Director Henry Selick describes his upcoming “Coraline” as a marriage of “old-fashioned” stop-motion animation with the latest 3-D techniques. During a footage presentation Friday, roughly 20 minutes of Focus Features’ “Coraline” — the first stop-motion animated film to be produced in stereoscopic 3-D — was shown. It was mostly finished, though it did include some temp music.
“Coraline” is an adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s best seller, which follows a young girl who walks through a secret door in her new home and discovers an alternate version of her life. The film opens wide on February 6.

Oh cool! Looks very interesting – & here comes a new animation feature contender!
what else is there this year, besides the 3 on the sidebar?
Bolt…
Igor…
Ponyo on the cliff..?
Clone Wars.. ha ha!
Can’t think of any lesser additions like the usual ‘Over the Hedge’ or ‘Shark Tale’…
Well, we can certainly hope and keep our fingers crossed. I have used this book with my younger classes for several years, and it’s quite popular.
If I’m not mistaken, isn’t Coraline now to be released in 2009?
