Eric Bauza was a Fillipino-Canadian and passed away yesterday cause of hypertensive heart disease.
His final film was Forgotten Island
A film about his culture/heritage..
RIP legend

Just like the film, we'll cherish his memories so hes not forgotten

i had the opportunity to attend a panel he was in this past saturday at lightbox.

(1/2) I just know movieâs production is gonna be even more meaningful for the entire team considering thisâll be Ericâs very last project, especially under Looney Tunes. Itâs gonna hurt knowing Eric didnât get to fully see this movieâs production and releaseâŚ
Iâm justâŚshattered â¤ď¸âđŠš
Eric was a shining beacon of light for animation & VO everywhere. An icon of all things looney. His wide-spread career is the kind I hope to achieve someday.
Iâm just glad I got to thank him in person for all heâs done, even if it was just once. RIP

Western animation studios have lately become adamant that their movies should not be remotely challenging or emotionally complex because they want to be as "box office safe" as possible. It's destroying the industry and Laika seems to be one of the few voices willing to say no.
âBig City Greensâ storyboard artist Gabi Rodea encourages parents to have their children see âWildwoodâ for its mature storytelling.
âBig studios like Disney and Paramount want to sanitize stories, effectively training children not to think about sadness or fear. Wildwood is for kids to be inspired by how they feel when they see a great movie.â
Will Patterson retweeted
Travis Knightâs words harken back to Don Bluthâs philosophy.
âKids can handle scary and intense stories, so long as thereâs a happy ending.â
Travis Knight says WILDWOOD (2026), LAIKAâs first PG-13 film, refused to shy away from the brutal realities of violence, loss and grief. The director believes modern cinema often underestimates younger audiences, arguing that children deserve stories that take their emotions seriously rather than shielding them from every difficult subject.
âModern cinema generally tends to talk down to young audiences. But young people experience loss. They know what itâs like to feel afraid.â
Knight says the violence was never meant to be glorified, but to show its traumatic consequences. The goal was to tell an honest story that earns its moments of hope by confronting darkness rather than watering it down.

Every other animation studio in Hollywood cuts dark scenes to keep a PG rating and secure toy deals.
LAIKA took 7 years to handcraft puppets, got a PG-13 for tragic violence, and told the press that kids need to understand loss; all backed by Nike money
Travis Knight says that âWILDWOODâ had to be PG-13 due to the tragic acts of violence seen in the film.

"We want GOOD original movies"
Wildwood is one of the best animated films of the decade
"There wasn't any marketing"
Had more views than doomsday
just admit that you guys are filled with excuses and only want to be performative when it comes to supporting original films
Will Patterson retweeted
Travis Knight says there are multiple upcoming projects in development for LAIKA:
âWe have stories that take the medium of animation into places that it's never gone before, stories that challenge us in different ways. And I'm excited that we're playing around in some genres that we've never explored before.â
Will Patterson retweeted
yall donât actually want original movies if you wonât go see Wildwood.
> director is adamantly anti AI
> the entire film was handcrafted puppets and environments
> some of the best action of the year right up there with The Odyssey
> made me cry twice in the theater
Will Patterson retweeted
"Wildwood" took nearly 15 years to make, with 231 puppets and 136 sets, making it the longest stop motion film ever made.
Will Patterson retweeted
The illustrator of the original âWILDWOODâ book Carson Ellis has a cameo in the film.
âEnjoy handmade art⌠before itâs gone for good!â
