Coraline, Kubo, Paranorman, & Boxtrolls are all at the Portland Art Museum

LAIKA has on display several props, puppets, costumes, and set pieces at the Portland Art Museum. The exhibit will go till May 20th, 2018, so you still have plenty of time to get to Portland OR to see it.

What to expect: The museum has dedicated two major rooms to house the various items created by the artists at LAIKA. As you walk into the Museum you will be able to get up close and personal (no touching) to the Other Mother's Pink Palace 1/6th scale house. Just beyond that is the skeleton warrior from Kubo and the Two strings that towers over you. A puppet of Beetle, Monkey and Kubo are also found in this room.

There is a huge wall full of replacement faces from each film that show the how many different faces it takes for one full second of film.

In the second and main room you will find the puppets of Kubo's mother, one of the Sisters, Agatha Pentergast, the Other Mother in her final form, Kubo, Norman, Eggs, and Coraline. There are full sets of the Babcock home & school hallway, Kubo's fathers home, the Hall of Lord Portley-Hind dance scene (also full of puppets), Snatcher chasing Eggs, Fish and Shoe, and the Other Father's Garden as a main centerpiece. Several little props and costumes (too many to county) littler the walls. Three Little Me dolls, the sewing machine of the Other Mother, full Moombeast puppet, the one eye'd sea creature from Kubo, armatures, pre-production art, and more. I was finally able to go this weekend, and would love to go back with a high definition camera to take millions of photos!

There is a gift shop off to the side where you can get tons of LAIKA merchandise.
