As part of the Licensing Expo in Las Vegas, legendary animation studio LAIKA is exhibiting the puppets used to make all their five iconic stop-motion films: Coraline, The Boxtrolls, ParaNorman, Missing Link, and Kubo and the Two Strings. Our own Steven Weintraub is in the field and has some images from LAIKA’s exhibition to share.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Thanks to LAIKA’s commitment to stop-motion art, the studio remains one of the most relevant voices in international cinema. All five films LAIKA developed so far have been nominated for the Academy Award for Outstanding Animated Feature, with Kubo and the Two Strings winning the BAFTA Award for Best Animated Film and Missing Link taking the Golden Globe for Best Animated Film.
Besides featuring the stars of the previous LAIKA films, the Licensing Expo exhibition also has the poster for the studio's next movie, Wildwood. Directed by Travis Knight, president and CEO of Laika Studios, Wildwood adapts the novel of the same name by The Decemberists’ lead singer and songwriter Colin Meloy. The story follows a young girl who adventures into the forest to rescue her young brother from a murder of crows, meeting talking animals and mystical creatures along the way.
There’s still no release window for Wildwood. Check out below the images from LAIKA’s exhibition at the Licensing Expo.
