Which studio is better?
>>151959468Aardman
>>151959468Laika has higher highs and lower lows. Aardman is consistently good to great, but I'd say only the first Chicken Run is a really exceptional film.
>>151959468Aardman just for the fact it wasn't "founded" the way laika was
>>151959468Aardman and no contest, Laika was born beacuse a nepo-baby remates to Nike's founder.
>>151959468I have far more nostalgic attachment to aardman. I still vividly remember getting a Wallace and Gromit DVD with 3 of the shorts for Christmas when I was 8 and rewatching the shit out of it. Even all the behind the scenes material
>>151959468Laika only exist due ties with Nike and theor last movie was their first dud (Missing Link)
>>151959468Laika's animation is unironically too good to the point where using stop motion feels pointless There's a reason aardman always talks about how important imperfections can be.
>>151959468Wish stop motion was more prevalent
>>151959468Laika makes more interesting thingsAardman makes more entertaining things
>>151959468Even though Aardman nowadays sticks heavy to their snaggle-toothed, google-eyed ditzy brand, I think their writing's usually leagues more entertaining and appealing than Laika's. I don't think Laika knows their identity outside of being "the Coraline studio," which is something they clearly don't want to be typecast as since they don't even own the IP.
