Henry Selick's adaptation of Neil Gaiman's Coraline goes ahead

Word over at DreadCentral is that the adpatation of Neil Gaiman's book Coraline got the funding it needed to go ahead with production of a stop motion/CGI film.

Henry Selick [Nightmare Before Christmas, James and the Giant Peach and The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou] is still set to direct which is just awesome.

The funding for the project has been provided by Laika Entertainment who have posted a very cool and small clip of Selick's animated short, Moongirl. If you're not familiar with the mans work you should really check this out!
