The Portland Art Museum and the Northwest Film Center celebrate Animating Life: The Art, Science, and Wonder of LAIKA, a fascinating look at the visionary artistry and technology of the globally renowned animation studio.

Throughout the month of October, The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures will celebrate LAIKA's films with a series called The Magical Films of LAIKA, presented as part of their Family Matinees series. This series marks the first studio partnership in which the Academy Museum will screen the studio’s entire filmography. 

Hidden Worlds: The Films of LAIKA is now open at Seattle’s Museum of Pop Culture, spanning more than 7,500 square feet of exhibition space with immersive displays, film artifacts, and interactives spotlighting Coraline, ParaNorman, The Boxtrolls, Kubo and the Two Strings, Missing Link, and Wildwood. Visitors will be immersed in the “hidden worlds” of LAIKA — both the magical settings the characters inhabit and the behind-the-scenes wonders of producing these modern classics.

Explore the 15th anniversary and stop-motion fantasia of LAIKA Studios with screenings of all five of its Oscar-nominated films, from Coraline to Missing Link, at OMSI’s Empirical Theater!

Come see LAIKA's lovable characters at Behind the Screen, a core exhibit at the Museum of the Moving Image. The exhibit immerses visitors in the history and technology of the production, promotion, and exhibition of the moving image from the late 19th-century to the present day. The animation stations in Behind the Screen will offer an engaging hands-on experience for visitors to create their own stop-motion animations with LAIKA’s characters. In addition to these interactive experiences, the exhibit also includes twelve puppets and two dioramas used during production of LAIKA’s five feature films.

When he accidentally summons an evil spirit, Kubo must recover his fallen samurai father’s mystical weaponry and discover his own magical powers. Watch Kubo and the Two Strings, presented for the first time in North America with a Japanese dub. Presented with English subtitles.
