For the past few years, LAIKA’s Somos employee group has been working with artists across the studio to build a deck of lotería cards featuring iconic LAIKA characters. For this year’s Hispanic Heritage Month, they hosted a lively lotería game featuring these custom cards. The festivities rounded out with music and dancing at our monthly Friday Party, a delicious Agua de Jamaica served at our on-site coffee shop, and “Charlas at LAIKA,” weekly Spanish practice sessions. Thank you to LAIKA Somos for bringing so much celebration and creativity to the studio! #LifeAtLAIKA #HispanicHeritageMonth

ParaNorman’s return to theaters (in newly remastered 3D!) has us feeling nostalgic. For every film, we keep track of the LAIKAns who welcome babies during production, so we can celebrate with them. At the recent Friends & Family screening of ParaNorman, several of the ParaNorman “production babies” and their LAIKAn parents gathered for a photo. So much fun to bring the gang together! #LifeAtLAIKA #ParaNorman
