BASED IN SAINT PAUL, MN
Obsession-Worthy Puzzles From Blue Kazoo
Blue Kazoo was born in 2020 based on the idea that jigsaw puzzles could be an obsession—and obsessed we are! In January 2023, Blue Kazoo launched its first-ever line of 100% plastic-free, premium sustainable jigsaw puzzles. They eliminated cellophane and poly bags, added an FSC-certified blackboard, and switched to biodegradable inks and finishes. The results speak for themselves. We hope you love them!

Art-i-Fact #6
The costume department test-dyed a number of fabric swatches (like these intended for Judge Hopkins) to get exactly the right color combinations for the Puritan-era zombie costumes in ParaNorman.
Art-i-Fact #7
Coraline has 9 outfit changes throughout the film Coraline (including a pink skirt made with stretchy, hand-dyed lycra fabric and multi-color embroidery)—more than any other character in any LAIKA film to date.
Art-i-Fact #9
This beetle print—a test swatch made from bamboo glued onto kimono fabric in strips—is inspired by the Japanese rhinoceros beetle, or kabutomushi (kabuto means “helmet” and mushi means “bug”).
Art-i-Fact #8
Mr. Link’s plaid suit is a nod to Northwest clothing conventions of the day, as well as weaving history, specifically the textile manufacturing companies White Stag and Pendleton, which were established in Oregon during this time period.
Art-i-Fact #10
Finding the pattern for Sir Lionel's houndstooth suit involved collaborating with an expert weaver to meticulously establish the size, shape, and color tones of the interlocking shapes, ultimately reflecting his modern, fashion-forward sensibilities with rich blues and yellows.
