Coraline (animation)/Trivia: Difference between revisions

Line 2:

* [[Cowboy Bebop at His Computer]]: "[[Tim Burton]]'s Coraline", now [http://journal.neilgaiman.com/2009/02/by-way-of-preamble.html Neil Gaiman has his say] about that lack of research.

* [[Defictionalization]]: The Detroit Zoo snowglobe.

* [[Development Hell]]: More like production hell. It's a stop-motion movie after all.

** Several times during the production, Henry Selick told Dakota Fanning to raise the tone of her voice, most likely because the production started when she was 9 and ended when she's 14.

* [[Doing It for the Art]]: The production speed is about 3 seconds per day.

** They made about 20 puppets for every character, each one of them taking months to make. And they replace the mouths between shots.

** The garden scene, the mice circus, the theater, the Other Mother transforming and the other world disintegrating... they're not CGI. They're done with stop-motion. The mice are animated by replacement parts- every single movement needs an ''entirely new, sculpted mouse figure!''

** The characters' hairs have to be "injected" one by one.

** The costumes are made by an impossibly patient lady with needles as small as human hairs. That lady's name is Althea Crome, and her part in the making of the film is detailed in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VT5MFdAB7fI&feature=player_embedded# this] video.

* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: [[Keith David]] as a black cat who seems incredibly [[Badass]] just because it's his voice. Admittedly, he was pretty badass in the book, too. Luckily, his fight with that one rat doesn't take [[They Live!|five minutes of screen time]].

** Keith David voiced Spawn in Todd McFarlane's Spawn, which is based on the comic book of the same name that Neil Gaiman wrote an issue and filed a lawsuit over.
