What BBN said about it

1. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorLaika's new film Wildwood took sixteen years to make, with animators filming little more than seconds of footage each week.

2. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorIt runs a hundred thirty-one minutes, which makes it the longest stop-motion film ever by runtime.

3. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSixteen years for a few seconds a week. Finally, a project that works at our pace of getting the building permit.

4. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorIt's Portland. The Portland Tribune says the Benson Bubblers and the Steel Bridge are in it.

5. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorFountains! Florida has fountains.

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI'd rate it four alligators for patience. Slate says all five earlier Laika films were nominated for the Oscar, and none has won.

7. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorFive nominations, no wins, years of waiting. That's exactly how Florida does it.
