Travis Knight, the director of Kubo and the Two Strings, brings the handcrafted epic fantasy Wildwood to the single screen: a secret, magical, dangerously alive world just beyond the doorstep, and Prue McKeel, a courageous girl on a desperate mission to rescue her baby brother from a forbidden forest of enchanted creatures, endearing allies, and formidable adversaries. The fate of a hidden world hangs on it. Rated PG-13, 2 hours 12 minutes, a six-day run for the whole family. The Sunday 12:45 is the family slot; the film’s craft rewards the biggest screen you can find, and this is the town’s.

A forbidden forest before dinner is a fine way to spend a November afternoon; the rest of the month’s adventures are on the Morro Bay events calendar.
