Oregon has played the star in dozens of movies for more than a century, and LAIKA’s Wildwood is the newest proof. The award-winning Oregon animation studio’s long-awaited film opened on 23 October 2026. It’s stop-motion, but the places behind it are real, as are the locations behind The Goonies (1985), Twilight (2008) and Free Willy (1993).
Culture Trip recently outlined how to visit them through the Oregon Film Trail, the first official state film trail in the US. OFT has 50 physical markers across the state and more than 600 digital scene locations in its partner app, SetJetters, and it links more than 100 years of Oregon film history.
