Local Phil Knight owned animation studio Laika is getting some attention for their Christmas animation that appears on Apple computer’s website. It features a Rankin and Bass like animated versions of the “hello I’m a Mac, and I’m a PC” guys, as well as the one and only Santa Claus. At my part time gig Laika employees are often rushing in to buy external hard drives in a panic (side props to them for shopping locally) so it’s fun to see their efforts paying off. Given that St. Jobs himself is a former Reedie, it’s cool to see another local tie between Portland and my favorite computer company.
