But do we really need the narrator (La Fontain?) reading out all the title cards? Or is it just to help us with the proper pronunciation of peoples names?
Borders Media has an excellent new Coraline trailer that seems inspired by Alfred Hitchcock's trailer for The Birds. In the video, author Neil Gaiman explains Koumpounophobia, the fear of buttons.
This movie looks cool and better yet in my point of view its made with claymation/stop-motion. I am a fan of Stop-motion so this looks good.{Along with the friday the 13th remake}
The TV spots for Coraline have been atmospheric and mysterious. When I first saw the TV spot with that song, I thought, unlike the other Coraline ads, it was energetic and jovial. Then I heard the song online and paid attention to the lyrics...
Making up a song about Coraline.
She's a peach. She's a doll.
She's a pal of mine.
She's as cute as a button
In the eyes of everyone
Who ever laid their eyes on Coraline.
When she comes around exploring,
Mom and I will never, ever make it boring.
Our eyes will be on Coraline.
(As the film's trailer shows, Coraline's "Other Mother," who has buttons on her eyes, wants to sew buttons on Coraline's eyes as well.)
