Written and directed by Henry Selick, CORALINE (2009) was honored in the year of its release with an AFI AWARD in 2009, recognizing it as one of the art form’s most outstanding achievements. According to the official rationale, “CORALINE is a heart-stopping, stop-motion nightmare for the child lost in all of us. Written and directed by Henry Selick, this haunting new creation is a needle-sharp display of animated filmmaking — literate, subtle and sophisticated. The film is a daring marriage of darkness and light, where a young girl’s dream world takes her to a place where childhood is seen through a new and unique set of eyes.”
