huehuehue so fahnny joek!

They've said they're working on a relatively realistic sci-fi movie, that will be interesting.
They've also discussed a traditionally animated film for a long time and it would be amazing for one to get a wide release again

>>94916391
>relatively realistic sci-fi movie
Any info on it other than this?

While I don't want to put Laika in a box, it is worth noting that they are know more widely than not for their special type of animation and the care they put into it.
They could differ from stop-motion, but I feel unless it's a damn good film, it'll put off a lot of people.
That being said, you are absolutely right about it being nice to have a 2D renaissance.

>>94916112
>>94916391
Will it be rated PG-13?

>>94916112

It depresses me that Laika has such an incredibly strong sense of artistic integrity and yet their movies almost always under perform. With the amount of love and craft they put into what they do they deserve to be pulling Pixar numbers but most times they're lucky if they break even.

Would anyone else accept Laika making a stopmotion The Goon film?

>>94916505
>almost always under perform
They don't spend hundreds of millions on marketing like Disney, and they don't have the same following. If they continue to make great works as they do, they should gain a stronger following.

As far as I understood, Laika films always do extremely well in home release relative to their cinematic release.

>>94916535

>Would anyone else accept a great studio making a movie based off a great property?

What possible reason could anyone have to say no to that?

>>94916535
Oh fuck The Goon's art is PERFECT for Laika-tier stopmotion. I want this so bad.

>>94916535
Fuck yeah, I would accept that. In fact, I'm not sure why they insist with the CGI movie, when stop motion seems the less costly option

>>94916535

I can already imagine THAT scene in stop motion. It'd be amazing.

They say Laika will be opening an online shop soon. I wonder if it'll just be stuff that's already available online.

>>94916649
>get to buyfag Laika shit
>wasn't poor enough already there's more shit to drain my income
FUCK

>>94916505
We should count our lucky stars Laika's owner is the 15th richest man alive, who is doing it just to enable his son's dream of making incredible animations for people around the world. Money literally doesn't fucking matter to these guys. It's all about the dream.

>>94916488
>it'll put off a lot of people

Like who? And why? I don't mean to dismiss your assertion, but I just don't see it. When I think of Laika fans, especially the ones that I know, I imagine they appreciate the stopmotion but would also be thrilled to see some traditional animation coming out. I don't think die hard stopmotion fans who aren't interested in 2d at all would be a very big niche. One of the few advantages I can see them losing is with the normies and children that mistake Laika's stuff for CG, but I don't think of them as being loyal to the particular studio.

>>94917074
>mistake Laika's stuff for CG
I hate to admit that some of Kubo's scenes were so fucking smooth that I mistook them for CGI. The moon beast flying in the sky, the fortress rising from the water and unfolding. It all looked amazing. Maybe I am getting old.

>>94916302
Rango is basically the closest thing to a Laika Western.

>>94916505
With the current shithole state of the movie industry, films are only "successful" if they make back 3x their budget. Kubo at least broke even right?

>>94916505
Thing is,Laikas owner is the son of a very rich person(i would say billionare but im no longer sure) so even if the movies flop,the artists get paid. So the studio will probably run forever.

>>94917304
At the box office it made $15m over budget. It'll do nicely in the home video market. Generally Laika just put all of the revenue towards their next film.

>>94916112
I feel like stop motion would really decribe GC's early art and atmosphere the best

>>94917387

A general rule is that a film needs to gross twice it's budget to break even. If it only made 15 million more than its budget it probably lost money.

>>94917440
Depends if the 60mil budget includes marketing or not, which is why the rule exists.

>>94917520

It also exists because studios don't get 100% of the gross. Theaters collect a percentage of ticket sales.

>>94916112
>Next film will explore Adulthood instead of Childhood

So is /co/ finally going to learn about Sex and Drinking?

Wonder if the next MC will be male or female.

so they aim to release a movie every year? i hope that doesn't lower the quality of their movies. I don't mind a movie every 2 years or something

>>94917838
No, the movie will explore the pitfalls of adult autism and escapism.

>>94918121
They'll hire more animators and expand their studio. They might create a new animation wing but for traditional animation. I get the feeling Travis Knight isn't a huge fan of CGI because it's too clinical. It cheapens the experience which is something he wants to avoid.

>film should be coming out in May
>no title
>no teaser poster
What the hell?

>>94918327
LAIKA used to have a CGI division that made commercials, it was closed down after Coraline came out

>>94918464
It's not too unusual for animation studios to keep films under wraps for as long as possible (at least since Antz) to avoid copycats
That being said it should still be revealed by Christmas

>>94918927
Precisely because Travis preferred traditional animation.

>>94916112
I'd like to see a PG-13 film, a hand-drawn animated film, or both at the same time.

>>94916281
You little shit

>>94916112
Give me a movie about giant monsters in stop motion.

>>94917836
Wanna see more puppets fucking?

>>94916505
Laika is basically paid for by Nike shoes and a rich dad who is just supporting his sons passion for animated film. As long as people keep buying Nike shoes, we'll at least keep getting Laika films.

I wish more rich people put their money into things like this, rather than just competing to have the biggest yacht or the most expensive car...

>>94920489
They do, but most of them use cape movies as their cock to wave.

>>94916391
Any "sci-fi" that isn't relatively realistic is fantasy.

>>94920647
Fantasy is just science that hasn't been discovered yet.

I'd like to see them doing something with sci-fi.
If only to see how they would handle zero gravity scenes and what cool designs for ships they can come up with.

>>94919997
A multitude of sizes depending on the scene for the monster. I grew up watching Harryhausen, and I wanna see more monsters in modern day stop motion.

They both worked on it without actually knowing the other one was, their lines weren't recorded at the same time so it's not like they would have bumped into each other at the recording studio.

I feel like they should be the modern Pixar. Maybe if their storytelling felt closer to the audiences they could achieve it. I'm not saying the plots in their movies are bad, but I feel they lack a way to connect with the audience (which is something that Pixar manages to do in most of their movies, even if they aren't that great.)

>>94933736

they dont have test screenings, executives or braintrust.

Laika makes movies for themselves.

Which industry are you referring to, if I may ask? It appears as though most mainstream theater releases and quite a few TV shows are 3d anymore.

Kinda wish they were handling Anya's Ghost.

I dunno, anything really. Laika is cool even though I am bad at going to see their movies.
