Trailer radar: 'Coraline'

On today's trailer radar we caught "Coraline," the new film from Henry Selick, the director of "The Nightmare Before Christmas." Based on the book by Neil Gaiman, the film centers on a young girl named Coraline, who discovers a secret door in her home that leads to a whole different world.

The cool thing about this project is that it's a stop-motion flick filmed in 3D. Check out the footage after the jump and let me know what you think. I enjoyed what I saw and I'm eager to find out more once the film opens Feb. 6, 2009. Dakota Fanning, Keith David, Teri Hatcher and Ian McShane lend their voices to the film's characters.
