The studio also hired music video and video game animator Pete Candeland.
Victor Maldonado and Alfredo Torres, the Annie Award-winning duo together known as Headless, are teaming with Laika to create their next movie. The Oregon-based studio has only released five feature films since 2009, and they seem to be looking to ramp up those productions, with two Travis Knight films in development and some new hires coming on board. Headless, best known for their work on Love + Robots, also worked on Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia, which is where they earned their Annie.
"Animation works best in extremes. It has been gradually growing a broader audience, moving like No-Face from Spirited Away, gathering fans with cutting-edge music videos, iconic games and breakthrough shows like Arcane and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Next: Horror," Candeland said when that movie was announced.
