Netflix unveil ‘Wendell & Wild’ voice cast
Netflix have today released a cast reveal video for their upcoming stop-motion feature Wendell & Wild.

From the delightfully wicked minds of Henry Selick and Jordan Peele, comes Wendell & Wild, an animated tale about scheming demon brothers Wendell (Keegan-Michael Key) and Wild (Peele) – who enlist the aid of 13-year-old Kat Elliot – a tough teen with a load of guilt – to summon them to the Land of the Living. But what Kat demands in return leads to a brilliantly bizarre and comedic adventure like no other, an animated fantasy that defies the law of life and death, all told through the handmade artistry of stop motion.
With music by Academy Award ®-nominee Bruno Coulais (Les Choristes), Wendell & Wild is produced by Henry Selick, Ellen Goldsmith-Vein for The Gotham Group, Jordan Peele and Win Rosenfeld for Monkeypaw, with Lindsay Williams and Eddie Gamarra for The Gotham Group, Kamil Oshundara and Ian Cooper for Monkeypaw exec producing. as well as
