Coraline - Coming to theaters in February 2009

by admin on Nov.20, 2008, under Cool Beans

Coraline, an upcoming stop-animation film, is getting close to being released. With Henry Selick (Nightmare Before Christmas) and Mike Cachuela in charge of direction and animation, my hopes are set HIGH - WAY HIGH!!! Coraline is also being produced at Laika Studios - just 100 miles north of here - in Portland, OR, and could be the biggest cinematic release Oregon has seen in quite a while.

Coraline

Trailer

From Wikipedia:
Coraline is the story of a young girl (Dakota Fanning) who unlocks a mysterious door in her new home in Ashland, Oregon, and enters into an adventure in a parallel reality. On the surface, this other world eerily mimics her own life—though much more fantastical. In it, Coraline encounters such off-kilter inhabitants as the morbidly funny Miss Forcible (Jennifer Saunders) and Miss Spink (Dawn French), and a counterfeit mother—who attempts to keep her. Ultimately, Coraline must count on her resourcefulness, determination, and bravery to get back home.
