Screen Rant visited the set of WendellAndWild, where Henry Selick shared his insights into the stop-motion process, his collaboration with Jordan Peele & Keegan-Michael Key, and his thoughts on sequels for TheNightmareBeforeChristmas & Coraline:
Wendell & Wild director Henry Selick shares details, insight, and more from the set visit for the new stop-motion animated film. Selick is the director of other stop-motion films like A Nightmare Before Christmas, James and the Giant Peach, and Coraline, and is heralded as a master of the craft. Wendell & Wild is his first new feature in 13 years and his first venture with a streaming debut on Netflix.
So, I reached out and they both got back and were interested in doing something. But Jordan wanted to actually meet face-to-face… He wanted to do more. He wanted to know about ideas. Wendell & Wild is the one that I was thinking. Cause when I saw them, it seemed like a Key & Peele skit almost. That they could be these siblings who are demons, but have very human weaknesses and desires.
It’s not all lubricated imagery, perfectly done, that’s just like every other Hollywood CG film. They are virtually, in my mind, all the same look. All the films from all the different studios. Some are better than others, story-wise, character design-wise and there’s some amazing films. But, they’ve really settled in for a look and characters that are almost interchangeable.
It was really hard to make Coraline, but [I] absolutely got onscreen the exact film I wanted to make. And it’s never about, “Oh, it’s all my ideas.” No. I get to choose, though, when you collaborate. Somebody has to say “That fits, that doesn’t.” Sometimes you know right away, sometimes it takes two weeks to realize, “Man, that was a great idea. It’s not too late is it?” No, it’s animation, we still have time. So, that was full creative support.

Understanding “New Power”Power clearly isn’t what it used to be. We see Goliaths being toppled by Davids all around us, from the networked drivers of Uber to the crowdfunded creatives of Kickstarter. But it’s difficult to understand what power actually is in this changed world, and how to gain more of it. Two fresh voices to HBR—Jeremy Heimans, cofounder of Purpose and Avaaz, and Henry Timms, director of the 92nd Street Y in New York—offer a framework for organizations seeking to effectively use the two distinct forces of “old power” and “new power.” Old power, the authors argue, works like a currency. It is held by few and is zero-sum. Once gained, it is jealously guarded, and the powerful have a substantial store of it to spend. It is closed, inaccessible, and leader-driven. New power operates differently, like a current. It is made by many. It is open, participatory, and peer-driven. Like water or electricity, it’s most forceful when it surges. The goal with new power is not to hoard it but to channel it. New power actors differ from old power players along two dimensions: the models they use to accumulate and exercise power and the values they embrace. Some enterprises, like Facebook, have new power models but don’t seem to embrace the values; others, like Patagonia, have new power values but wield their influence using traditional old power models. This big-picture piece examines the underlying dynamics at work and looks at how power is really shifting: who has it, how it is distributed, and where it is heading. HBR Reprint R1412B
