If there's already a thread for this film, I didn't find it.

And if there's not, I'm astounded. This movie was a spectacular achievement in stop-motion animation and 3-D.

From what I understand, tomorrow is the last day to see it in 3-D (at least that's what I've heard in the commercials).

If you're a film fan, and if you love animated films, go see this. Tomorrow.
 
It was the first time i saw a 3d movie and man that was awesome! I really loved how it almost got video game-esque towards the end. it was amazing!
 
For me personally, 3D tech never quite works perfectly. I'm not sure if it this way for everyone, but it kind of goes in and out a bit.

But, I still saw Coraline in 3D. And I have to say, the 3D in it is by far the best I've seen in any feature film. Quite a bit better than My Bloody Valentine 3D's, which was the previous 3D film I saw in the theatre.

And the film was quite solid too. My only major complaint is the storyline was a bit too simple. It felt stretched at 90-whatever minutes, could have easily been told in 45-50 minutes. But I love stop motion a lot, the whole look and feel of it, so that's ok by me.
 
I thought the film was beautifully made and the 3D absolutely perfect. The story took a little too long to get interesting for me, and Coraline was too conveniently bailed out of a jam one too many times, but the last 1/3 was pretty solid. I don't know how those animators have the patience to do that stuff. Live action production can be tedious enough.
 
Was this true Stop Motion? or was it like the wallace and grommit films (great films) where it was all done CGI to make look like Stop Motion?

And, I believe, a few of the more difficult scenes in "Were-Rabbit" may have been CGI as well.

If I recall correctly, computer assistance was used in the sequence where rabbits are blown out of the vacuum - they're still plasticine animations, but the animation of them actually flying up into the sky was done digitally.

From what I've read in Coraline, it's 100% done by hand. Which is always astonishing in stop motion, but especially so in something as complex as the dancing mice sequence.
