Coraline is a stop motion film, which means that the puppets and movements you see in the movie were actually just the objects being manipulated by the animators frame by frame. According to these animators there were 24 frames per second of the movie, so considering the film is 100 minutes long, that's 144,000 frames to be shot to create this movie. It was also mentioned that it took an animator a week to complete 7 seconds of the film, so if one animator were to complete the film all on their own it would take approximately 16.5 years (and that's not counting all the time put into creating the sets and puppets!)SIDE NOTES:
- Coraline is the first stop-motion film shot entirely in 3D
- Coraline is the (at 1:40:00) is the longest stop motion film to date
- the film had the most stages ever deployed for a stop-motion animated feature
- This film marks the first time that a stop-motion animated morphing sequence has ever been accomplished. The sequence runs for 130 frames, or nearly six seconds.
- On the back of the moving van you'll see graffiti on the bottom right corner that reads "StopMo Rulz." StopMo is short for Stop-Motion.
