>>78138065
This looks really good
Looks like it could be great. Though anything would be better than The Box Trolls.
>>78139614
I didn't think Box Trolls was bad, it was no Paranorman but it wasn't bad.
>>78139787
It was really bland and unpleasant to me. It lacked focus or any sort of compass.
>>78138065
I'm wasn't so sure about the last movie, but, I don't know.
This one seems to have a lot ofheart.
>>78139614
I'd rate it lower than Coraline and Paranorman, but Boxtrolls still got a few laughs from me.
And the animation on things like that mech at the end really deserve some credit. That must have been murder to do stop-motion wise.
Laika makes another excellently crafted and heartfelt bomb. It's nice to know such talented people can still have the ability to convince Hollywood types to waste their money rather than just souless weasels.

>It's nice to know such talented people can still have the ability to convince Hollywood types to waste their money rather than just souless weasels.
I think the owner of Laika is loaded (he's the son of the president of nike or something like that) so even if a film flops, he's still rich afterward.
>>78138065
Sucks that even though it's from the only competent animation studio today, it'll probably lose to one of the CGI furfag films.
>>78140542
You don't understand Laika. The owner is Phil Knight, owner of Nike. His son is the president and CEO of the company. Phil just throws money at whatever thing his son wants to do, he made a rap album in the 90s for example. Laika movies could make negative and still get made. they could give you $20 with each ticket and still get made.
>>78139787
It definitely wasn't bad but it was incredibly bland. The troll design was fairly uninspired, the story wasn't all that interesting, and it was an overall forgettable film. Paranorman might have been a bit bland with it's setting and general design occasionally but Aggie and the finale made up for it by quite a bit. Coraline was their only film so far that had a wholly unique aesthetic and Kubo looks like it will be along that same vein.
>>78140738
lol look who fancies himself an animator
>>78138065
Huh, look like it could be a fun little movi-
>George Takei
>>78139614
Fuck you Box Trolls was great.
>>78145780
seriously though people who shit on the box trolls, I kindof wonder if they're soulless fucking monsters who just watch movies to jerk off to, both literally and figuratively.
the boxtrolls was so damn good, so full of heart, everything LOOKED absolutely phenomenal and was just as great as Coraline and Paranorman. But hey, whatever I guess.
>>78138065
Some of it looks like Origami come to life.
>>78145911
>was just as great as Coraline
anon...
>>78145911
Box trolls was forgetable as fuck. Paranorman was far to slow in the first half though the end was great.
>>78138065
I'm hype
>>78147500
Honestly I kind of wish him being a Medium factored into more into the plot.
That totally got dropped once the real plot factoed in.
why are murika so obsess with japan
its disgusting please stop
I could not be more hype than I am right now
oh jesus christ.
>>78145692
Why isn't George Takei in more shit. He's really good with his voice.
>>78148031

Please, stop.
Looks great. Stop motion fight scenes? I'm in.

This looks so good. dat cast.

I was very disappointed in boxtrolls but this looks great, already digging the character designs and environments.
Wow this looks seriously amazing. Finally an animated movie to be excited about.
>>78138065
looks like it would be better on 2d, like everything laika does
>>78138065
huh. looks like they're blending CG and stop motion more on this one. if nothing else it's going to look amazing.
>>78140542
Laika's president has Nike bucks so they don't have to worry about money. Ever. They can make whatever the fuck they want without worrying about the financial success of their films. Ever wonder why after Paranorman got flak for having a gay character and then put gay characters in the very first trailer for their next movie? Because they can make whatever the fuck they want without worrying about the financial success of their films.

i liked boxtrolls better than paranorman

Boycott this shit already
>>78150610
Boycott it yourself landwhale
Can we say Coraline is the best Laika movie?
Or would most prefer Paranorman?
>>78139614
Box Trolls was Laika's best film. Coraline was mindblowing the first time but drags a little on subsequent watches and Paranorman was fun and easily forgotten.
Fucking great!
>>78150723
Paranorman > Coraline > Box Trolls
>>78150723
Paranorman loses points for having such ugly character designs
>>78150723
I'm torn between Coraline and Paranorman. Paranorman had some stuff wrong with it, but that ending sequence is fucking 100/10
>>78150723
I love both but the pacing issues with Paranorman make Coraline a clear winner for me
>>78150723
Coraline wins for better writing + succeeding at creeping me the FUCK out
>>78150737
>Box Trolls was Laika's best film.
Your opinion is shit
>>78145911
I loved Boxtrolls. I loved its wry sense of humor. I loved how the story was told through acting and visuals instead of exposition and dialogue.And I still jerked off to it too.
>looks like it would be better on 2d, like everything laika does
>>78139787
Paranorman was also bad Laika best work will always be Caroline
Unless tbis one ups it
>>78152823
This
This one stop motion too?
My god, fast paced action stop motion
These fucking sadist artist just keep finding ways to make things crazier and more complicated for themselves.
Shits gonna be so cash, and then shit will not even get a proper glance from the Oscars.
>>78154440
>Paranorman was also bad
No
Paranorman and Coraline are the closest thing /co/ has to Madoka
>>78155204
I thought that was Steven Universe.
>>78138065
making asian characters that look like actual asians instead of squinty eyed yellow people or white guys with katanas
BASED
>>78139614
It was cute.
Obviously more for the younger-younger audience but harmlessly sweet.

The world needs rich people that do good shit. If half those oil shieks put their money into helping people we'd have world peace by now.
>>78138065
Is laika saving animation?
>>78150723
Personal preference. Both are great, but I liked ParaNorman more.
>>78156074
They're doing a good thing, but if it doesn't appeal to the mass public, then there won't really be any changes.
>>78138065
I really, really hope this doesn't pull a 9 and that it succeeds/is critically successful. It could open new doors for action focused theatrical animated films.
>>78138065
Looks pretty cool, and I've really liked the Laika stuff I've seen so far.
>>78150723
They're both fantastic movies, but Coraline managed to hit it out of the park with nearly every facet. The music was great, the designs were pretty unique, and it managed to be creepy as hell when it wanted to. Paranorman was good but it had a few issues that made it not as good as Coraline even if it did do a few things better.
>>78138065
Not familiar w this. Details please?
>>78160414
It's a movie that's coming out next year. The trailer is right in the OP. If you read the thread a little you'll see it's from a studio called Laika, which also made Coraline, Paranorman, and The Box Trolls. I'm not sure if many details about the plot have been released. What more would you like to know?
>>78150723
Coraline is clearly the best
>>78155204
What
>>78140656
>>78140881
>>78150525
This is what I don't understand. Why can't some rich people with billions spend a little money on animated movies? I don't get it.
>>78162213
Rich people are fickle and usually cunts. Sometimes they're cool, but usually cunts.
>>78150723
I'm really torn. I'd argue that objectively Coraline's probably the better movie for its pacing, but not only do I find the "weak" parts of Paranorman to not really be all that weak, but the strong parts are really fucking strong.
>>78150723
Paranorman islike my all time favorite animated movies, what pacing issues are everyone talking about?
>>78150525
I believe Laika's president is Phil Knight's son. If i could invest in my son creating things he believed in I would do it too.

>This is what I don't understand. Why can't some rich people with billions spend a little money on animated movies? I don't get it.
Because they spend it on a bunch of other stuff.
Just like right now we're wasting money on shit when we could just give a couple dollars to Wikipedia or some other nonprofit and end their charity drive right now.
>>78165280
Wikipedia already got a million dollars last time. They don't need this much money.
Have Laika's films broken even? I know they have Nikebux but it would be nice if they were sustaining themselves.
>people hating on paranorman
It was better than Coraline. The character design was the best in any animated film and the way they used it as a story element was inspired.
>>78166733
All of Laika's movies probably have made money after merchandising and home video sales are taken into account. They are a small, privately-owned independent studio that is at least partially self-funded. This changes the math for them compared to other studios that need to please greedy shareholders and take out loans at big interest rates.
Laika is sustained by real passion. They don't need huge hits, just moderate and predictable performance at the box office.
>>78167929
Coraline was pretty flawless. Paranorman had flaws. Coraline is the better movie.
>>78169750
Never saw any flaws with either film.
>>78169786
Paranorman just wasn't as stellar a movie. It had lowpoints and a lot of it wasn't very memorable at all. Plus the plot was kind of eh with the exception of the twist.
>>78169998
Eh, I thought it was the better movie.
>>78169786
Not the anon you're talking to but I agree with them, something about Paranorman wasn't as great. The opening scenes (the making of the doll and Coraline exploring her house/outside) alone have better atmosphere then the entirety of Paranorman, imo. The non supernatural conflict in Paranorman is also more cliche than Coraline: Coraline is dealing with new, kind but eccentric neighbors, Wybie, and her busy parents, while Norman is just "oh he's different so every single kid at school bullies him for some reason."
>>78154440
>Paranorman was also bad
Your taste is so awful that I hope you die

>The non supernatural conflict in Paranorman is also more cliche than Coraline: Coraline is dealing with new, kind but eccentric neighbors, Wybie, and her busy parents, while Norman is just "oh he's different so every single kid at school bullies him for some reason."
I mean... it's not "oh he's so different" and "for some reason." It's established that Norman told people he talked to ghosts, and saw ghosts, to the point that everyone in the very small town knew about it. Couple that with probably more than a few public displays of this weirdness, and you have a recipe for being bullied. Especially in a small town.
>>78170141
I liked the atmosphere of Paranorman better, messed up suburbia is always interesting. The fear of the towns folk was also portrayed great.
>>78138065
>Puppet Master
puppet master
like, ww2 survivor whos wife is killed because of his anti hitler propaganda who takes the literal (or figurative) souls of his dead friends that were fightning the nazis, and put them into animated marionettes, for the purpose of killing as many nazis as they can, rather than do good. but also killed alot of other people not related to ww2, and had their own likes and personalities
and thats what this reminds you of?
>>78150723
I think Paranorman had a better structured climax that really built up to something with a great twist, but there's something about Coraline's overall style and atmosphere that really resonates with me.
Paranorman focused a bit more on laughs, while Coraline had a sense of wonder that gave way to the dark undertones and rising tension. Both great, but Coraline's hits a bit harder for me. I'd love to see Laika tackle horror themes again someday.
>>78171691
My point was that he suffers the common trope of being the "weird kid with no friends." It doesn't matter why, he is that character archetype, and we're supposed to feel bad for him because of it. I think Coraline is so much more interesting because she is flawed in a lot of ways: she's angry that her parents won't pay attention, she's bored, she treats Wybie like shit initially. Norman is the sympathetic kid who gets bullied by literally everyone thing again, though you're right of course there's a reason
>>78172152
Yeah. Coraline is such a good protagonist. She's so fleshed out and human. Norman is just a regular "misunderstood kid protagonist". Coraline has teeth.
>>78160387
I love Coraline's soundtrack. There's a great blend between the sense of calm and everything becoming increasingly ominous.

Damn. Looks fucking fantastic.
>>78172152
>>78172201
Could be an issue of having to take the time to develop a bigger cast.
