Coraline!

[cleolinda]

Aw, Coraline was so fun and scary and gorgeous. (You know the monster in The Nightmare Before Christmas? What's his name, Boogie something? Yeah. On that level, but with more screentime. AHHHH.) And we even ended up seeing it in 3D, which I really recommend--if nothing else, the landscapes have this spectacular depth to them. Of course, even if you

I'm going to see it tomorrow! EXCITEMENT!

Won't be released here for another three months. Sadness.

Wow, everything looks so lovingly made <3

You have no idea--I was just blown away, watching the movie, by the amount of detail and the quality of detail and yet how fluidly everything moved--I just cannot imagine stop-motion animating all of it. There was a yoga instructor mentioned in the credits, and I was like, FOR REAL. I would have lost my fool mind.

My movie-going friend Alicia and I noticed the yoga credit, too. (Remember a few animators at Pixar got disabled during the rushed work on Toy Story 2, and that required less dexterity than all of the Coraline work.)

Also-also, I am totally in love with the cat.

Agreed. I love the design, and Keith David was inspired casting.

It was a wonderful movie. The knitting was crazy awesome and not something I expected.

Yeah, I saw that entry but didn't want to distract from the Coraline goodness quite yet.

[saramiskismet]

Bask in the goodness. Basssk.

I made the mistake of reading the book last night, and then some movie reviews and pictures, and now I'm not actually interested in the movie anymore. ;_;
I was so excited, too. Now with every new thing I see, I'm a little more frustrated. (Henry Selick is brilliant, but the movie just makes me... weirdly uncomfortable.)

You know at the beginning, when the big 3D needles are sewing the doll. One poked out towards the audience, and a little boy behind me said, "Please don't hit me!"
