JUST DANCE 2026 is here!
THIS YEAR, WE'RE DANCING WITH MONSTERS AND WE LOVE IT!
@justdancegame commissioned us to create an entire stop-motion video. The chosen song this time is "Born to Be Alive," and our coach is the dark yet sweet daughter of Victor Frankenstein. Her companion is a special teddy bear, stitched together from parts of other teddies. Together, they visit the homes of monsters, handing out candy and making their Halloween night a joyful one!
We designed and built the characters and many different sets. It was an incredibly challenging project, but in the end, we made it happen!
Once again, we used rotoscope animation, tracing each frame based on the flawless reference choreography by Ubisoft's talented Estelle.
The final result is a beautiful and monstrous video, nearly three minutes of pure stop motion animation.

After more than a year of traveling around the world through Film Festivals, we’d like to open a small window into how the short film #playinggod was made. 7 years in the making for 9 minutes of #stopmotion animation, one of the biggest and most meaningful challenges in the history of our independent animation studio.
With this project, we wanted to push beyond our limits, experimenting with the stop-motion medium without compromises, blending art, technique, and passion into a single vision. In this #backstage , we’ll reveal our secrets and how we built this film and the challenges we faced to bring it to life.

❤️A heartfelt THANK YOU to all the incredible Artists and fellow dreamers who worked on this project and don’t appear in this format.
Their dedication and talent were essential in bringing this film to life and one day, we’ll tell the full story :)

Go way deep inside the puppet-making and stop-motion wizardry of LAIKA's famous first film, where groundbreaking 3D printed facial replacement technology was first used on an animated feature film.

Dan Lanigan, the creator and host of Disney +'s 'Prop Culture,' has a new show, and in this episode, he and his team, including Martin Meunir, who won a Technical Academy Award for his work on 'Coraline,' discuss how the puppet was created (through sculpture and meticulous construction), as well as how the film’s technical advancements off-camera changed the game in stop-motion filmmaking.

Ever wondered how the stop-motion characters you love, like Norman from ParaNorman are animated? I and the people at Laika will show you how they are animated. They've worked on movies like ParaNorman, Coraline, Missing Link, and more. Well break everything down to the ball and socket joints and build our way into an animated character like Mr. Link.
