VIDEO See how Kubo and the Two Strings was made- stop motion magic

Kubo is made by Laika, one of the few studios in the world still practising the ancient art of stop motion. These pictures are put together a frame at a time over years, with animators working on every detail of these physically created heads and bodies and fantastical creatures to bring them to life for audiences.

It's the very definition of a painstaking process, and hard to capture in any form but time-lapse. Here you get to see long hours flit by in seconds, and also understand how these lifeless puppets are brought to fluid life. It really is a magical process.
