Keegan-Michael Key, Jordan Peele and Henry Selick are a match made in heaven — or rather, hell. For the upcoming Netflix animated film Wendell & Wild, the comedy duo and the director of Coraline are teaming up on a devilishly clever new stop-motion dark comedy. 

Co-written by Peele, Wendell & Wild is the story of a pair of party animal demon brothers (Key and Peele) and their desperate attempts to make it back to the world of the living. Of course, to do so they’ll have to make it past brash young orphan Kat (Lyric Ross), her goth classmate Raul (Sam Zelaya) and a demon-slaying nun, Sister Helly (Angela Bassett). And that’s not even mentioning the brothers’ own enormous patriarch, Buffalo Belzer (Ving Rhames). 

Selick, a stop-motion auteur, is the man behind classics like The Nightmare Before Christmas and James and the Giant Peach. It’s been more than 10 years since Coraline, his most recent film, but it’s clear he hasn’t lost his step. Wendell and Wild are immediately unforgettable characters, all sharp edges and darting eyes. They even resemble Key and Peele, if tossed into a looking glass and emerged respectively pointier and rounder — and a lot more purple. 

Wendell & Wild is coming to Netflix this fall. While you wait, there’s a terrific lineup of stop-motion animation already streaming, from Oscar-nominated charmers like Robin Robin and A Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon to the eerie anthology film The House.
