Editorial Reviews

A young girl walks through a secret door and discovers a parallel reality that is eerily similar to the life she already knows, yet deeply unsettling in a number of ways, in director Henry Selick's animated adaptation of Neil Gaiman's international best-seller. Eleven-year-old Coraline Jones (voice of Dakota Fanning) is fearlessly courageous, and perhaps far too adventurous for her own good. Coraline and her parents (Teri Hatcher and John Hodgman) have recently relocated to Oregon from Michigan. Bored in her new home since her parents are distracted by work and she has yet to make any new friends, Coraline passes the time by exploring her new neighborhood with an annoying local boy named Wybie Lovat (Robert Bailey Jr.). But after paying a visit to her eccentric neighbors Miss Spink (Jennifer Saunders) and Miss Forcible (Dawn French), a pair of aging British actresses, and crossing paths with the outright weird Mr. Bobinsky (Ian McShane), the precocious young girl becomes convinced that her new surroundings are just as dull as she'd initially suspected. Shortly thereafter, Coraline discovers a hidden door in her new house, and decides to investigate. Venturing into the eerie passageway inside, Coraline emerges into an alternate version of her own reality. At first glance, this strange new world seems even better than the real thing; there her parents aren't distracted by work, and Coraline is always the center of attention. There's even a mysterious Cat (Keith David) that's fascinated by her every move. But when Coraline's button-eyed Other Mother (also Hatcher) attempts to make her stay permanent, the frightened young girl must summon her resourcefulness and bravery in order to find her way back home and save her real family.

September 13, 2009: My rule is to never buy a dvd unless I will be watching it at least 3 times. This dvd more than fulfills that rule. While this story may be scary for very young children, it is very entertaining. There is a fairly short scene with some (cartoon-type) decolletage which I think could have been cut by 30 to 60 seconds. However, I would recommend this dvd for anyone over the age of 6.

I Also Recommend: Corpse Bride, Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi, Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Finally, an animated movie that's not afraid to drift a little bit out of everyone's comfort zoneby Anonymous

September 12, 2009: Coraline , is the first feature length film directed by stop-motion master Henry Selick since James and the Giant peach. The story is based on the original book by Neil Gaiman , which selick had wanted to adapt for years. The book itself has been adapted into a musical and a graphic novel, but the movie seems to hit closest to the soul of Gaiman's original without being a carbon copy. And unlike a lot of animated movies released in america (with the exception of Pixar ) Coraline isn't afraid to delve into real loss and sacrifice , there are moments when it feels very possible Coraline will fail. But she grows from her hardships. She's similar to the character Chihiro from Hayao Miyazaki's Spirited Away , who starts off as whiney and apathetic but is forced to grow up when her life and family is threatened .

On top of a great story with interesting characters Coraline is a stop motion wonder. Through sheer genius and imagination Henry Selick and his team of artist's at Laika have once again brought stop motion , one of the oldest forms of animation , into a higher realm of human fabrication.

Film enthusiasts will love it for that reason alone, the general audience will love it for the magical hour and 40 minute ride the movie takes them on .

Enjoy this great work of art.
