Two new videos have surfaced for Coraline on YouTube. One is a short web spot and the other is a new HD trailer.
Coraline tells the tale of a little girl named Coraline, who discovers a type of portal to a parallel world. The world is very much like her own, but everything is much more happy and fun and her parents seem to be extra nice. Unfortunately, her great, new parents have black buttons for eyes, which seems to be a kind of prerequisite to living in that world — one which Coraline must adhere to in order to stay there. This starts the discovery of this seemingly great new world’s deep, dark secrets.
The web spot is just a very short new clip to take a peek at. It doesn’t show a whole lot, but it’s well-worth watching if you’re a fan of stop-motion. The new HD trailer is probably the best trailer released yet: it gives a good idea of the story and an even better look at the world that’s been created here.
Continue on to watch the videos!
Coraline is based on the novel from Neil Gaiman and directed by Henry Selick, who’s best known for his stop-motion classic, The Nightmare Before Christmas. It stars the voices of Dakota Fanning, Ian McShane, Teri Hatcher and Keith David.
