ParaNorman

This article Taught me about the Film ParaNorman by LAIKA Studios. It's a Stop Motion movie made by the same group of people who made Coraline. I Actually Saw part of this movie before, and it was really cool!
From the article I learned that Stop-Motion animation is becoming more and more popular in movies. I also Learned that LAIKA Studios has learned how to use 3D successfully in films, and hasn't tried to use it as a the biggest crowd pleaser. I also learned that this studio uses 3D Printers to make the many facial gestures of their characters.
I Liked this article because it taught me more about how this movie was made, and how they made their models, and characters.
Something i didnt like about the article was that it showed me that while animation is fun, and enjoyable, it also takes a lot of work, and time to finish the movie.
A question i have about the article is, Is LAIKA going to end up being the mobster name in stop motion, Like what pixar is to 3D animation?
