Have you seen Coraline yet? We hear it's phenomenal. (As anything combing in the talents of Dakota Fanning and Terri Hatcher should be, really.) And if you liked the art featured in the movie, you should check out the original works of art that were used in Henry Selick's film, which are currently on display in SF.

The Cartoon Art Museum is boasting real art work from Coraline for a limited time. Produced by LAIKA, the Portland-based animation studio owned by Nike co-founder and Chairman Philip H. Knight, the new exhibition features drawings, storyboards, puppets, sets, costumes and more from the film, which is the "first ever stop-motion animated film to be shot in 3D." Which is to say, it's in stop-motion animation, so "everything seen on screen actually exists in the real world, as opposed to computer-generated animation."

This exhibit includes around 80 pieces from Coraline, which was created by a team of over 300 artists. For more information on the exhibit, check out cartoonart.org. (Ends Sunday)
