I saw Coraline last week (private screening) and it’s stunningly beautiful! A great story, a spunky girl, and a quirky cast of characters all living near or in an old Victorian in Ashland, Oregon. Go see it, and be transformed by it’s this 3D, Portland-made, top quality movie.
I cant weight to see coraline, i have been weighting for it for about 6 months now, from when i first found out it was coming out.
came across a competition giving away some coraline goodies at anim8 stop motion as well. worth checking out: anima stop motion animation
There’s a bunch of short films about the handmade nature of the film on the official movie site:
