Nike co-founder Phil knight has purchased 30 acres for a new campus to be built for the growing Laika Entertainment. With Henry Selick at the helm and a handful of productions on the way, Knight promises that the campus will be as unique as the animation created at Laika.
I know of a number of old coworkers from ILM who have made the trek up north to work at this new studio. Hopefully they will produce unique and entertaining animated movies… the more the merrier!
The new campus will include facilities for both computer animation and stop-motion animation. Ground-breaking is scheduled to begin early next year.
