Fresh and Exciting
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
From the mind of Neil Gaiman comes Coraline, a sweet and beautiful stop motion movie about a little girl who moves into a new home and discovers a secret world on the other side. Featuring an awesome voice cast, this is a simply beautiful film that begs to be watched again and again.
Wow, what a great movie. Great animation. Very scary for a child's movie, but this movie did most things right.
This movie should be PG 13. This is not appropriate for children. The movie is very creepy/scary and uncomfortable for kids. The movie story is ok. And the graphics and animation are well done, but with scared kids it is not appreciated. The rating bureau did no favors rating it PG. It might have had a higher box office if it was not marketed to children and instead went for PG13 teen crowd.
Before I begin my review, I would like to say that just because this is animated, it isn't exactly for little kids. Also I will be revealing some spoilers.Coraline is a masterpiece. Directed by Henry Selick (Nightmare Before Christmas) the film was released in 2009 to positive reviews and was a success. The film's animation is absolutely amazing. Seriously, there is so much attention to detail in this film, and it blew my mind! The character designs are very good as well.The story follows Coraline Jones, an extremely bratty girl who discovers a small door in her new home that leads to a parallel universe. The inhabitants have button eyes to top it off, and if that's not creepy enough, it turns out this amazing world is just a trap.This film is creepy. If you have young kids who are scared easily, please watch it before you show them. It's just a very creepy film, and can be very scary.Overall, I love Coraline and it will remain one of my favorites for a long time.
