OH, I FORGOT TO SHOW YOU THE LAIKA PHOTOS
So I did end up going to see ParaNorman at MOMI! And I got to see their little LAIKA exhibit, too!
I spent so much time oohing and ahhing over these puppets. They're so beautiful IRL. So detailed. I've wanted to see these up close for literally over a decade, and when I say I cried. lmao
(look at my son, Norman!!! and his little SHOES!!!)
(I remember watching a clip of a woman knitting Coraline's sweater on needles that were the width of human hair, and I've been obsessed with LAIKA's sartorial choices ever since. My god, the detail!)
(idk if a lot of people know how much LAIKA absolutely revolutionized the industry with their 3D-printed faces and inner mechanisms, but I'm obsessed)
(god the DETAIL in their sets, I was losing my mind)
IN CONCLUSION, I was very happy and an absolute geek and openly weeping during ParaNorman, lmao. A very fun day at the museum.
BONUS:
grumpin with the boys
he IS big!!! he's so big IRL!
bork bork bork
chilling with my favorite frog in the world
if taking selfies with muppets is wrong I don't wanna be right

Damn. This has been at the Museum of the Moving Image in Queens since September!
“LAIKA: Life in Stop Motion invites visitors of all ages to appreciate the painstaking work of stop-motion animation, with eight animation stations equipped with 2-D LAIKA character figures and environments that visitors can use to experiment with and create their own short films, then share and post online. The exhibit also includes puppets, sets, and video clips from all five of the studio’s renowned films.”

One of the highlights of visiting the Jim Henson exhibit at the Museum of the Moving Image was hearing this conversation between two young women:
“Look, there’s Miss Piggy.”
“She looks so … beautiful!”
“Yes!”

it was the last day of thanksgiving break, so we decided to head down to the museum of the moving image. it was absolutely wonderful learning so much about the history of film and seeing all the technical components that go on behind the scenes. they had an ongoing zombie exhibit that i was sadly a little too scared to walkthrough and a laika exhibit that i was ridiculously excited about. they even had a station where people could make their own mini stop-motion films. the day was completely lovely and i even made a stop at my favorite french bakery after lunch. even though it was meant to be a relaxing day, there were still times when i thought that i should be studying and doing practice questions. but this was the first day all school-year that i hadn’t done any studying and probably one of the few last chances i’d have to do so before i start clinical rotations. so in the end im rather glad i ended up enjoying my day to the fullest
