What if Laika founded in 1966?

If you are an animation fan, then you may of familiar with a company in Oregon known as Laika, which was established in 2005 by Nike’s Phil Knight after replacing Will Vinton Studio.

So with that said, let’s imagine if Laika founded in 1966 and figure what could’ve been in this theory idea.

Changes

 * They'd be the first company to make stop-motion animated films. They would have done the Gumby cartoons before Laika was founded
 * They would be known as the kings of stop motion animation, along with Aarman Animations.
 * They would do stop-motion animated shorts at first.
 * While real life that Laika took over Will Vinton Studios, in this AU, it would’ve first headquartered in Vancouver, BC, Canada in 1966, before moved to Oregon to replace Will Vinton’s studios in 2005.
 * The name Laika is named after the Soviet space dog who sent in space in 1957, but in here, let’s imagine if the company would’ve founded by Lillian "Laika" Brown (1933-2019; a fictional person).
 * Laika would’ve gone through previous names like Studio Laika, Ltd. (1966-1973), Laika Brown Productions (1974-1986), Laika Brown Animation, Inc. (1987-2004)
