The teaser trailer for Coraline, the animated stop-motion film written and directed by Henry Selick based on Neil Gaiman‘s 2002 children’s book, was leaked online this weekend (see ‘Coraline’ Teaser Trailer).

Now, Gaiman has posted higher quality versions of the teaser trailer in QuickTime and DivX, which came directly from the animation studio Laika.

In other Gaiman news, Stephen Bissette posted on his blog the cover for Prince of Stories: The Many Worlds of Neil Gaiman, the book he co-wrote with Chris Golden and Hank Wagner.
