It was okay. Laika is best when they're doing darker stories. Coraline, Paranorman and Kubo are still their best

I can enjoy the talent behind stop motion animation but I doubt kids care anymore. As smooth as it is...its just a less dynamic version of a CGI cartoon (from a kids perspective)

R.I.P. Laika I guess. It's sorta sad.

They got Nike money.

The implication of the science dude caressing the apes' balls was odd

I don't think kids put that much thought into animation mediums user.

children don't have the vocabulary for it, but they notice and are probably thinking every bit as critically about the visual disparity between stop-motion and CGI if not more so.
kids learn visually so they are very sensitive and particular about these sorts of things. what they lack is the knowledge of or the empathy for all the talented artists and craftsmen breathing life into the inanimate behind the screen. they don't learn to appreciate such things until they're older-- if at all.

Wow how do you eat with taste that bad?

Yeah, even when I was real little I knew the difference between Pixar and Wallace and Gromit.

Laika needs to do a dark comedy. Maybe a parody of the Princess genre.

I'm not saying kids can't notice the difference between mediums. I'm disagreeing with the idea that they will be so preoccupied with it as to compare and contrast the animation quality. Even if a kid does develop a preference for a particular medium, I'd expect it to be more a matter of that child's taste. Speaking from my own childhood, the style, character designs, backgrounds, colors, etc, have always meant more to me than just the whether it was stop motion, cg, or even 2d. (Though if I ever did have a medium preference, it was definately 2d over anything else) Wallace and Gromit never offended me as a kid, yet The BJs was one of the ugliest things I'd ever seen on tv and I hated it back then just for that.
If kids are preferring cg to stop motion it probably has more to do with cg becoming more common. The idea of comparing the 2 mediums never really dawned on me as a kid and it seems especially odd to do that today when cg is much more comparable to live action.

They always do exceptional on streaming services. The landscape has changed enough that failing at the box office doesn't mean the movie has no other way to succeed. The movie theater seems to be almost exclusively for Disney and Disney-owned released anyway.

the comedy of the laika movies is the worst part and they make a typical family comedy

Now I want to watch, but mainly just to see what other adult jokes they got away with.

Did they find the yetis? Did they look cool?

So Frost forms an exploration team with the Laika kiddos

What's the dynamic

I saw it, it was actually quite enjoyable.

Had plans to watch this with some friends in a few days.
Is it good?

They're assholes
