Laika is an American stop-motion animation studio specializing in feature films, commercial content for all media, music videos and short films. They haven’t made a huge number of films but I personally think that all of them are very well made, unique and aesthetically interesting. Here are films made by Laika since 2009:
I have seen Coraline and I really liked it! Obviously I’ve read the book too, Neil Gaiman is my favourite author. I feel like the film was really good! Different to the book but not too different and let’s face it the “other mother” is kinda scary, I wanted to research to see if she was a particular kind of demon and some stuff came up but not too much so I feel like that could be expanded upon. Lol sorry I went off on a tangent.
Very rad!
I do! I find it really interesting, obviously it takes a while to get stuff made but once it is made I love the way it looks!
Have you seen any of the films?
Yes! I’ve seen Coraline, ParaNorman and at some point The Boxtrolls (but I don’t remember it lol). I would like to see Kubo and the Two Strings!
What did you think about them?
They’re magical. Coraline terrified me when I was younger. The second mom was really scary hehe. All the characters were great in both worlds.
Do you like stop-motion?
Yeah! It’s pretty cool and different from all the 3D animated movies, or what they’re called.
She is terrifying!!!
Nah, that’s pretty cool. I want to know that too!
Yeah… I mean everything has to be created physically in miniature That must take some time. Super cool though!
Oh my gosh Laika is incredible! Coraline is easily one of the best adaptations ever made, capturing Gaiman’s style and charm so perfectly that I don’t even know which version I prefer. Paranorman and Kubo are also incredible I love those films!
Laika really needs more love, thank you for making this thread!
I’ve seen Caroline and Corpse bride but I’m going to be honest on this one, I personally didn’t like them. Yes, that style is amazing, stop-motion is amazing but it’s not appealing to me.
That must take some time. Super cool though!
