Character Evaluation
In the animated film "Coraline & the Secret Door", director Henry Selick made many adaptations on the basis of the original novel, which is mainly manifested in a reasonable grasp of elements such as darkness, horror, and grotesque. The director has many choices when adapting a literary work into an animated work. Henry Selick, the director of the movie "Coraline & the Secret Door", chose the form of puppet animation to maximize the performance of its fantasy and thriller characteristics, but also Attract the interest of the audience . Compared with other animation forms, puppet animation uses real lighting and materials, with simple, original, colorful, natural and other special picture effects, which makes the audience have a stronger sense of reality and substitution. At the same time, choosing to add singing and dancing elements strengthened the absurd and bizarre style of the whole movie, which is loyal to the original and higher than the original .
