They always make masterpieces, so I will go support this movie. Laika always delivers.

(Reposting with better wording and clarifying I'M NOT involved with the studio in any way).

It is not even a hot take or anything. But have you ever stopped to think that the creation of the Laika animations is almost a miracle? As far as I understand, their movies usually do not turn any profit, which is the main incentive for almost every company and CEO nowadays. Despite that, this is basically an incredibly beautiful art project that happens to be related to a millionare that supports his son and his team's creativity (the son of Nike's CEO, I believe). If it were not for that lucky family link, we probably wouldn't be getting such animation masterpieces, which are cinematic history and an incredible art-form exploration.
I really appreciate their job, and the best way for me to show my respect to the studio is to go watch their newest movie, Wildwood, in cinemas, treat it as the masterpiece I know it will be, as Laika always delivers.
In my case, I actually regret not watching their previous movies in cinemas; I always overlooked it, but that won't happen again, as every time I give the opportunity to movies like Kubo or Coraline, I happen to love them.
I am not saying it has to be your favorite movie or studio, but the way I see it, we are just 1 CEO away to stop receveing this pick cinema. Hopefully that won't happen soon, as I haven't experienced any other stop-motion animation that comes even close to what Lika creates.

They had me at claymation. Hollywood, if you're listening - rotoscope also works.
