Coraline 2024

Description: Henry Selick has a distinct style, therefore he looks for stories that fall into the slightly twisted, quasi-fairy tale category where he feels at ease making films. Thus, he has already worked with Tim Burton on an adaptation of Roald Dahl. Neil Gaiman’s short book serves as the basis for his fourth feature film, Coraline. Selick finds the ideal style to realise Gaiman’s vision by using stop-motion animation to create human beings with the distinguishing features seen in both James and the Giant Peach and The Nightmare Before Christmas. Although the final story may have some similarities to “Hansel and Gretel” and “Alice in Wonderland,” in the end, it stands alone. Watch popular animated films for free on Afdah.
