I do love seeing these videos since it shows that this studio is still in full effect and that there are still a plethora of artists who love their craft deeply, and that there are places for them to go.

It's heartening to know there are still studios and artists out there passionate about a form of creative expression to dedicate themselves to not only preserve it but advance it as well so that it remains vital and not lost to obsolescence .

I think the hair is one of the most amazing things in these films, and it's essential to know those details that make all the difference, giving us an idea as an audience that we didn't even know about the existence of all This specific job 😍

Bless LAIKA for making a youtube channel and showing behind the scenes content for our beloved childhood movies

[@mikkaribbe6200]

All of this is so cool!! Your bibles are like magic books, and you are the wizards that wrote them. All this technic, work and creativity is amazing! I love this kind of craft. You have to come up with the Idea, test it, build it, run into problems, then come up with new ideas to fix that problems and then try to build it again, with so much detail. I admire you guys. You put so much effort, love and time in all this little things and bring them to life. I want to learn more about all of this. It's so interesting. How different materials behave and all this little design storys. Thank you, for all this. You guys are incredible.

[@paradoxical998]

I absolutely adore getting a peek behind the scenes. Especially when it's for one of my favorite movies. Laika is probably one of my favorite movie studios based mostly on the fact that stop motion is my favorite form of animation.

[@StopMotionbyNicholas]

Incredible work! Hair and fur is always so impressive in LAIKA's Films!

[@dubmegavin8719]

This brings so much joy! Can’t wait to see your next project!

You know that post credit scene from Box Trolls? Y’all should make a PG rated horror film where the monsters are sped up shots of the animators hands layered over the puppet frames. Imagine trying to run from an entity that is always touching you.
