CORALINE SNEAK PEEK WEEK - Day 1: Behind the Scenes of Coraline

when i saw it at the movies everyone was like oh my gosh she said oh my god and i was like wtf not that big of a deal

Isn't that the guy who does the Apple ads for Macs at 0:38?

John Hodgman? Yeah, he plays the PC.

iThought Tim Burton made Nightmare Before Christamas and Coraline.......it looks so like Tim Burton :(

No, Tim Burton didn't even make Nightmare Before Christmas. That was done by the same director who did Coraline. People would say that this "looks like Tim Burton" because it looks like the Nightmare Before Christmas. It's funny that once of Burton's most iconic films wasn't even made by him. X3

If you want to see a stop-motion movie that Tim Burton actually made, you should see Corpse Bride.

Actually, it was based on his poem and the characters/character design/story/most of the script was all by him. He didn't have time to direct it though, especially since stop-motion is a notoriously time-consuming medium, since he was working on the Batman movies at the time. It is, however, a "Tim Burton movie". I do believe Henry Selick is a genius though.

It's as much "his movie" as he came up with the idea. Someone still had to actually make it, though, and I'm inclined to give them a bit more credit.

this movies rocks the house out!

In the book coraline had brown hair.

There's a photograph in the movie where Coraline has brown hair, she apparently dyed it in the movie to look more interesting.
