Damn. This has been at the Museum of the Moving Image in Queens since September!
“LAIKA: Life in Stop Motion invites visitors of all ages to appreciate the painstaking work of stop-motion animation, with eight animation stations equipped with 2-D LAIKA character figures and environments that visitors can use to experiment with and create their own short films, then share and post online. The exhibit also includes puppets, sets, and video clips from all five of the studio’s renowned films.”

Laika movies in a nutshell:
Coraline: The poster child, the one referenced most (for good reason), fighting for its life not to be attributed to Tim Burton
Paranorman: The one you don't expect to emotionally destroy you and yet it does, every aspect of every character is spot on, very realistic for a movie about ghosts
The Boxtrolls: The one that could have had more potential had the antagonist not been a villainized working class drag queen, strange mix of body horror and education about antisemitic conspiracies
Kubo and the Two Strings: Heartbreaking story, strong characters and plot, you'll feel changed after watching it, weirdest choice of voice actors though
Missing Link: FINALLY confirmation that Bigfoot is related to Yetis, we ALL KNEW IT, unique take on Shangri-La, actual breaking of gender roles and tropes in media

Every single time Laika productions makes a new movie they’re like “this time we really pushed the boundaries of what stop motion can be” and every single time they are absolutely correct

Rough Sketches of a Laika crossover AU me and my partner made!
I can’t draw Lionel right yet lmao
But anyway, it’s an AU where a Lionel investigates a haunted, dark and seemingly ENDLESS forest after Susan went missing one day. On this journey, he needs a group of children who were taken and cursed by the forest, unable to escape. So, now his mission is to find Susan, lift the curse of the forest and leave.
And on the way, he becomes a father figure to these children and by the end, they’re like his foster children.
