Exclusive: The Art of Coraline with Henry Selick

Now, set against a gallery of stills from the production, Selick takes RT on an exclusive journey into the art of Coraline... "Coraline is kind-of relentless, like animators like me. She's going to get there one way or another and she's not going to be tied in place because her parents won't allow her to do something. She's going to find a way to get to what she wants."
