Henry Selick
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Henry Selick (1952 - ), is an American stop motion animation director who directed both The Nightmare Before Christmas, and James and the Giant Peach. He studied at the Experimental Animation Program at California Institute of the Arts, where he was mentored under Jules Engel.
There was a lot of friction between Tim Burton and Selick regarding The Nightmare Before Christmas; Selick felt that he was not adequately consulted during the film's creation.
Selick also directed the film Monkeybone and developed the stop-motion animation for The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. He is currently working for Laika Entertainment House where he is preparing an animated version of Neil Gaiman's Coraline.
