The story starts off very drab and scary, not good for animation story. A doll is being cut up by a robot like pair of hands with a scissor. The doll is cut up in pieces, the eyes removed, the stitches around the mouth are removed and the hair is pulled out inch by inch of yarn. Then the stuffing is taken out. A new doll is constructed. To me this is scary for a kid and sadistic for anyone to watch.
The story is bleak and the scenery is like living in a cemetery, a haunted colorless cemetery. Coraline's parents pay no attention to her. They are irritable and working at home as if she is not there and does not count.
At some point Coralline enters another world. It is more colorful, the animation is great. The performance of rats by a man that works for the circus is good. The animation of the characters to music is excellent.
Half way through the movie Coralline goes to a stage show with Whitey one of the characters who mouth is sealed by her second mother. Another bad example for kids. On the stage is a fat woman with jewels on her bare breast, real big bare breast. I found this offensive and did not watch the rest of the video.
I felt it was more for adults and tacky in nature.
The artistic work is great but that is the only good think I can say about it.
