Seriously, their last movie that had any profit was Coraline if i'm not wrong. These films look extremely expensive to make and yet they are all box office failures, how do they keep going?
How is Laika still alive?

Is Missing Link and Box Trolls worth watching?
Lincoln Rogers
Black People
No
Nolan Reed
Paranorman was good. I can't say I've seen any of the others.
Jace Gray
The dude running it is the CEO of nike's kid.
Caleb Harris
This. The guy behind Laika is the son of one of the co-founders of Nike. It's a billionaire indulging their kid's desires, only instead of being a trampy 'socialite' they make expensive stop-motion feature films.
Justin Bennett
Well..... i guess that explains everything
Boxtrolls is alright, nothing special. i think it's better than Kubo, at least. Haven't seen Missing Link yet (looks gorgeous tho)
Brayden Lewis
You people act like all they make are movies. Don't they also do a bunch of commercials and outsource work?
Zachary Turner
Pretty based
Logan Green
At least we get mostly alright movies
John Mitchell
Coraline was obviously amazing, but ParaNorman is also up there. Kubo was kind of meh despite the amazing visuals, which was really disappointing and Box Trolls had some cool ideas and moments but overall wasn't too interesting. I did not see Missing Link because it looked fucking awful.
Sebastian Thompson
The Boxtrolls has to be the most unpleasant looking stop-motion film I ever seen.
Gavin Williams
Kubo>>Coraline>>>Paranorman>>>Missing Link>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Boxfaggots
Cooper Jackson
Missing link is cute.
Box Trolls is their worst movie by a long shot.
Nicholas Ramirez
Title character can be a little annoying, but Missing Link was a charming enough old-timey adventure movie.
Carter Perry
Literally billionaire’s hobby (son of Nike’s CEO is Laika’s founder). Both are based as fuck and money is not an issue.
One of the few cases where good won.
Evan Davis
Nightmare Before Christmas = Coraline > or = Paranorman (storywise) > Kubo (visually) >>>>>>>>Missing Link
Anthony Cook
>3 white, 1 asian and 1 black
At least they are diverse
Jace Lee
Which one's the black one? The box troll?
Jayden Peterson
Yeah, he always looked like a hapa black to me
Jacob Collins
I didn't realize there was so much hate for Kubo. I haven't watched it since I saw it in theaters, but I remember absolutely loving it. Why do people dislike it?
Tyler Sanchez
Who would pay to go see missing Link?
Its commercials were in theaters for more than a year, and they told the entire plot.
Austin Miller
Kubo was pretty good. Haven't seen Missing Link or Boxtrolls.
Carter Rivera
Plot is a mess
The ending nonsense
I see how it would make a better impression in theaters though
Nathan Hernandez
Why do they try so hard to distance themselves with the anime asthetic when they can get way more money that way?
Austin Perez
Doll technology is cheaper than CGI, OP.
Kevin Sanders
They end up pushing the boundaries of stop motion animation with pretty much every film they release. Box office success or not, I hope they're able to continue their work as long as possible. Certainly more interesting than another CGI featuring smirking assholes.
Juan Rivera
Source? If stop motion were cheaper I think we'd see much more of it.
David Robinson
Most people love it, even here. It’s just a few autists.
Parker Roberts
>kids in the third world make sneakers so that kids in the first world can watch movies
Huh
