'Coraline' Trailer Debuts Online
Damn, that stop-motion animation is impressive
I am one of the select few that does not like Henry Selick's The Nightmare Before Christmas. I am ceaselessly amazed at how I am able to fall asleep about 30 minutes in every single time I try to watch it. I have also never even seen his stop-motion animated feature James and the Giant Peach. There is no reason that I haven't seen that one outside of the fact I just haven't seen it. However, I am willing to admit the work that goes into a stop-motion animated feature is astounding. Sure, CGI animated features take work and some patience, but stop-motion animation is nothing but patience and the ability necessary to make such a feature look fluid is amazing.
That said, the first official trailer for Selick's next feature, Coraline, based on Neil Gaiman's international best-selling book has come online and while the film itself doesn't really interest me, there is no denying how great it looks from a visual perspective. Just how Selick's The Nightmare Before Christmas is available in 3-D now, Coraline will also be presented in 3-D. Of course, there is one BIG difference, Coraline was filmed in 3-D and is the first stop-motion animated feature to get the treatment.
The flick hits theaters on February 6 and stars the voice talent of Dakota Fanning, Teri Hatcher and Ian McShane as they tell the story of Coraline Jones, a little girl who finds a secret door and discovers an alternate version of her life on the other side.
Check out the trailer and see whatcha think. You can check it out in high-definition right here.

Sure looks interesting.
Looks much more colorful than the world described in the book.
I'm a huge fan of Gaiman, but haven't gotten to Coraline yet. However, this looks stunning, and I'll definitely be seeing it.
You could try skipping the first 30 minutes of Nightmare… It's Danny Elfman's music, and his performance as Jack Skellington, that sells the movie for me more than its visuals and story.
wow that animation is rivetting.
