From the creative minds that brought you Coraline, The Boxtrolls, ParaNorman, Kubo and the Two Strings, and the Golden Globe® -Winning Missing Link, LAIKA and MoPOP present Hidden Worlds: The Films of LAIKA.

This traveling exhibition showcases the creativity, artistry, and innovation that make the studio a global leader in stop motion animation. Visitors will be immersed in the “hidden worlds” of LAIKA — both the magical settings the characters inhabit and the behind-the-scenes wonders of producing these modern classics.

Highlights:

  • An exclusive sneak peek at LAIKA’s next film, Wildwood, based on the critically acclaimed book by the Decemberists’ Colin Meloy
  • Explore recreations of six LAIKA worlds, including a full-size version of the iconic Other World tunnel in Coraline
  • “Become a LAIKA character” to create and share your own stop-motion scene
  • Take a “puppet’s-eye-view” by controlling mini cameras embedded in an actual LAIKA film set
