Laika Studios, a privately owned company headquartered in Hillsboro, Oregon, US, was founded in 2005. With approximately 730 employees, the studio operates as an independent American animation studio and media enterprise, established through the restructuring of Will Vinton Studios. It specializes in dark, meticulously crafted, and emotionally complex stop-motion feature films. The studio's intellectual property library includes features such as Coraline, ParaNorman, The Boxtrolls, Kubo and the Two Strings, and Missing Link. Laika Studios has received Academy Award nominations for Best Animated Feature for its initial features, with Kubo and the Two Strings also earning a BAFTA and an Oscar nomination for Visual Effects, and Missing Link receiving a Golden Globe for Best Animated Feature Film. The studio's sixth stop-motion feature, Wildwood, is slated for a global theatrical release.
Laika Studios recently unveiled the final trailer for its stop-motion fantasy adventure film, "Wildwood," and opened ticket sales for its U.S. theatrical release on October 23, 2026. Distributed through Fathom Entertainment, select presentations will be available in 4DX, DBOX, and Dolby Cinema. This follows news from September 16, 2026, detailing the film's production at Laika Studios in Hillsboro, Oregon, where artists are crafting an adaptation of Colin Meloy’s dark fantasy novel. The studio describes "Wildwood" as its most ambitious feature to date, following two young Portlanders as they venture into a forbidden forest to find a child stolen by a mad queen. Earlier, on September 9, 2026, the American Film Institute announced that the U.S. premiere of "Wildwood" will open the 40th edition of AFI FEST on October 21.
