Man, Kubo had a lot of great posters and they chose NONE of them to sell.

Laika crossover special when?

>>95363143
That's a pretty sweet figurine. Not going to pay $100 for it though. I wish they'd make something budget-tier.

Getting the artbook, it it's there next week.

>>95363143
The quality of their movies is directly proportional to the amount of ghosts

>>95363143
That's a boy?

>>95363143
Coraline model bois!!

>>95363178
Ha, gay!!!

>>95363800
At least I finally have a Kubo to hot glue.

>>95363143
Surprised that Kubo is the only figure they have to sell, apart from the Coraline doll. I would have really loved a Paranorman and Coraline figure.
Hopefully they branch out to more characters if this is successful .

>>95364365
It's Laika. It won't be financially successful.

>>95363887
Yes.

>>95363503
that's actually a pretty cool shirt

>>95364382
>implying that matters
It's a Nike subsidiary, it can bomb as hard as it can and it won't flinch.

I'm down to buy all their vinyls, but this has got me thinking; wasn't there a song from ParaNorman that can never be released? What was the deal with that?

>>95363178

IT'S 2017. IT'S OKAY TO BE GAY.

>>95364531
Is it okay for me to draw art of Eggs, Norman, and Kubo fucking eachother while Coraline watches?

YES ANYTHING AT THIS POINT WHY IS THERE SO LITTLE FUCKING PORN HE IS THE PERFECT COMBO OF ADORABLE AND PLUCKY. FUCKING TRAP FAGS WANTING VULNERABLE LITTLE GIRLS WITH DICKS

>>95364724

>>95364724
More like, why is there also no much porn of Norman?

I mean, outside of Parapines stuff

>>95364706

Give it time. They announced at SDCC that they are working on making more merch, including puppet replicas.

The only Laika thing I've seen is ParaNorman, but I absolutely love it.

Damn, almost all of the vinyl is sold out.

>>95363842
nah, coraline is better than kubo

>>95366700
How many ghosts did Kubo have?

>>95366700
>>95366748
Didn't Kubo only have two ghosts with the parents at the end? I don't think Grandpa in the dream counts.

Paranorman - Tons
Coraline - Three
Kubo - Two
Boxtrolls - None

actually rainbow colors represent diversity, not homosexuality.

it's just gays are more vocal.

>>95363178
I hate seeing this from companies and I love fucking men. It's just so lame when theyre doing it to make money and show how tolerant they are. Congrats you dont want to murder me, stone me or send me to hell... That's supposed to make me feel good? They're just good people who are misguided and want sheckles like everyone else so I can't be too mad but they're storytellers they can do better and more sincere things. Make a movie about being gay in the 20's or some shit idk.

>>95364365
The old Coraline in raincoat is getting a reissue next month but iits a retail release sold everywhere

>>95366808
There were all the ghosts of the village people's loved ones too.

>>95366815
I thought it represented a closet brony.

>>95364382
That's a problem with their movies because movies need wide appeal. A small but devoted fanbase isn't enough to make a film profitable.

That doesn't apply to the merch market. Japan's whole animation business model is built around selling figurines to a tiny handful of crazy people with loads of cash.

>>95368279
Nike money is backing them. They could probably go on forever just churning out Travis Knight's passion projects and racking up the accolades.

>>95363178
>Can't wear anything with rainbows anymore without everyone thinking it's about gays
FUCKING WHY

>>95368615
those shoes based on the movies sold out fast.

>>95368662
You could always try stealing something from the gays.

>>95363143
Neither Paranorman nor Kubo had functional humor. Whoever was writing those scripts is a completely unfunny person I wouldn't like to be trapped in a room with. Kubo's ending is complete garbage.

However, Coraline is so freaking good, I don't care for the book.

>>95363143
aww I wanted the entire Coraline set we never got.

>>95368687
Gays wear it better, not gonna lie

>>95368615
While financial failure isn't going to stop Laika I'm sure they'd like to at least be breaking even and not require constant checks from Travis's daddy to keep the lights on.
Besides, the argument wasn't that Laika NEEDS to make money from selling figures, but that they could. It's not as doomed to failure as their movies because figures are inherently niche.

>>95363143
Coraline display lacks something and i dont know what it is

>>95369167
It's the exact same as the SDCC release.

>Laika's next film was scheduled for release April 2018
>7 months away and still no teaser poster
Is the date going to get pushed back?

>>95369288
I hope they got different writers on that one.

>>95370407
why? what's wrong with current ones?

>>95363178
>terrible design choice for the mugs
>no puppet replicas
>no cool posters
>b-but we have a gay pride shirt!
I hate Laika now.

>>95372558
Puppet replicas are in development

>>95372421
Cute!

>>95363143
I know Kubo had a kinda crappy ending but it's still in my top 5 movies of all time. Bad endings don't ruin this type of journey movie for me.

Anyone else have tears in their eyes about half the time? Started for me when his mother hit her head on the rock and almost never stopped Not a gril, just have a craving to feel emotions in media cause in my own life I can't seem to

>>95364838
>not wanting /ss/ with aunts

>>95368615
Nike could back the loans, but even daddy has to cut the wallet at some point. Kubo broke even though, it's enough for them to make another movie. If they have a true flop, then you have to worry

>>95368720
>Neither Paranorman nor Kubo had functional humor
and that's what made it relatable. Lots of shows (especially now) have unfunny humor which only works in the reference frame of the characters, so you relate to the character in order to make it humorous.

Kubo couldn't go heavy on the humor; you can't have the kid protagonist yucking it up while he's still coming to terms with his mother's death.

Paranorman had a problem of making jokes during scenes that called for more gravitas, like when the town mob was about to descend on Norman but his parents were only mildly annoyed.

>>95374107

Well it's not hot if he doesn't have a penis, obviously.

Artist went professional.

Interned on the Loud House and has done some stuff for the Over the Garden Wall comics.

Any word on what their next movie is about?

>>95375640

Good for her, moving up in life!

Going to miss her art tho, it was pretty good.

>>95375685
Gay sex between an adult man and a young boy, obviously.

>>95371838
Kubo's ending was garbage.

>>95375685
Nope, no solid details on the premise other than there are no children in it. Comes out in less than a year too

Wasn't it more that the plot won't involve a kid as a main character? Still, I hope that the new story is darker and goes on grounds the older films couldn't do.

...I also hope we get a sequel to Paranorman one day.

>>95376808
>John Canemaker: You’ve said Kubo is a final culmination of the four features you’ve done that focus on childhood. Where are you and Laika going next?

>Travis Knight: Adulthood. This film is a good bye in a number of different ways. The themes that it deals with – loss and grief. But it also deals with healing, compassion, forgiveness and empathy. And so, it is, effectively, the end of this first cycle of films that we’ve done at the studio. The things we’ve got coming are completely different. Our next film does not feature a child protagonist. I don’t even know that there are any children in it at all. I wouldn’t say it’s adult-oriented. But it’s a different kind of a film for us. It’s still intended for families, but it’s a different kind of a story.

>John Canemaker: Is it a genre film, like film noir or science fiction, or a western?

>Travis Knight: It’s a blend of things we haven’t really tackled before. We’ll probably announce before the end of the year. It’s really interesting aesthetically, tonally. Completely different from what we’ve done before. The thing that excites me is that I know that the handful of films we’ve got coming down the road and they’re so totally different from what we’ve done. The film following the next one, it’s just so unusual, so interesting.

What.

Anyways, neat. I really don't think that I'll get or even want anything from there outside the artbook, maybe. After all, I just picked up the Laika Collection recently. Still, it would be nice to see Laika getting more funds for their movies.
