Editing was done by Robert Anich, while Peter Sorg served as cinematographer. In an Octointerview with The Hollywood Reporter, the film's producer, Gotham Group CEO Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, elaborated on the project by saying, "we're mid-production in Portland, Oregon, where the crew has suffered through fires, most recently, COVID and a lot of political and social unrest.

On June 15, 2020, production was being done remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic, with lead writer and voice actor Peele explaining he, "had an absolute blast working with Henry Selick and the crew for Wendell & Wild. On June 4, 2020, Bruno Coulais was confirmed as the composer. Pablo Lobato served as lead designer on the stop-motion puppets. And then he uses that as inspiration to keep writing". We spent a good deal of time with an initial scene that Henry wrote discovering the characters and the framework of the scene. That usually ends up on the cutting room floor as you find the voices and you want a little refinement–some rhythm. In a July 2019 interview, Key described the voice acting process, where "Jordan and I came in and did a session against static at recording booths, sitting looking across at Jordan and it's lots of ideas flowing, cutting each other off to keep that organic feeling.
