatever and then it's like you know you meet her parents later or you get more backstory on them and they're talking about like burning man and like you know kind of pretty like stereotypical hippie like behaviors i guess or like events um but yeah um what was i oh i was gonna say the cast that carrie mulligan played the villain in this something i i realized i really enjoy or something that's just like a fun thing is going into an animated movie not knowing who the voice actors are and then sometimes trying to like find out along the way who they are but not knowing all of them and then at the end you watch the credits and you see who everyone is yeah and um Like, really good.

Jacob Tremblay was Curtis.

actively protects the perpetrators.

She tells Carrie Mulligan like what bright futures these boys have and couldn't.

couldn't derail them.

Yeah.

It's so real.

Way, way too close to life.

Carrie Mulligan, that being said, excellent, and was nominated for an Oscar, but...

Oh, God.

It's directed by Travis Knight, cinematography by Caleb Deschanel.

Featuring Peyton Elizabeth Lee as Prue, Jacob Tremblay as Curtis, Carrie Mulligan as Alexandra, the Dowager governess, and Awkwafina as Septima.

But that's the impassable wilderness.

You can't pass through.

Jacob Tremblay plays Curtis.

Carrie Mulligan.

carrie mulligan plays alexandra yeah and then you have jake johnston as prue's father or jake johnson as prue's father i really liked hearing him and you have uh peyton elizabeth lee plays prue and she's kind of a rising star like she was in two movies i saw at south by southwest one is called one is pizza movie which you've watched too it's on hulu and the other one is um

i think she's a disney

Oh, she might be in Disney.

There's just so many awesome dynamite sequences in this movie, and I was happy to see some familiar stuff.

you know influence wise you can definitely point to narnia james cameron's avatar there's some familiar reference points for sure but because the world is so gorgeously rendered it's hard to get too upset you know you're in such good hands when you see that first chase through the woods to escape the coyotes like the way the movie communicates the motion and the pace of people running was just really breathtaking we eventually take to the sky you know on the flight with the golden eagle and i thought that was incredible as well you get that big final battle which is massive and obviously does have some cgi in it as well the entering the mansion sequence and seeing all the different characters human and animal like interacting and seeing all the papers fly around like there's just some amazingly rendered sequences and yeah it's just a blast There's a lot of big actors in the voice cast, but I think Carey Mulligan as the main villain definitely has the most to offer.

I also want to shout out Jacob Tremblay, now a young adult, voicing Curtis, Prue's somewhat friend who gets absconded into the woods alongside her.

I loved Curtis as a supporting character.

Travis Knight directed it, and the voice cast is insane.

Peyton Elizabeth Lee is Prue, Carrie Mulligan is the Dowager governess.

But the reviews from the release have noted it has a very dark tone, and the movie actually opens with an ominous prologue that isn't quite the same as the book's opening.

If we connect this to the bigger picture, how Laika approached this really highlights the critical importance of form in storytelling.

And then when I heard Mahershala Ali's voice, I recognized I know that voice, but I couldn't come up with his name.

Carey Mulligan was Alexandra.

I didn't know that I knew that voice.

Jacob Tremblay, I know I've heard that name, but...
