LAIKA Studios took on the Fight Challenge with an incredible stop-motion video. The original video challenge was organized by actor and stuntwoman Zoe Bell and featured a number of famous faces taking turns showing off their best fighting moves. Among the celebrities involved were Black Widow stars Scarlett Johansson and Florence Pugh, Guardians of the Galaxy's Zoe Saldana, and Birds of Prey's Margot Robbie, amongst many others. It didn't take long for the video to go viral, and now the animators over at LAIKA Studios are taking their own swing at this new internet challenge.
The animation studio took to Twitter to share the Fight Challenge video, stating that "No one ever said animating was safe." The minute-long video features some phenomenal stop-motion animation of a variety of objects and characters from the studio's animators that are currently working from home. The company also said that fans can "follow [them] on TikTok to see more!" Check out the full Fight Challenge video below.
LAIKA Studios is most notably known for their stop-motion adaptation of Coraline but has found an abundance of success over the years with several other films, including Kubo and the Two Strings and ParaNorman. Their most recent release, Missing Link, also took home a Golden Globe this year for Best Animated Feature Film. This new Fight Challenge video shows, once again, how immensely talented these animators are. Not to mention, it's becoming a fun way for people to keep themselves occupied while staying at home due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
