I admit, I was originally a little skeptical of the new movie, given that I usually dislike Tim Burton. And while that comment alone usually elicits a ridiculous amount of groans, moans, and death threats, I just can't seem to like him. He butchered Charlie and the Chocolate factory (I also hate Johnny Depp, which causes more bad news my way), Edward scissorhands was too whiney for me, and The Night Before Christmas? Come on. Maybe what I don't like more is the crowd that usually idolizes him. The "I'm so creepy and weird and no one understands me wanna be goth wanna be emo wanna fit it but don't fit in so I say I'm deep cause weird and creepy means deep" crowd. Anything Tim Burton is practically produced JUST to make it into a million Hot Topic products... Shoelaces, stickers, lunch boxes, hair clips, even hair dye. Seriously, straight to Hot Topic.
But that aside, this picture that I found via DesignSponge, allows me to appreciate it more. Possibly makes me NOT dread the movie (cause we all know even with my complaining and hatred of Burton I would have gone to see it in theaters anyway). This and all the "press packages" they've been sending to anyone who is anyone in the online blogging community (ie, not me). I got a first glimpse of them from NotCot.
They're super cool:

You'll be happy camper then, because this isn't a Tim Burton movie. =D
Come to think of it, he didn't really have much to do with Nightmare B4 Christmas either (also a Henry Selick movie, just like Coraline). Burton put together a rough concept and doodled some scarry-looking character designs for that one but his biggest contribution was sticking his fat stupid name in front of the title like he made it all himself. He got to enjoy everything but the painstaking years of actual production, you see. Lucky guy. (Haha, sorry. If you can't tell that I loathe Tim Burton I probably haven't done a very good job here).
But yeah, Henry Selick is the one you can blame if Coraline rox ur sox. He's an awesome stop-motion director. Nightmare Before Christmas, James and the Giant Peach, Monkeybone...
Oh man, I can't wait for Friday!
Happy Valentine!
