...and that's not to be confused with caroline.
i first saw the preview for this movie last december while watching Ratatoulie and immediately put it on MY 2009 most anticipated film list. stop smirking - i can admit: yes, i'm a movie junkie and yes, i happen to love 3D computer animation films.
back to Coraline...this movie gets my official ah-may-zing.
Where do i start? Coraline is the modern day version of Hansel and Gretal. It is the film adaptation of British author, Neil Gaiman's fantasy-horror novella, that tells the tale of a clever, curious, young girl, named Coraline Jones, who discovers a secret door in her new home that leads to a fantasy dream world. In this alternate world, she discovers that her wishes have consequences and nothing is ever perfect without a price. There is so much depth in this storyline, you could spend hours analyzing it. Additionally, Dakota Fanning and Terri Hatcher lend their voices to make up the perfect mother-daughter combo!before seeing this film, i read that this is the first and longest stop-animation film shot in 3D. The characters were shot as puppets; Coraline alone, had over 300 different types of hands!
word on the street is that they released a graphic novel last year, so i'm on a mission to find it.
anyway, i'm trying to keep this short and sweet, so i won't bore you with all the details. just go see it...you won't be disappointed!
in other news, tim burton is one of my fave directors/producers...he's creating this 3D animated film called 9. the preview is pretty dope! needless to say, i was excited!!and yes, it's on my list! check out the preview:
tim burton is epic!!
