Aside | Coraline: Neil Gaiman talks about the animated movie
Fans of Neil Gaiman’s graphic novels may be interested to hear that Coraline is being brought to the big screen through stop-motion animation.
The 2002 novella – which won Gaiman no less than three awards – tells the fantasy story of Coraline, a bored little girl who opens the door to an alternative world and finds herself trapped in the weird and wonderful.
Henry Selick – perhaps most famous for The Nightmare Before Christmas – is directing the movie and in the interview Gaiman talks about how well Selick and the animating team have brought his ideas to life.
The stop-motion animation suits this tale perfectly and I’m looking forward to watching it when it is released in March 2009.

Hi - I'm Clare, welcome to my little corner of the Internet. I'm a bit of a bookaholic - I love books so much that new ones appear on my shelf faster than I can read them LOL. Blue Archipelago is full of reviews of all the books I've read since January 2008, as well as other bookish thoughts. Feel free to have a mooch around; maybe you'll discover some new books or authors that you've never come across before. If you've read the same books as me be sure to leave a comment and let me know what you thought. I'm always on the lookout for new titles and authors so if you come across a fabulous book be sure to leave me a recommendation! If you're an author or a publisher and you'd like me to review a book for you then click on the *Send me a book* link up there and leave me a message :)
