Inspiration: Coraline and Henry Selick

I’ve been a huge fan of Henry Selick without realizing it. He’s the man behind (one of my all-time favs) “The Nightmare Before Christmas” and “James and the Giant Peach.” His latest creation Coraline has been a three-year project shot entirely in 3-D stop-motion animation. Linking up with heavy-hitter Neil Gaiman (fantasy writer who’s film work includes Stardust and Beowolf), the film is as whimsical and endearing as his past work. It’s a beautiful piece of artistry, produced by Oregon-based Laika.
