LAIKA: Frame x Frame Now Open!

August has been quite the busy month both for us archivists (moves, vacations, etc) and the whole Laika community! In addition to new glimpses at Wildwood, the closure of Hidden Worlds at the Museum of Pop Culture after 17 months and the 15th anniversary remastered rerelease of Coraline, LAIKA: Frame x Frame is now open at BFI Southbank!

The exhibit seems to have first opened for Empire VIP Club members on Sunday, August 10th alongside a premiere screening of the Coraline 15th anniversary remaster. For this premiere, Henry Selick and Teri Hatcher were in attendance with both speaking about the film. 

Unfortunately, comprehensive documentation on this exhibit is proving hard to find and neither of our two person team is able to make it to London. If you have photos and/or videos from this exhibit or would like to document the visit out of the goodness of your heart, please contact us at laikaarchivists@gmail.com

Chicken Run 2: Dawn of the Nugget (2023)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was my favourite movie at two years old, so this is obviously not biased.

This one is up there for my favourite movies within the last two years. Bella Ramsey was such a great addition to the already lovable group.

I love the continuation of this story because the first movie ended with a neat and tidy finish. It was such a good representation of new generations changing the status quo. Every character is just as funny as the first film, and while this one may not be as quotable as the first one, it is a future classic.

(My favourite from the first film is said by Babs: “My whole life flashed before my eyes! …It was really boring.”)

I would not be upset if we got another Chicken Run in the future.

Watch this:

for more chicken vigilantes

if you need to see the next generation of chicken vigilantes
