The “Coraline” Animated 2009 Film Looks Freakin’ Awesome!
WATCH THE TRAILER FOR “CORALINE” BELOW:
Henry Selick’s latest project announces that stop-motion is back in style! Selick’s last feature-length project (”James & the Giant Peach”) was over a decade ago, while it’s been 15 years since he revolutionized the medium for modern audiences with “The Nightmare Before Christmas”.
“Coraline” is the 2008 animated stop-motion fantasy film based on Neil Gaiman’s novella of the same name. It will be animated and co-directed by Henry Selick and is scheduled to be released in theaters on February 6, 2009.
Selick’s return to the movie fold comes in the form of Coraline, a marriage of his knack for dark whimsy and novelist Neil Gaiman’s gently twisted sense of humor. The plot details a young girl named Coraline (voiced by Dakota Fanning) and her descent into a fantastical alternate reality that will require all her brains and resources to escape out of and back into our world.
“James and the Giant Peach” is a genius piece of animation, “The Corpse Bride” was WAY underrated and we all know “Nightmare Before Christmas” is a classic, so this new tale is highly anticipated in my little world. Animation is my all time favorite genre of film and Selick is considered a god amongst the folks at Dreamworks Animation, Disney AND Pixar if that is telling you anything. I cannot wait, enough said.
