Anime Limited & Plaion Pictures Acquire Home Video Rights for Laika Catalogue
Anime Limited and Plaion Pictures, in partnership with LAIKA, have announced the acquisition of LAIKA’s catalogue for home video release in the UK, , Italy, , Benelux, Spain and Portugal.
The releases include Coraline (celebrating its 15th anniversary in 2024), ParaNorman, Kubo and the Two Strings, and The Boxtrolls on Blu-ray, and 4K UHD.
The acquisition marks Anime Limited and Plaion Pictures’ continued commitment to celebrating animated film and physical media. The return of the films to the wider market just in time for the holidays starts with favourites Coraline and The Boxtrolls out on 25th November on standard edition blu-ray and a special edition steelbook with 4K UHD and blu-ray. ParaNorman and Kubo and the Two Strings will be released on 9th December on standard edition blu-ray and special edition 4K UHD and blu-ray steelbooks.
The relaunch of the films into the physical media market coincides with LAIKA’s successful re-release of Coraline in cinemas across the US, UK and Ireland this summer, with more screenings slated for release across other territories. The release of these much-adored films physically allows for the introduction of these LAIKA classics to a new generation of animation fans.
The films are now available to pre-order with various retailers across the territories. I think we can easily say there will be plenty cinephiles extending their Christmas wish lists now!
