I'd just like to get the word out about Coraline, a book by Neil Gaiman that's been made into a movie by Henry Selig (I think) who made _A Nightmare Before Christmas_. The book is a spooky adventure story about a girl discovering a very creepy alternate reality accessed through her house. The film is entirely stop-motion animation. From the clips that are out, the film captures the wierdness and creepiness and fun of the book very very well.
I ask that if you're intereested at all in true, creative film-making by people who are true artists that really love their craft and are really good at it, then please see this film as soon in its run as possible. Opening weekend statistics are very important to movie distributors, and so if you want to encourage distributors and movie theaters to get small, good films like this, then please see it as soon as it's out.
Neil and his publishers have put the book itself free online if you want to check it out.
Here are blog posts by Neil containing - a nice trailer for the film - a bit by Neil in his house, talking about buttons - an HBO inside look at the film
Coraline comes out this Friday, February 6.
