Why It Is All Downhill After Coraline

Had to Reupload this one cause of some sound issues! What're your thoughts on Laika?

[@superbros64deluxe]

I'm suprised you didn't have to reupload it with the outro removed considering you use a snippet of Who's there? by smash mouth

[@AtlasGeneticist]

I love their movies. Not fond of them saying they’re “growing up” making live action movies aswell and with how much post production cgi is being put into their movies, so much of link was made with cgi feels a bit sad knowing how their made by hand and minimal cgi usage in something like coraline and paranorman slowly faded away from the direction of the company

[@TheShoogyShoo]

I think Paranorman is actually severely underrated and super funny but I do agree that nothing else in Laika’s catalog stacks up to Coraline. It feels as though all their films have terrific ideas and characters at their centres but the execution and character development just leave too much to be desired.

[@TheShoogyShoo]

Bingo! I think wildwood is based off a novel so hopefully the character arch’s and everything are already planted for them like how coraline was. Guess we will see!

[@orangeslash1667]

@@TheShoogyShoo One reason Stop motion is a hard sell now a days is that 3d films are more animated thus more marketable. However 2000's CGI was hit and miss, making easier for Coraline to be visually impressive in 2009, even for fans of CGI films. Helping matters even further is that it's one of the darkest kid films ever made. Now that CG got better, it's harder for casual audiences to be impressed with Stop motion compared to back then.

personally, to me, I think it’s just because Coraline had so many theories, and such a deep lore behind the story that it created such a huge fanbase, but with the new films that Laika studio did, it just wasn’t the same.

[@TheShoogyShoo]

An amazing point, people eat up lore. I think the fnaf games are pretty boring, but the lore is crazy. I don’t even know if they intended for coraline to have the ability to have so many theories, but it sure is awesome

Personally, I think Laika has some insanely big shoes to fill if they were to try to surpass their success with Coraline/Paranoman. But honestly, I'm kind of 50/50 on if that'll happen. Personally, I don't think it matters just as long as their new films end up telling really interesting stories. Kubo is a great example. It might not have been their biggest success but it's still an insanely good movie regardless. But it would be nice if they could capture audience's attention again so they could be known for more than just two or three films. So, it would still be nice if they could have another largely successful film.

[@TheShoogyShoo]

Completely agree! I have such a big fear that they are gonna end up releasing their films to Netflix or whatever streaming service. I think they are hands down an amazing studio, but I do think that they are going to need to make some money soon to stay afloat

THIS!! Laika is one of my FAVORITE animation studios and I really do love all they put out there, even the projects that aren't their best. I love and agree with everything you had to say about them and the trajectory of their success. I hope this next film they put out can get them back in their groove. I really want to see this studio thrive the way it deserves to. Their creations and stop-motion animation style are so incredibly special and important to me, it'd be a shame to see them go downhill. Entirely unrelated, but I just found your channel through this video and I gotta say... I love your channel's vibe! The type of content you do, the art style/mascot, your editing, etc! Really cool!

[@gnarwhal7562]

I would love to see Laika adapt some of the Oz books, or more dark children's stories. Their animation style just suits those type of Burton-esque tales

[@TheShoogyShoo]

BINGO- yes they should. I wish that it didn’t have to be that way, but it’s like when an artist gets known for a genre then they decide to switch it up. It could work and other times it doesn’t. I think a stop motion Oz would be on the same level of GDT Pinocchio

[@AtlasGeneticist]

Fun fact henry selick was making a follow up from coraline and james and the giant peach with Shadow King, he was working with disney again but just as the film was starting production john carter bombed and john lasseter was butting heads with crew. Only 5 minutes have been put out and it’s glorious ❤ absolutely hope it gets picked up again down the line

[@TheShoogyShoo]

Heck to the yes! I have talked a little about it before in some old video, but I agree! It looks fantastic. I really like weird hand designs for some reason, so watching the leaked footage really peaked my interests. I think they truly missed out on a great film. Funny that Disney pulled the plug on the Shadow king and Dreamworks pulled the plug on that other Shadow movie

[@gerawallstar3487]

You know with the studios stupidly making Stop-motion and hand-drawn films less common by purposefully poisoning them at the box office really shows how little respect animation has as a medium. Something really needs to change with the western animation industry.

[@TheShoogyShoo]

For sure! I think a lot of people still see it as kid stuff when it really isn’t! I’m hoping that with movies like spiderverse, we start seeing studios looking for movies that look and feel different like Laika

[@realeala]

So basically, they should have Henry Selick as a producer or executive producer. Also, they should make a stop motion sci-fi movie

ParaNorman is truly my favourite movie of all time. I remember seeing it in theatres on my 12th birthday with my mom, my sis and some of my friends when it came out after my last visit to Chuck E Cheese's. Comparing to other Laika films i've seen (except The Boxtrolls, which I still yet to check it out), I like how they used amount of adult jokes in this film that we don't see in kids films nowadays. Seen it couple times, I can see why it's my all time favourite movie. And yeah, I heard Kubo is WAY better than Coraline (I have yet to rewatch it, i've seen it on TV years ago).

[@TheShoogyShoo]

Man I love reading stories like that. It seems like it was such an integral part of your life! That’s how I feel about my favorite movie too. Makes my memories a lot more vivid than my other memories. I definitely recommend rewatching kubo though! And without tv ads😂

Paranorman is better than Coraline IMO

[@TheShoogyShoo]

It’s so hard to choose, but there’s a big case for it. Coraline just has such a big place in my heart! But I can totally see the argument for paranorman!

MAD GOD!! MAD GOD!! MAD GOD!!

Settle down settle downnn *itatian guy*

[@bleachraid9737]

I really like coraline and paranorman

[@TheShoogyShoo]

And I really like your taste in movies!

[@alexandru5369]

Yeah Boxtrolls was definitely NOT the move. Talk about shooting 100% and then shooting at 50% out of nowhere . As great as Paranorman was I can see why it doesn't have the cultural significance of Coraline. It was almost a bit too mature too really be a kids film but yet not mature enough too be for adults. Also Coraline being based off a book means it already had a built in audience. Kubo was a bit too "artsy" i.e. tried too do too much, and Missing Link doesn't even know what it is

[@TheShoogyShoo]

Summed it up with a bow!

[@Mario-kl8yq]

We can all agree the box trolls are better than the minion's right.

[@TheShoogyShoo]

Oooh, I kinda think the minions are pretty funny. Movies aren’t great, but they make me laugh lol. I’m ready to be set on fire

[@riley-dv8eu]

Have you read the Edward scissorhands movie comic book sequel

[@TheShoogyShoo]

OOOOo I have not! Would you recommend? Have you ever seen the nightmare before christmas video game? Its a sequel to the movie, even though it looks kinda bad...

[@riley-dv8eu]

@@TheShoogyShoo i have I would certainly recommend the comic too, since it serves as a perfect continuation to the 90s movie

I thought Wendell and Wind was made by Laika

[@TheShoogyShoo]

Nope! Same director as coraline, but it was a Netflix and I think monkey paw production

[@biguy617]

Kubo and Coraline were the two best movies from Lakia. I will agree the others aren’t as good as those two. The Bigfoot one was the weakest. I am hoping the next Lakia movie will be better.

[@TheShoogyShoo]

Yep, seems like they learned from the boxtrolls with kubo and I get they didn't want to do such a mature story again but missing link was missing it

[@ShinGhidorah17]

I disagree with your thoughts on The Boxtrolls. I honestly think it’s a great movie.

[@TheShoogyShoo]

Aye I’m glad people like it, it may not be amazing to me but I can see its value!

[@tristancarter4324]

The issue is what Coraline appeals too yes, it's a kid movie but Coraline was way ahead of the scary kid craze. FNAF, POPPY etc shows kids want dark tales told right with each movie they stray away from this or the subject matter while endearing doesn't gain much from being in stopmotion. How many people that watch Coraline makes dolls themselves many right cause us doll makers would be interested selling a movie around dolls and buttons even if we aren't kids. What about stopmotion or crafts do kubo gain nothing but visual and that's the issue stopmotion not best artform to even tell that story. Wendel and Wild to me is only one that captured that grit when in itself wasn't even close to best of lakia so cleary the grit is there but hard to harness. They should work on crafting a world that people want to see and narrative that will leave questions even after the movie. A tale centered on one person is great but when it wraps up so neatly u have closure and move on. Till this day even with a book of the book many do not know everything about the Coraline lore and that's why it works cause the world have us hooked.

[@TheShoogyShoo]

You bring up a lot of good points! People love the lore of stuff. I went down my rabbit hole of coraline theory videos. I really want them to learn from every film and craft their best!

[@Fire91ful]

Those budgets are way to high fir stop motion to turn profits

[@TheShoogyShoo]

Sad truth, but it does make it more amazing each time

[@gingaddict]

For one thing, they should NOT called something as boring as Wild Wood! I mean take a look at Disney's Strange World. That title alone made no one want go and see it as it does not say anything about the film you are going to see and nothing about it sucks you in.

[@TheShoogyShoo]

I don’t hate the name wildwood but I also don’t love it. I agree that titles need to draw you in since they don’t have big star faces like the rocks rampage movie. Paranormans title is clever, cool, and interesting. Once we finally get the movie I wonder if a better name will be super obvious

[@Hiesenbear]

There are e coralline js but their very rare and limited I think their sick

[@TheShoogyShoo]

I would go in debt for them. I would dunk on lebron with them. I would tap dance with them

[@jackgreenwood4286]

Laika doesn’t have a bad film IMO

[@TheShoogyShoo]

I don't think any of them are the worst thing to exists. Worst is that they are really forgettable, not offensive. Glad you liked them all!
