Coraline Trailer Debuts!Wow, this looks amazing. Very Mirrormask-esque — appropriate as both are Neil Gaiman.
Terry Brooks goes “manga.” Labyrinth isn’t the only 80’s fantasy world to get the manga treatment. I read the first Shannara trilogy back in the 5th grade. One time we had this book fair at school where you dress as characters from your favorite book - I wanted to dress as “Alannon.” I don’t think my teacher understood that he was a wizard and not a 12 step program…
Apparently there’s a band named Ludo and they have a new album out today that features a certain hairy namesake on the cover. After sampling on itunes, however, I don’t think I’ll be purchasing their CD (I do kinda want the T-shirt though…).
that does look really good, and since I loved Mirror Mask and Nightmare Before Christmas, it should be quite fun to watch =) my dad likes these kinds of things too, I’ll have to inform him
I, too, sampled Ludo on iTunes and was not too impressed, although their band’s name is rock ‘em sock ‘em. Although the use of the name and the image—although obviously not identical to the original creature—seems to tread on the line between copyright infringement and fair use. Wow, what a book nerd I am.
Coraline looks just lovely. Thanks for posting the trailer.
