CORALINE

Tuesday, August 24 at 3:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. (local time)

From Henry Selick (The Nightmare Before Christmas, James and the Giant Peach) and based on the novella of the same name by author Neil Gaiman (Sandman), Coraline is a wondrous, thrilling, fun and suspenseful adventure. A young girl walks through a secret door in her new home and discovers an alternate version of her life. On the surface, this parallel reality is eerily similar to her real life – only much better. But when this wondrously off-kilter, fantastical adventure turns dangerous and her counterfeit parents try to keep her forever, Coraline must count on her resourcefulness, determination, and bravery to save her family and get back home.  The voice cast includes Dakota Fanning, Teri Hatcher, Ian McShane, Jennifer Saunders and Dawn French.  Produced by Henry Selick, Claire Jennings, Bill Mechanic and Mary Sandell.  Written for the screen and directed by Henry Selick. 

LAIKA LIVE! San Diego

LAIKA LIVE San Diego was held during SDCC and we were lucky to get into the Media Event on Preview Night during SDCC. The media event let us in to check out the exhibit inside and there was food and drinks offered to us as well. We got to check out the merchandise and of course a piece of the set of the new movie Missing Link which is scheduled to hit theaters in the Spring of 2019. We also got to meet Mr. Link himself waiting for us to get our pictures taken with him. The lines were long every day for this and it is well worth the wait if you love LAIKA and Stop Motion Animation. Check out our pictures below.

The LAIKA Experience at SDCC 2017

The LAIKA Experience was one of the things we really wanted to see. With everything at SDCC, this was a 3-Hour wait and we were there early too. At least it wasn't an 8+ hour wait. This was the last day of SDCC and was a must see before we left San Diego.

If you ever get the chance to see the LAIKA Experience in your city or state, we highly recommend it, especially if you've wondered how Stop-Motion Animation is made. The sets to make these animated movies are so detailed and intricate. Just jaw dropping!

Composed by Dario Marianelli, and featuring songs by Loch Lomond, the soundtrack perfectly captures the whimsical & frantic energy of the fictional world of Cheesebridge, where a human boy raised by trash-collecting trolls must stop a sinister exterminator from his selfish campaign to rid the town of the titular scavengers. The record will go on sale at a random time tomorrow, April 7th.
