Draws on

What the speakers say they, or a film of theirs, drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

Tadahiro Uesugi: 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Coraline (2009), which they were behind as Laika head: Tadahiro Uesugi ⇒ Coraline (the host's read). Coraline's look came from the illustrator Tadahiro Uesugi, whose art Selick brought to life.
    “Coraline, we talk about Toddahiro, Use, Uzuki.”

Drawn on by

What the speakers say drew on them or a film of theirs, marked the same way.

Wendell and Wild (2022): 1 line

  1. unmapped (technique evolution) · through Coraline (2009), which they were behind as Laika head: Coraline ⇒ Wendell and Wild (the maker said so: Selick's own statement). Selick turned against slick 3D-assisted look after Coraline and kept seams visible and embraced artifice in Wendell & Wild.
    “He said Coraline was maybe a little too smooth, and he wanted to go a bit backwards and show off the artifice with this movie.”

Fun items about them

  1. fun, about Travis Knight: The director is Phil Knight's son, was given an animation studio, turned it into Laika, and once had a failed rap career, which the speaker thinks suits He-Man's too-perfect hero.
    “He had a failed rap career.”
