The History of Henry Selick - Animation Lookback: The Best of Stop Motion 

Henry needs more love, seriously

Coraline is my favorite movie of all time, hands down, I love it to bits

Henry Selick is so underrated! :( He's such an amazing man. I wish he was as popular as Tim Burton.

I do think Roald Dahl would have liked “James and the Giant Peach”. The reason he didn’t like “Willy Wonka” was because it was too light and magical compared to the intended darker feeling of the story, not because he thought it was a bad film. Both Tim Burton’s “James” and “Charlie” films have the feel that Dahl originally would have wanted, so he probably would have liked both.

I was 9 when I saw Coraline. Needless to say, I didn't sleep well after I saw it.

Coraline is one of my absolute favorite movies

I feel bad for the guy who played James in "James and the giant peach" got bit by a spider and never acted again that's just said though 😅

Someone needs to make a remake of Monkeybone with Nicholas Cage, Ben Stiller, Christopher Walken, and a Stephen King cameo in it. That would be awesome!

Coaline is my favorite Stop Motion film. Oh and it came out on birthday so, guess what I begged my mom to take me to see on opening day.

I was always a little miffed that the Aunts survived in the movie. I remember cheering in class when they got squished to death in the book lol

Wow, I had no idea Tim Burton didn't direct A Nightmare Before Christmas. Great video.

Coraline is certainly one of my favorite films, both for its darkness but also it's emotion and whimsical moments. (Not sure which part unnerves me the most though. ^^; ) The book is also a fun read. :)

How many people knew that Jack Skelleington and Monkeybone had cameos in Coraline before reading this comment?

Henry Selick actually directed Nightmare Before Christmas and has become one of the most prolific animators out there, whereas Tim Burton took credit for everything and has now become a sad parody of himself

Here's something about PEach that AniMAt forgot to mention. The writers of the film were Jonathan Roberts (one of the writers of "The Lion King", Karey Kirkpatrick, writer of several other children's films like "Chicken Run", "Over the Hedge", Charlotte's Web" and "The Spiderwick Chronicles", and STeve Bloom, who wrote a film with Jonathan Roberts called "Sure Things" but nothing exceptionally remembered today .

Disney is going down a dark road in animation right now. It's a shame they cancelled the production of the shadow king.

Coralline is actually one of my favorite animated movies!

Oh my god, 'Lissy Dahl' was Roald Dahl's wife. In Matilda, she rescues a doll from Ms Trunchbull's house that she calls 'Lissy Doll'. There is no way that is coincidence.

I always thought I was super smart for realizing jack in the pirate seen now I feel ridiculous for not noticing Donald in the exact same scene

I just noticed that the other father have Monkeybone slippers. Nice!

storyteller is the definitive, authoritative biography of roald Dahl.

I LOVE "James and the Giant Peach"!

"There Might be Giants" hurt me.

Coraline scared me as a kid. Now, it's one of my favorite movies.

I'm still waiting for the Rankin and Bass Specials video XD I hope that's counted as stop-motion

Am I seriously the only one who was never scared of the button eyes from Coraline? Yeah it's one of my favorite films but everyone I knew thought it was the scariest thing ever.

This was a great video to introduce me to Selick, thanks Mat!

I was 18 (pretty much when it came out as well) when I saw Coraline and it still freaked the living shit out of me! (still does) OMG, Selick worked on Pete's Dragon and The Fox and the Hound? Soo Dahl never even liked the movie version of Danny, Champion of the World? That is probably one of my favourite films ever, not just a Dahl adaptation.

Animat 2 things 1. Ty for this list i hope we all get to see more of selick's work. 2. You realized that the reason why he didn't like willy wonka and the chocolate factory ( and this can be justified) is because that made huge changes to the book without his permission i understand if you and other people love that movie but it wasn't faithful to the book heck they changed the name because of the Vietnam War. P.s animat please don't take this the wrong way as a reader most movies based on books can't capture the heart of the book some even insult the author and fans of the book, but as a movie it's a fun family film if you made a book or even a movie and somebody takes it and changed it too the point where they ruin the meaning of why it made it so great I'm sure you be very angry like roald dahl too. My bad if its too long and preachy.

thank you for the comprehensive look into the works of Selick. A major talent.

Coraline will forever be my childhood and my favorite stop motion movie EVER.

I now NEED to see the Shadow King!

I was right! That song in Coraline was sung by They Might Be Giants! HA HA

he's one of my favorite animators of all time

I'm sure Jack Skellington's role as a pirate captain in James and the Giant Peach is a cameo.

Bro these videos are fantastic. They're so in depth and well put together. You rock.

When I 1st saw Coraline, I was Scared out of My Pants!

I was seven when James and the Giant Peach was released at the cinema. My birthday is on the twelfth of April....so I share my birthday with this movie.

Always had a love for stop animation of all film mediums

"He still owns the rights to The Shadow King, and who knows? As you're watching this right now, he might've actually made the movie." Me, in 2020, still waiting for anything: ;-;

I love that Jack cameo, for reasons, see the NC review

Monkey bone definitely feels like a Nicolas cage movie.

I ❤️❤️👍🏻 Coraline!

Its sad that the shadow king and the graveyard book films still didn't come out.

great lookback dude :)

Did Jack Skellington had a cameo in James and the Giant Peach?

I want a Coraline sequel now!

Glad to see that Selick is back to doing Stop motion 👍🏻

9:04 darktown was about almost the same thing a guy in a coma puppeteer trapped in a world of puppets where he himself is transformed into a puppet and his wife threatens to him off life support so he must get back to his body and death tells him how and he is caught by a chess knight it is a cliffhanger there but it just ends there and to this day the writer did not write another issue

Hey this was pretty awesome! I'm going into a school of animation so this was really nice to watch!

this guys melody of speech..the way it starts and peaks in falsetto and then immediately death drops back into a usual register - it's fascinating, sorta like a backwards Norwegian... it's all I can think about right now

Nightmare before Christmas is directed by Henry Selick... The story is Tim's, but the production is thanks to Henry. I noticed this was accounted for by the end, but the intro suggested otherwise.

Now I really want to see a movie of the graveyard book

I just saw MonkeyBone since the way you described it made the film sound neat, am I suppose to feel like I lost my mind after seeing it.

wow. a spider ended his career. damn. if only the spider didn't bite him he'd probably be a star now

15:32 really, because in Wallace and Gormat curse of the were rabbit Wallace had a morphing scene.

I enjoyed everything about this video until the part where you mention his work was halted! I want to see so much a movie by him of The Graveyard Book! I don't feel bad for him, he is a genius! I feel bad for me and not having the chance to see that movie! His work is wonderful!

I loved Monkey Bone when I was like 12.

F in the chat for Shadow King

Honestly they should've kept the designs from the book illustrator Quentin Blake for the James and the giant peach movie

See, one of the reasons Roald didn't like the '71 adaptation is probably because until he had written a lot for the movie he was unaware that David Seltzer had been brought in on the project.

That year in 2001, it was either Monkeybone or Spirited Away.

Stop motion is pure evil. Whoever get the reference, you get one cookie!

The completely funny thing about Roald Dahl hating Willy Wonka is that he wrote it.

No love for Slow Bob in the Lower Dimensions? I'm totally in love with that film. Whatever flaws there are, it's a beautifully unique little world he created.

What What?! WHAT?!! 3:10

Soooooo...... I've seen MonkeyBone for the first time a few days ago..... Am I the only one who kinda likes the film? If not, I am ready for whatever words you have to throw at me.

Nice review, Im watching the whole series and is fascinating, thank you

You do know that Roald Dahl was behind 'You only Live twice', the famous James Bond film adaptation.

I want a The Graveyard Book movie to actually happen

I would love to see an animation look back on Rankin/Bass

ANDY PARTRIDGE? OMG I'M RELATED TO HIM!!!!!!!!!!

I remember seeing Coraline as a kid. It was freaky but I still liked it, unfortunately it really freaked my Mum out and she forbid me from seeing it until I was 12. 16 now and I still love the movie.

Henry Selick is the director of the series Inner Workings on Lionsgate+.

yes! finally doing coraline! i LOVE that movie! please do a review on it

8:47 Makes scene because they are both Monkeybone and Conker are orange.

I don't who did ParaNorman but i believe that's a great stop motion movie, and I also have to mention that I love Coraline 2nd favorite stop motion movie next to Nightmare Before Christmas

I'm I the only one who actually prefers Henry Selick to Tim Burton?

Spiders are the devil's creation I tell you.

Not to be rude, but you remind me of Barry Goldberg

I love James & The Giant Peach. It's so good.

Fun fact: the money that is on other father shoes kinda look similar to monkeybone

Is no one gonna talk about how he said "There Might Be Giants" instead of "They" at 13:00?

I came here for coraline

wait wait this guy also did fantastic mr. fox

coraine has been my favorite movie sines it came out when i was 7

I love Coraline! It's my fave laika movie

Feel like I'm the only person not terrified because of Coraline

I get why Roald Dahl didn't like movie adaptions as I am very unforgiving when it comes to adapting books to movies (Don't hate me but I'm not a big fan of the later Harry Potter movies because they changed so much, also fun fact the writers room was biased as the guy in charge of the scripts' favourite character was Hermione and he gave a lot of Harry's smart ideas to Hermione)

Oh my God, i learned that Coraline was about to be a musical. Thanks God! Thanks God! THANKS GOD!!! That that didn't happened.

Bern looking forward to this for a long time

wow he looks at fucking peach, i got the Damn joke.

i was 3 when i watched coraline and i thought i had had another mother and was very scared that she would keep me forever

2001 was a weird year for theatrical releases basically for another film like Osmosis Jones

I will never forgive Disney for doing this, 17:15 to 17:29 - cinder bite would have been a wonderful division at Pixar in releasing those films under touch stone pictures

Not THERE might be giants, THEY might be giants. I'm a great fan of them; you should check them out.

Personally, I didn't even like Willy Wonka when I was a kid. My reasons why are too many to list.

One question I have about James and the Giant Peach is how these characters breathe underwater in the sunken ship scene.
