For those of you who do not know me, I'm a huge fan of traditional animation. While the new 3d CG ones from Pixar, Dreamworks Animation (Kung Fu Panda), and Walt Disney Animation Studios (Bolt) are fun to watch, there's something inherently more compelling about traditional works such as hand 2d animation and stop motion. I personally think that because of time constraints on drawing and stop motion it gives writers more time to flesh out and make the story that much better, but that is not always the case (just pick any pokemon movie).
I'm excited as I recently found out that Henry Selick (the director of Nightmare before Christmas and James and The Giant Peach) is finally bringing us a new stop motion film, Coraline (that's right Coraline, not Caroline). I have been anticipating for this one for a VERY long time, ever since it's announcement years ago. None of you probably read the book by Neil Gaiman that it is based on so you can check that out as well. Currently it is schedule to release on February 6, 2009.
