Visitors will be immersed in the magical settings and behind-the-scenes wonders of LAIKA’s past projects that included 2009’s Caroline, 2012’s ParaNorman, 2014’s The Boxtrolls, 2016’s Kubo and the Two Strings, 2019’s Missing Link, and its upcoming film Wildwood.

The exhibit is set to open at Seattle’s Museum of Pop Culture on March 18 that’ll include immersive displays, film artifacts, and interactive.

Here are some of the exhibition highlights:

*More than 7,500 square feet of exhibition space with a recreation of six LAIKA worlds, including specialty lighting, original exhibition films, and immersive scenic elements like a full-size version of the tunnel leading to the Other World in Caroline;

*Artifacts and sets from LAIKA films imbued with meaning by not only the stories they tell but through all the artists and craftspeople who have brought them into existence;

*MoPOP signature interactive elements allowing visitors to take a “puppets-eye-view” of a LAIKA set or create their own stop motion animation using themselves as the puppet;

*Content demonstrating LAIKA’s signature blend of traditional stop motion animation paired with their technological advances in digital effects and rapid-prototype 3D printing.

“LAIKA is a multifaceted community of dreamers, makers, storytellers, scientists, engineers, and artists all committed to making movies that matter,” said LAIKA’s chief marketing officer and SVP operations David Burke. “We believe that cinema is a profoundly important and fertile landscape in which we can tell stories that will speak to global audiences, both now and for generations to come. Film is a universally shared cultural language and it’s thrilling to be partnering with MoPOP, which celebrates the power of popular culture and the individuals who create that magic.”

MoPOP members will have the first opportunity to see the exhibit on Member Preview Day on Friday, March 17. Memberships are available at MoPOP.org/membership. A public opening party is held on Friday evening, March 17 and the full exhibit is opened to the public on Saturday, March 18. For tickets, visit MoPOP.org/LAIKA.
