LIVING THINGS

“Our process is very unusual. We fuse art, crafts, science and technology and forward-thinking innovation. That was true from the start when we began Laika 10 years ago. On Kubo, we wanted to capture the most beautiful and nuanced human performances that you’ve ever seen in stop-motion. I’m incredibly proud of how it came together; these characters really pop off the screen, you buy that they’re living, breathing creatures, even though they’re a puppet made of steel and silicone! That’s one of the most magical things for me as a fan of animation.”
