Fans of one the best animation studios in business today are in luck. LAIKA, the studio responsible for the animated films Coraline, ParaNorman, and The Boxtrolls, is digging into its vaults and pulling out over 250 puppets, models, props, and art for a limited auction next month in Beverly Hills.


The Art of LAIKA will feature an array of handcrafted works from each film, including production puppets of the main characters from each film, intricate large-scale production props like ParaNorman’s “Zombie Attack” vending machine, and hand-drawn character designs. If you’re feeling especially ambitious, the studio is also auctioning off Snatcher’s Mecha-Drill from The Boxtrolls, which, at over five feet high, is the largest prop ever created for a stop-motion film. A portion of the proceeds will go to The Art of Elysium, a non-profit that provides arts workshops and activities for critically ill children.

If you want to be involved in the auction, you can visit Heritage Auctions’ site for it here. For folks who just want to see this artwork before it gets auctioned off, it will be on display at Heritage Auctions locations in Dallas, TX on January 27-29, New York, NY on February 3-5, and Beverly Hills, CA on February 9-12. You’d also be well-advised to run the other way if you show up and everyone has buttons for eyes.
