An animator looks away as stop motion puppets are posed on the set of Coraline.

I already featured Coraline as a source of inspiration here late last year (see previous post), but I am really, really looking forward to it so I’ll mention it again. It’s the first feature film from Laika and the artistic stakes for the company are huge. If you want to see what the fuss is all about, the L.A. Times recently visited the set and have posted a gallery of photographs. You can also watch a clip from Coraline online and search for more Coraline sneak peeks on YouTube.
