Might as well learn how this movie actually got made. In this episode, Benjamin Boster reads about Coraline(2009) and focuses on the production side of things. Henry Selick directed the project at Laika, using painstaking stop motion animation and early 3D photography techniques. There are hundreds of detailed sets and thousands of tiny, carefully built puppets, which sounds exhausting because it absolutely was. It’s calm, steady, and no whispering, just a straightforward look at the craft and effort behind one of the most technically impressive animated films of its time. Happy sleeping!
