Just recently, me and my fiancee watched “Coraline”, the movie, together. In case you didn’t know – it was directed and written by Henry Selick, a director who worked with Tim Burton on such classics like “Nightmare Before Christmas” or “Corpse Bride”. It is based on a novel by Neil Garman and kept in a surreal, Burton-ish style of animation. The story is basically about a girl who thinks her life sucks, finds a magical door to the Other World made with dolls that look like her parents and friends, except that everything is just too perfect. Until the day that Coraline is asked to put the buttons instead of her eyes to stay forever. She refuses and everything turns into a nightmare. Very scary nightmare.
After watching Coraline, I felt so inspired by the animation and how everything looks in that movie that I decided to do a quick recap of Burton/Selick combo most known animated classics and keep it in case I needed some illustration inspiration. Now, I’m sharing this collection with you, have fun!
Hope you feel inspired now! If you have anything to add or any thoughts about this post – you know what to do. ;)
