     ​+checotey “Aardman’s 2012 stop-motion feature “The Pirates! Band of Misfits” incorporated 3D printing technology pioneered by Laika for smoother, more versatile face replacements.” Come one guy, you just hatin.

     Mary McFly : no no, there is no hate involved here. aardman was founded in the 70s or so, laika in 2004, or 05? so it is definitely more likely that laika copied more stuff from aardman. laika probably contributes to the industry as well, but aardman is the frontrunner here…and I am not british or so

     +checotey i agree with that, aardman are pioneers too, i am sure they learnt something from them, but its not like they are copying them, its more like learning the good techniques from the vets and sharing the progress, i dont think laika thinks aardman copies them just because they now incorporate that tech to their animation, because their styles are so different, its more loke a win win for everyone evolving the craft 😉 im not brit either but i love their accent lol.

     well, before Laika was “Laika”, it was Will Vinton Studios… Doing the same same kind of claymation that Ardman does. In those days the faces were all clay and the animator pushed and pulled the clay around to make facial expression on the fly. The use of 3D printing to create 3D printed faces was pioneered by Laika on their first film Coraline and expanded every movie since….example. In Coraline, limited faces were printed white and hand painted….

   Beautiful craftsmanship. I’m afraid this kind of labor of love doesn’t pay off in todays world, where movies and shows have become so much of an interchangable commodity.

   I saw the movie and I loved it, the humor, the gags and the fun story! The fact that it is mainly hand animated is the charm and beauty of this timeless art form. CG animation becomes obsolete after one year or less due to its reliant on software tech. which always changes every year making the previous outdated.

   First of all: Laika is way overdue for that best animated feature Oscar

   Second of all: Laika’s movies don’t get nearly the box office they deserve! What the hell is this projection that “Missing Link” will open with a meager 5 million?! This movie is pure art!

    When they first started laika was my favorite , because they pushed everything with stop motion. They used it to do just about everything. Now, they seen to be moving away from that, from the warmth that stop motion gives, and the realism, to a cold, and work out medium CG. Disappointed to see they’ve used so much CG.

    106000 unique print… hm… if you do the math: 106000/24/60=> 73,6 You can get a 73,6 minute long movie out of that, if each print used once. They could almost print each frame out, and photograph. But then whats the point? 🙂
    I know multiple characters in one shot are messing up calculation.

    All thanks to the inspiration of the work of the master of stop motion, Ray Harryhausen.
