    Just Imagine The Patience They Have.
  • @krynetik
    America needs to protect Laika Studios as a national treasure.
  • @shinjiikari6894
    The fact that they're only oscar nominees, every movie they made deserves an oscar, you can tell they poured their soul into their films
  • @user-up2qj9hw6j
    Everyone’s talking about their patience but imagine the artists who make the sculptures 😳
  • @gr9032
    It always blows me away when I actually watch the movies and think that they are made like this... slowly by hand.
  • @forgedude
    "Its real lights on real objects... and there is something about the imperfection of reality that is magical " . Wonderfully said.
  • Give Laika an oscar already guys, they deserve it, the work they put into every film should be recognized by the academy. I couldn't even tell they were stop-motion they're so flawless.
  • @PhatKochi
    I love how the 'behind the scenes' just look like the normal scene playing in a normal speed while the animators are working on them extremely fast
  • @oakmin9047
    I got so much respect for these guys. I can't even get myself to animate frame by frame in Maya, even with keyframes, tween , blendshapes, hair and cloth simulations etc sometimes even 10 to 15 seconds would take a whole day or more and you only have to focus on one or 2 things at a time and not the entire movement as a whole. The level of dedication and patience they have is insane.
  • @besttimesoflife
    This is like an extraordinary integration of Arts, Engineering, Hardwork and a whole lot of Passion!
  • @H0TWHEELS
    After 30 minutes in I would be throwing the figures😆
  • @Cynocide
    And this is why we should appreciate Play-Doh and Clay 😂
  • @SuperRamtin
    I'm a stop motion animator myself and I was (and still am) interested in seeing Studios where they make animations. I can't imagine the pain they had to go through And when I try to think about it, I realize there's no way for me to get to their level of hard work 😩 makes me respect them even more! 💯
  • @alienpotato3671
    i REALLY respect those who make the stop motion animation ;w;
  • @coryo617
    cant imagine how long it takes for them to change out the mouth for each character when the actors speak ...lol damn..
  • @ly7678
    The amount of patients in this kills me already
  • @smith599
    That is so amazing. The patience they have is insane. They do it so well I thought it was all 3D animated. Bravo 👏
