One of our favorite perks of working at LAIKA? The free lattes, blended drinks, and Italian sodas served at our in-house coffee shop, Dripsters. This month, we celebrated Dripsters’ third anniversary with a party complete with balloons, cupcakes, caricatures, and trivia. Thank you to our incredible baristas for keeping us caffeinated, hydrated, and happy! #LifeAtLAIKA

Missing Link was the first LAIKA film to win the Golden Globe® for Best Animated Feature and was awarded two Visual Effects Society (VES) awards for Outstanding Visual Effects in an Animated Feature and Outstanding Animated Character, and received seven Annie Award nominations. Kubo received a second Oscar® nomination for Outstanding Visual Effects and won the BAFTA Award, as well as three Annie Awards, the National Board of Review's Best Animated Feature citation, and 19 regional and critics’ group awards.

Last week, LAIKA’s Sustainability Committee and DEI Team hosted a farmers’ market in support and celebration of our local community. Vendors tempted us with Haitian pickles and marinades, Himalayan dumplings, Puerto Rican–Filipino fusion cuisine, small-batch salsa, produce from local farms, and goods from shops that promote eco-friendly lifestyles. Thank you to all the vendors who showed up for such a great event! #LifeAtLAIKA #sustainability #supportlocal

Here at LAIKA, we love dogs, whether they’re the Scottie dogs that cheer on Miss Spink and Miss Forcible’s acrobatics in Coraline, ParaNorman’s ghostly pug Bub, or the very cute puppies that cuddle with LAIKAns when local animal rescue organizations visit the studio. Happy #NationalDogDay to our favorite canine friends on-screen and IRL! #LifeAtLAIKA

Learn more from Nadine about what it’s like to bring hair to life in a miniature world. #LifeAtLAIKA
