I ended up seeing this Sunday afternoon. I had gone to it Saturday, only to find out that they had changed the time from 5:00pm to 4:40pm due to a broken projector. When it comes to story this Laika outing is probably the one with the least depth as far as characterization goes. It also relied a...

I don't doubt for a minute that it is stop-motion. They haven't made any other type of animated film since they started making films under that brand-name. It may have some elements of CG for all I know, but the characters and sets are all physical. It is just that they have gotten so good at...

There were a few reviews where the reviewer complained about it being "boring". Dig this quote from one woman's review: "I love animation, but I'm really turned off by stop motion animation (including cgi pretending to be stop motion style, like this one)." LOL. Laika animators have gotten...

I'll let you know. Just trying to decide whether to go to the early showing or the 5:00 pm showing.

I hope it lasts long enough at the theatre for me to see it. Generally, I have liked Laika's efforts; although, I was somewhat underwhelmed by "Boxtrolls". Visually, it was an amazing looking film, but I really couldn't connect with the story.

The thing with Laika is that they don't care about creating appealing looking "cute" characters that translate well into merchandise outside of their films (ie, toys). As an animation fan that makes me happy since it shows that Laika cares more about creating animated films that are about the...

Laika's films do not do well because the characters are not "cute" and the stories are not gag-filled family comedies with a lot of "feels" moments. I mean take "Paranorman" and "Kubo" for example. Paranorman dealt with a misunderstood and somewhat disliked kid, who had to deal with the...
