Great movie! If you show a 8 year old or under this movie, which is intended to What's the story? Is it any good? Talk to your kids about How do both Coraline and her parents change over the course of the movie? Our editors recommend. The Nightmare Before Christmas. Tim Burton magic with just a touch of scariness.
Tim Burton's Corpse Bride. It was, in short, a massive undertaking -- one that took four years to complete. We've got all the fascinating details about how this modern animated classic came into existence.
On the surface, you'd think any Hollywood studio would have jumped at the chance to make Coraline. After all, it's based on a book by best-selling author Neil Gaiman — a writer with a large, devoted fan base to match his immense talent. Surprisingly, no studio in town would go anywhere near the project when he and Selick pitched it.
Gaiman told Entertainment Weekly that some of them were scared off by stop-motion animation, which they deemed non-commercial in an era where computer-animated features were dominant. Others thought boys wouldn't go see it because the story had a female lead character, rather than a male. There was similar concern that girls wouldn't go see it because it was slightly scary. After a lot of rejections, they finally convinced Focus Features to say yes. Because it partially takes place in a fantasy world, stop-motion animation was a perfect fit for Coraline.
The process made it look different from other animated movies. Hard as it may be to believe in retrospect, not everyone was on board with the approach. Producer Bill Mechanic told The Mercury News that he initially assumed the film would be made in live-action.
Only upon being convinced of stop-motion's possibilities did he agree this was the right way. It's almost impossible to adapt a book for the big screen without making some changes. Sometimes things need to be deleted or condensed for time considerations.
Other times, new elements have to be added because translating the book literally just wouldn't work onscreen. Coraline was an example of the latter. While writing his adaptation, Henry Selick kept hitting a wall. He knew that Coraline has a lot of interesting things happen to her, but there was very little way for her to process them so that the audience would fully understand what she was thinking and feeling.
He therefore added a character who wasn't in the book. Wybie, the grandson of the landlady, was created so that Caroline would have someone else to talk to, rather than talking to herself. They Might Be Giants is a rock band known for catchy melodies and extremely quirky lyrics. To that end, TMBG was hired to write ten songs for the soundtrack.
The plan didn't work out. Coraline was different from many stop-motion animated films, in that it was the first of its kind to be shot in 3D. The Nightmare Before Christmas had been post-converted, but Selick wanted to make his movie native to the format.
This created a lot of additional challenges. Specifically, he wanted to use 3D to create an effect similar to the one audiences felt in The Wizard of Oz , when the film dramatically shifts from black-and-white to color. For scenes set in the Other World, things were further apart to create more depth and subsequently emphasize the 3D effect.
Making the costumes for stop-motion animated characters is far more complicated than it looks. It's not just about sewing tiny articles of clothing to put on the figures.
How they will look and move on camera must also be considered. Coraline 's costume designer, Deborah Cook, said Coraline's famous raincoat required wires and weights underneath it, so that it would look realistic onscreen.
Other articles needed similar construction. So you need to make it super heavy on the bottom of the hems so it looks right for the scale. It's got to be nerve-wracking being an author and watching as someone translates one of your books into a movie. You have to hope that they remain true to your intentions.
If they have to change things, you hope that those alterations don't destroy what you crafted. Neil Gaiman was largely very happy with Henry Selick's film version of Coraline , except for the ending, which he hated.
The writer told Entetainment Weekly that he didn't care for a moment in the finale in which Coraline is dragged around by a metal hand, and then Wybie rides in on his bike and smashes the hand with a rock. Ranft passed away in a tragic auto accident in Selick paid tribute to his pal with a scene in Coraline. The family moves into the Pink Palace with the help of the Ranft Brothers moving company. The characters were designed to look like Joe and his brother Jerome, who also had ties to Pixar.
