As a Claymation fan, I'm proud to say that I'll support indie and Aardman, but I will NEVER support Laika.
Friendly reminder that the studio got started by Phil Knight buying Will Vinton Studios out to kick out Will so that Phill's failed rapper son could own an animation studio, hence Laika. Please watch Claydream if you haven't, it's a very important animation documentary and very heartbreaking! Another reminder, Laika's anti-union and plenty of employees have written about their bad experiences on Glassdoor. No amount of beautiful animation can make up for Laika being toxic and corporate. Please, please, please DO NOT go to watch Wildwood when it goes out, Laika doesn't deserve the money!
While most of Laika's characters have been ruined for me after I found out how bad the company actually is, I still have a soft spot for Norman, even if I will never watch his movie again.
