If you don’t know why you should be excited about Coraline, then let me give you some research material. On your way home from work tonight, stop by Best Buy and pick up copies of Stardust and The Nightmare Before Christmas. Coraline is the first ever collaboration between Henry Selick and Neil Gaiman, and together they’re working on, as someone seems to do every couple of years, bringing stop-motion animation back.

Our first good look at what they’re up to has arrived. Below we have a behind the scenes look at the film, with a few brief clips from the movie and lots of talking from the voice cast, which includes PC guy John Hodgeman and the baritone voiced Ian McShane. Click play:
