Who talked about it

Blank Check with Griffin & David

Came from

What the speakers say it drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

Tadahiro Uesugi: 1 line the host's read ×1

  1. lineage (lineage): Tadahiro Uesugi ⇒ Coraline (the host's read). Coraline's look came from the illustrator Tadahiro Uesugi, whose art Selick brought to life.
    “Coraline, we talk about Toddahiro, Use, Uzuki.”

Led to

What the speakers say drew on it, marked the same way.

Wendell and Wild: 1 line the maker said so ×1

  1. unmapped (technique evolution): Coraline ⇒ Wendell and Wild (the maker said so: Selick's own statement). Selick turned against slick 3D-assisted look after Coraline and kept seams visible and embraced artifice in Wendell & Wild.
    “He said Coraline was maybe a little too smooth, and he wanted to go a bit backwards and show off the artifice with this movie.”

Henry Selick: 1 line verdict ×1

  1. verdict (freedom made best film): Coraline → Henry Selick. Coraline was made with Laika hands-off, and it is his best film, so maybe studio notes are not needed.
    “It does seem like he was pretty unfettered, and that is his best film.”

The Nightmare Before Christmas: 1 line verdict ×1

  1. verdict (ranking): Coraline → The Nightmare Before Christmas. Griffin ranks Nightmare over Coraline; both masterpieces, though Coraline is the greater auteur achievement; David flips them.
    “I think I got to give the hair to nightmare over Core a lot.”

Where it came up

What was said about it, by kind

craft (1)

  1. craft (tone): Wendell and Wild → Coraline. The kindness shown to Kat, with quiet sadness, is likened to the boredom sequences in Coraline.
    “it's it's similar to the sort of the boredom sequences and core line where, uh, Everyone's kind to cat.”
