Read the book and graphic novel, now see the film
Michelle Griffin* in The Age sees Coraline, out soon sees Neil Gaiman’s Coraline , out now as an animated film, as a story for parents as much as for young people.
I don’t think anything will replace the experience of reading this haunting little novel. Which makes me wonder, when will cinema start doing its own research and development?
*Disclosure: Michelle Griffin in married a member of the CYL staff.
Next week, our Bookgig on the Road takes off for regional Victoria. Illustrator Heath McKenzie and three talented actors will be doing shows from Murrayville to the Dandenongs over the next fortnight, exploring the world of pictures told in stories. Thanks very much to our friends at arts2go, Regional Arts Vcitoria’s schools touring program.
