I hope the voice acting is good. The voice acting was fantastic on Coraline, although according to interviews Dakota Fanning had to go through various oddities by recording grunts, heavy breaths and whatnot. They've already taken a good step by having their main character, a young boy, actually voiced by a male. I don't think the movie will be quite as good as Coraline because it doesn't have a solid base like Coraline(book). Although perhaps this will turn out better, I don't know.
@NewAmericanGoth Just a bit of nitpicking here, but it's actually not claymation. It's still stop-motion, but they're using puppets made of hardened plasticine on a skeleton. That means no annoying fingerprints.
@crowarc First of all, this is stop motion which, while it may be enhanced by digital effects later (in terms of post processing) is not really CGI at all. These characters are actually small 3D models that are created through a 3D printer. In fact, most of the set will be created this way and then photographed shot by shot by shot.
Second of all, take a look at other stop motion or claymation films & you'll start getting a feel for the aesthetic. Most animation like this tends to be cartoonish
@SmoteyMote No, most of the set was not made by 3D printers, that would be terribly expensive and slow. Set pieces are made from blueprints in the set shop. The props are made by the model shop, lit by the practical lighting guy, and set in place by the set dressers.
@lava1o It's a bit of both. The bulk of ParaNorman is stop-motion, and Im guessing some special effects and the 'finishing touch' for the stop-motion is made up of CG. While most movies are using CG as the 'meat', in ParaNorman it seems like it's being used as a spice to flavor and tenderize, haha
It warms my heart to see them doing more stop motion animation. After seeing the amazing-ness that was Coraline, I can't wait to see what they can do in this one.
@disneyfundo99 And since what trailer has needed actual audio from film? This trailer is artistic. It doesn't need to be somekind of action filled with original explosions n' stuff. It's just plain artistic.
@disneyfundo99 This is a teaser trailer. The first trailer for Rango was a lot like this (it just had the wind-up goldfish and that was all). As the theatrical trailers are released, you'll be able to see more clips, audio, etc. This trailer is literally meant to tease you (and besides, the movie's not coming out until late next year; it's a bit early to be unveiling much of the completed footage). Just hang tight until more trailers are released! :)
It pains me whenever someone says that both this and Coraline were done by Tim Burton. He had nothing to do with them.

This looks like it will be some sweet stop go motion....
I can tell there is a little bit of computer animation...but if the two are blended nicely...it actually helps the move.
