Plot: The story of Coraline, a girl who, after moving to a new house, finds a tiny door which leads to a parallel universe, where her ‘Other Mother’ is waiting for her. Coraline is treated like a queen in this ‘Other World’, but little does she know something sinister is waiting for her…
Type of animation: It was a stop motion animation, and everything that could be handmade was. The cherry blossom trees were made of popcorn, and there was even a scene with fog where the director, Henry Selick, demanded that they used dry ice rather than CGI.
How the type of animation has changed: Stop motion has changed a lot in complexity. Just over 10 years ago, in 1989, Wallace and Gromit’s first adventure ‘A Grand Day Out’ was created. This was obviously made from people shaping clay models, as you can see fingerprints all over the characters. It’s much less realistic than Coraline, and far shorter. At 1 hour 40 minutes long, Coraline is the longest stop motion animated film to date.
Why I like this animation: I love this animation because it has such a hand-made feel. It's creepy and eyrie, and incredibly detailed. It’s beyond any other stop motion animation, and it’s really amazing.
