LAIKA Sundays
Join us on the third Sunday of each month between February and May for an immersive and family-friendly day of all things LAIKA Studios. Each LAIKA Sunday will include opportunities to meet some of the incredible artists who make the magic happen behind the scenes, participate in a LAIKA-inspired family tour, get creative with some analog animation activities, and settle in to watch a LAIKA film or other classic animated work.
