Cancelled movie from LAIKA;
"Goblins", based on the book of the same name by Philip Reeve.
LAIKA first announced the project in 2012. CEO Travis Knight described the book as “A fantasy with bite, it practically shimmers with verve, caustic humor, and piercing wit. Philip Reeve has pulled off a helluva feat, masterfully crafting a sly send-up of classic fantasy archetypes and adventures while lovingly honoring their underlying forms. Goblins is a thrilling, high energy swashbuckler teeming with wonderful surprises; at once hilarious and twisted, sincere and endearing. In the hands of LAIKA’s freakishly talented artists and guided by the ineffably gifted Mark Gustafson, it will make a strange, stirring, and altogether beautiful film.”
Absolutely nothing else was revealed about the film's production, and it's unknown why it was cancelled, although Mark Gustafson passed away in 2024.
