Well, since Coraline is based on the books, people already know the plot. Besides, Coraline has a quick plot. Girl enters seemingly nice world, but said world becomes place of horror. It is hard not to give away the plot.:sweat:
Hey I'm really confused, is this a short that some animation student did or something-- and then they based the movie off of it? Or.. what? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DE4qHy0RruA
Wow! I've never heard of this movie until about a week ago when I started seeing the ads, but it looks really interesting. Plus, the fact it's a dark CGI movie and is rated PG-13(!) really intrigues me. It's been awhile since I really liked an animated film, so I will definitely try to check this out.
They're already selling merchandise. I saw some 9 collectible action figures the other day. But they only had 1 and 9. (I was looking for 6... curse my love for Crispin Glover.)
I've never been enamored with Tim Burton's style...certainly not the way so many others are...but I may just make a point of seeing this movie. On the strenght of the concept and the tv spots...
Burton really has nothing to do with this other than lending his "presented by" producing credit as a marketing tool. Personally, I don't think it looks particularly "Burtonesque". :shrug: More steampunk/Heavy Metal than anything else.
