Loved It!

Rating: 10/10 (3 August 2009)

We weren't quite sure what to expect with Coraline. We knew it would be good since it was a Tim Burton film and we ended up being very pleased with it. It was definitely what you'd expect from Mr. Burton. It had a great mix of humor, dark situations, and overall weirdness. It would be a little too creepy for children who aren't able to distinguish fantasy from reality, so I would recommend it to children 7+.
The film is done in claymation, but it is done so well that after a few minutes, you hardly notice it. Mr. Burton did a wonderful job on all of the characters. He did a great job matching personalities and looks to each of the characters and they are characters that anyone can relate to. The music was absolutely wonderful and quirky and carried you through the scenes. I would love to see this in 3-D. Adults are able to enjoy this just as much as children and I am very pleased with this film. It's original, creative, well-done, and worth a look. Definitely worth a purchase. You'll find yourself wanting to watch this one again.
