Coraline the Tease!
A wee teaser for the movie my lovely and talented Gofflin worked on all last year:
Looks good! All deep textures and spidery creepinesses, spookycutes and all that. I like it! And I’m really glad they decided to go with stop-motion instead of CG for this one (but then, I’m always glad when they go with stop motion instead of CG for anything). After Sandman, Coraline is probably my favorite-ever Neil Gaimany thing, so at first, I have to admit I was a bit worried how this thing would turn out – especially when I heard they ditched all the original Dave McKean designs. But from this teaser and some of the other little bits and pieces I saw up in Portland last year, I think things are going to turn out just fine.
IN THREE DIMENSIONS, even!
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
jeepers, i adore Coraline. when the other mother has that bowl with the buttons and GIANT SEWING NEEDLE… brrrr! one of the creepiest things i ever read.
and wow, look at that smoothe animation! i knew they had vastly improved since NBC with Corpse Bride (her veil flowing around her), but this is some truly amazing stuff! i cant WAIT. (i only hope theaters around me decide to carry it… unlike mirrormask, the bastards).
