The pristine, detail-rich version Neil Gaiman just put up on his site!

That's going to be so creepy....

Posted by Puffy Treat (Member # 7210) on :

Love how they use the delicate but threatening bare metal rods of a stop-motion puppet's inner frame to represent the Other Mother's hands. [Cool]

Wah... I want a trailer.

Posted by Evie3217 (Member # 5426) on :

Wait... did you see the trailer that comes AFTER Coraline? It's Indiana Jones 4! Yahoo!

But this looks really creepy. I love Neil Gaiman, but I'm really not sure I can watch that. Plus, his stuff is really dark.

Coraline was the hottest book in Alyssa's sixth grade class. I read it to my fifth graders and they absoultely loved and were horrified by it.
The thing is, he can creep you out withut being gory at all. It's just...wicked.

I think I could watch the movie, because in a way, I read the movie. His writing left such strong images in my head.

The music is perfect.

Wow... we are on a Gaiman kick, aren't we? [Smile]

Changed the link again, this time the official, high quality-posting done on Neil Gaiman's blog.

Much better picture and sound quality. This film will look fantastic!

If they do part live action and part 3 d, that will be pretty durn cool

well, if they don't it still will be cool.

The entire film is 3-D. The characters are a mixture of intricate stop-motion puppets and cutting-edge CGI FX techniques.

It is so cool that French & Saunders are voicing the old ladies. And that Keith David will be the cat. [Big Grin]
