10-year-old Angelo, an aspiring explorer, hits the road with his family to visit his beloved granny. When his distracted parents leave him behind at a rest stop, he is left to his own devices and decides to cut through the forest in search of his family. He then enters a mysterious world inhabited by strange and wonderful creatures, some friendlier than others… Cineuropa
Charming, Yet Familiar Toon Follows Young Angelo in a Fantastical Realm … a children’s film with plenty of whimsical characters housed in a technically eye-catching but not-so-original package. Carlos Aguilar – Variety
Buoyed by a hectic pace and carried by a rich inventiveness which joyfully recycles archetypes from fairy tales and modern concerns, Into the Wonderwoods (…) is a film packed full of humour, which manages to be accessible to younger audiences whilst also entertaining adults, and which tackles wholly serious subjects (ranging from death, the fact that not all stories end well and that we don’t always turn out to be who we’re supposed to be, to the fight for survival in the face of ultraliberal capitalism, robotisation and despotic designs) under the kindly cloak of some fast-paced action and “the call of the forest”. Fabien Lemercier – Cineuropa
