LAIKA: Frame x Frame

In the UK, there’s Aardman; across the Atlantic, it’s Portland animation house LAIKA that’s keeping the stop-motion flame alive with intricately gorgeous movies like ‘Coraline’, ‘ParaNorman’ and ‘Kubo and the Two Strings’. And this summer LAIKA is packing a few shipping crates and heading for BFI Southbank to offer a free journey into its worlds of wonder. Pop by the BFI to check out puppets, sets, costumes and a few familiar props – some never seen before. Combine it with a family trip to see ‘Coraline’, now back on the big screen for its 15th anniversary, or one of thee other gems at the BFI’s stop-motion season, Stop Motion: Celebrating Hand-Crafted Animation on the Big Screen.
