CineFix - IGN Movies and TV | Neil Gaiman vs Laika: Fantasy and Reality in Coraline - What’s the Difference? @CineFix | Uploaded 3 years ago | Updated 2 days ago
In 2009, artisanal stop motion animation house Laika released their first feature film, Coraline. Based on Neil Gaman's book of the same name, the film follows a young girl stumbling into a fantastic 'other' world to become a sneak-up scary kids movie classic. But how did the film adapt the realistic elements of the book into the visual whimsy of a creative juggernaut making its mark in Hollywood? It's time to ask, What's the Difference?
Written for the screen and directed by Henry Selick, of The Nightmare Before Christmas fame, both the book and the movie draw lines between Coraline's worlds of fantasy and reality. So what changes need to be made to the story to account for that Laika trademark look?
This episode was written by Clint Gage and animated by Casey Redmon.
