Behind the Scenes of ParaNorman: Hand-Making Characters | LAIKA Studios

[@regret8677]

I love how they really seem to care for the puppets. At 4:30 it's like you're being shown pictures of somebody's child and it's amazing

[@LAIKAStudios]

We love your love! Thanks.

[@daniel021100]

Love love, better than just positivity

[@Mr_Murdersalot]

The puppets are so cute

[@yamidelacroix6729]

The affection they have when talking about the little world they created...it honestly sounds so parental. These are their children. When she's talking about Norman's bag it's like how a mum points out their child's fav things 'he's wearing his favourite jeans and his favourite hoodie' you can hear the restrained smile.

[@Carolina57685]

Each Behind the Scenes video makes me love LAIKA even more wow. The attention to detail and the way everyone talks about the making of the puppets (plus the way the Costume Design Supervisor talked about Norman and his clothes) shows how your characters and worlds are never flat and how much you love them. Its really inspiring tbh

[@LAIKAStudios]

Thank you! We are so grateful for your love and support.

[@DraconiaDrawing]

Laika is the best

@@LAIKAStudios you guys make horrible movies! And why can't you make it looks like a pixar movie?

[@katlegoassegaai4644]

@@LAIKAStudios so I'm giving a grade of paranorman a : C! it's not very good.

I can't get enough of your behind the scenes videos. Amazing

Thanks! We are so glad to hear this and hope you follow us to see more videos like this one.

Movie name

[@prestonroster6902]

Could you make a movie called the pumpkin man????????

[@thewoodyvarietychannel8575]

I've grown up watching coraline, paranorman, boxtrolls and kubo, but what's the next film going to be??! I really want to work at laika!!

[@AlexMint]

They do internships for juniors/seniors in animation school, though I have heard that they'll take sufficiently talented self-taught animators.

[@omagawdistillhaventfoundma6657]

I believe It's entitled Missing Link (?)

[@gachasoapy7447]

Ikr!!! It would be so cool creating these amazing movies they make!

[@anobody4765]

Yesss I WANT TO KNOW MORE!!!

[@war_hawk4590]

Their latest movie is Missing Link (2019)..

[@Scarshadow666]

I swear, Laika is such an underated studio! The effort and attention to detail with the puppets and models, including the handmade wardrobe and settings, is phenomenal! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@DraconiaDrawing]

Pheonixtail Dragonlore yes they are getting some more appreciation now but they are still underapreciated

[@keithmoon3190]

They are underrated since their artistry are mostly overshadowed by the fact their early movies terrified kids growing up in the 2010s. Coraline for example, it's their best known work since a lot of kids born in the between the mid and late 2000s were traumatized from watching the movie, same goes with Paranorman and Boxtrolls.

[@wespapes2054]

Growing up watching stop motion animation gave me a love for the craft. Seeing Kubo and the Two Strings in the cinema was a true experience seeing the craftmanship unfold on the big screen was magical. Thank you Laika for giving the world beautiful hand crafted animation (even if the world doesn't see them in the cinema).

[@ilikepuns3090]

the way the staff handles each puppet and talks about them...you can just sense the love in their voices

[@venus900]

I love how much they care for detail and it’s not just for money while making a movie, it’s pure art, and they made my childhood so much more interesting

[@beni5616]

You can feel the huge amount of love and passion and dedication that goes into these films. Laika's behind the scenes always blow my mind :')

[@princess7strawberry]

“ParaNorman” will always be in my list of Ultimate Favorite Films. Neil will always be in my list of Favorite Characters. I’ll fondly remember visiting the ParaNorman exhibit at the Cartoon Art Museum for my 25th birthday, and meeting Mark Shapiro at the Walt Disney Family Museum and allowing me to hold a Norman puppet. Seeing these behind the scenes always blow my mind. I’m torn between two part of myself, the one who would love to learn how remodel dolls and create stop-motion animation... and the other who would not have the patience to accomplish any of it. I guess the only way to find out is to try. Hopefully continuing watching these videos will be the encouragement I need to do it someday.

[@longbeachinthehouse]

I love Laika Studios. Everything they do so magical and ageless.

[@andreinaanez8541]

this movie is hella underrated. im never gonna stop saying that

[@ragewireloki6213]

This is my favourite laika film. I love stop motion and I started doing it in 4th grade. The problem was that I didn’t have a rig to keep the characters standing so they would always fall over. Thank you laika for reigniting my love for stop motion.

[@EGGWISHING]

really loved paranorman!! i want to work for laika at some point as a storyboard artist or character designer. even if i wouldn’t be handling the character puppets and wonderful landscapes themselves i’d be over the moon to be a part of the process, just because of how much love is poured into all of these movies!

[@Psychopatz]

A huge respect to you guys, much more respect than the Disney company

[@relluzchannel3665]

I am a big fan of stop motion animation, with today's technology i really adore this master piece ❤️

[@levi4065]

I love the way that their eyes brighten up when they introduce each characters with care and joy❤❤

[@stephaniezearing6054]

Years ago I saw the preview at the movie theater. I was terrified of it and for almost a year I didn't go to the movies. I do know but it really scared me. I feel much better now. I am older and I see that it is not so scary to me now. Thank you for showing me that. 💚

[@vivianalara]

This is pure magic and one of the reasons why I TOTALLY LOVE the stop motion pictures

[@darapolintan7621]

I love this movie, it is part of my childhood. The best.

[@tuscansun2320]

When I first watched it I actually didn’t know ParaNorman was stop motion

[@redacted8418]

Dersper funny man it’s just THAT smooth lol, they’re truly talented

[@alkebulanawah4242]

Super smooth

[@wafflesthearttoad6916]

Same but it was coraline for me. I thought it was 3D animation at first.

[@huntrrr__]

SAME

[@bearlyalive9669]

I always thought this was animated cause of how smooth it was, Apparently it was literally smooth

[@BabyJesus66]

The best movies ever made are done at Laika. Sell me some props!

[@fedorbrockmann1698]

I love these making of clips! The art of motion capture technique is just so cool

Laika NEVER gets any credit or rewards for these films. they TRULY are amazing at what they do.

[@timothyjones9430]

I am looking at videos like this to see how to go about doing a stop motion. But geezes, the detail and time of these professional productions is over whelming. Wow

[@longbeachinthehouse]

I aspire to one close day work for Laika Studios. Their characters and stories are so memorable and awaken so much joy and mystery to me

Although there is no place to learn stop motion animation in my small country, I am studying alone. So the behind the scenes video uploaded from Laica is very much appreciated for me. One day I want to work in Laica too.

I think that the little nightmares show should also be made by these people

[@smugfortune9977]

Laika studios is the best at making details into one character and I think it would translate very well into stop motion

[@mediatorraptor3349]

They are also really good that making horror film such Paranorman and Coraline.

[@jcage1022]

Favorite Laika movie. It's flawed, but its so damn charming! I love it even more than Coraline or Kubo. Also kinda holds a place in my heart as one of my favorite animation studio's first fully original movie.

[@floydlazer2614]

Absolutely fantastic!

[@dragonfire5308]

this is at the same time terrifying and really impressive. these people spend a week on one head of hair....

I am amazed everytime

[@augustsart5374]

The fact that Laika has ACTUAL physical limits for building their characters and yet they STILL work their asses off to create unique diverse characters is really great, as much as I love Disney they could really learn something from Laika that’s not to say Disney doesn’t make diverse characters but they’ve HAVE been reusing the same character model a lot lately. (Moana being the exception of course.)
