LAIKA Picture-In-Picture (Blu-Ray Exclusive)
Before we get to the good stuff, weâve got a little history lesson for ya! In the late 2000âs-early 2010âs, Some Blu-Rays, often those made by Universal, had a feature called âU-Controlâ, which allowed the user to enable various exclusive additional commentary and behind-the-scenes videos alongside the film as it was playing. (Similar to a streamerâs face cam) After ripping the Feature-Length animatics off of another set of Blu-Rays, these were my final frontier for behind-the-scenes media just barely out of reach. Close as my own shelf, But intangible.
(This article goes into much better detail on why these videos are so hard to obtain outside of the Blu-Ray)
And after 6 MONTHS⌠I was FINALLY able to acquire a viable method of ripping these. (That being⌠an HDMI Capture Card.) After recording, I trimmed down the parts I deemed obsolete, And finally, uploaded them to Archive.org!
For the first time in 12-15 YEARS, The LAIKA Picture-In-Picture tracks are widely accessible to the public!
CORALINE PARANORMAN CORALINE (AGAIN)
These contain never-since-seen Interviews, Behind-The-Scenes, Timelapses, set-building, Voice sessions, concept art, studio tours, and more!!
DISCLAIMER: Neil Gaiman appears in both Coraline picture-in-picture tracks, if you do not wish to see him, select the files labeled âCENSOREDâ, where I have done my best to remove any instance where he appears or speaks. Or at the very least, blot out his face. ONE MORE THING⌠Even though Universal has made other LAIKA Blu-Rays besides these two, neither of them have Picture-In-Picture tracks. My disappointment is immeasurable.Â
