OMSI: 15 Days of Laika, through October 31st

OMSI is celebrating Laika's 15th anniversary with 15 days of all five Laika film screenings in the Empirical Theater.

That gives you an average of about three years to make an animated film. That sounds about right, though the release schedule doesn't exactly match up.

During this time, they also have special exhibits of characters and sets.

The display cases don't allow for perfect photos, but I love the action of the zombie clinging to the van in ParaNorman, so that picture with glare is included.

Enriching the exhibits, there is some explanatory signage with the displays, but there are also scheduled talks from various Laika personnel.

For example, today's speaker is Brian McLean, Director of Rapid Prototyping (3-D printing).

That makes this a great opportunity for people interested in animation and film and those technologies, but it could probably be pretty interesting just for fans of the films as well.

15 days isn't very long. It's already half over. If you have any interest at all, better get there now! Access to the exhibits is included with either film or general OMSI admissions.

COVID19: OMSI is enforcing masking and social distancing.

Accessibility: OMSI has accessible parking, elevators, and seems pretty good for mobility issues. The lighting in the Laika exhibit is fairly low with some small spotlights, and nothing strobe or flashing.
