Director: Vincent Paronnaud, Alexis Ducord
A ten-year-old's detour into a forest becomes a full-blown expedition in Into the Wonderwoods, a 2024 French animated adventure from directors Vincent Paronnaud and Alexis Ducord.
What is Into the Wonderwoods about?
Angelo has spent his whole childhood dreaming of life as an explorer and zoologist, sketching creatures he has only read about in library books. On a family drive to visit his grandmother, a rest-stop stop goes wrong: his parents leave without him, and rather than wait by the road, Angelo pushes into the tree line to find a shortcut home. The forest he enters is nothing like the illustrated pages in his notebooks. Paths fold back on themselves, ordinary animals behave with startling intelligence, and the boy is forced to trade the safety of guesswork for real observation if he wants to survive the night, let alone reach his family. What starts as a detour becomes the kind of hands-on field trip no zoology textbook could offer.
Cast & crew
The voice cast is led by Yolande Moreau, Philippe Katerine, and José Garcia, with Dario Hardouin Spurio voicing young Angelo alongside Prune Bozo, Raphaël Lamarque, Marie Nonnenmacher, and Benjamin Carlier rounding out the forest's cast of characters.
Context & significance
Produced in France and Luxembourg, Into the Wonderwoods pairs traditional storybook framing with a wilder, hand-drawn visual style, and carries an IMDb rating of 6.0 from audiences who responded to its mix of gentle humor and genuine peril for its young hero.
