Kubo and the Two Strings

LAIKA

The stop motion in this movie was made through multiple methods, but mainly 3D printing and wire models. One of the animators who worked on this movie was Rachelle Lambden. She lives in Canada and graduated from York University with a BFA in theater directing. She worked on other stop motion movies by LAIKA including Boxtrolls and ParaNorman. This movie is special because it uses the largest puppet ever used in a stop motion movie.

I'm drawn to this movie because I find the animation style of this movie to be very interesting. The stop motion aspect of it and the fact that the characters exist in real life gives extra details to the characters that would not exist if the movie was entirely computer generated.
