Coraline, the teeny sweaters and the evil buttons
I have seen news of the teeny jumpers and gloves worn by Coraline (in the movie based on Neil Gaiman's wonderfully imaginative book) popping up on a few blogs and so I've jumped on the bandwagon (not very original I know but I couldn't resist).
You see, Coraline has the cutest clothes - tiny hand knitted gloves and sweaters made by Althea Crome, the sets are all beautifully handcrafted and if you watch the trailer it says it talks about a world created from hand, like "a forest of cherry blossom made from hand-painted popcorn and 500 handmade Scottie dogs that fill a theatre!" How could I resist such temptation....
Using stop motion animation to make the film means that all the little parts have to be made by hand - this sneak preview goes behind the scenes... with meticulous attention to detail as outlined in this article in Metropolismag.com.

Ohhh this is amazing! I have never heard of the book and much less the coming movie. What a delightful discovery, all thanks to you!!! Now I need to find a news paper to see if it has come to norwegian movie theatres or if I have to wait some more. Been a long time since I was so eager to see a movie, tihhii...
I must see this film :)
I want to see this movie, but I'm afraid it will be too scary for the kids. Amazing how much work is put into a film like this.
I've just discovered we have to wait until the 8th of May to see it here in the UK!
Ooh I'm so excited about seeing this film - and devastated it's taking so long to get here!
You're a well seasoned traveller - could you not hop across the pond, watch it, then tell me all about it?! Better still - take me with you!!
:)
That is a looong time to wait! Thought of you yesterday when they showed a segment on "how the movie was made"...where was it...oh on David Letterman. Anyhow; amazing! It just made it even harder to wait to May.
I have to see this now! Eva at Effunia posted about it too! Caroline wants to see it also!
