Coraline: The Review

      Coraline, the 3D stop motion animated movie, is a must see movie. It features some popular actresses such as DakotaFanning and Terri Hatcher. It’s the perfect Halloween spooking movie for those kids into getting a little creeped out .It may be horrifying even to children. Coraline is based on the book. It tells the story of a girl who goes through obstacles that make her appreciate her parents more.

      Coraline gets trapped in a parallel universe, She was led into this portal by a talking cat in her dreams. This is where she meets her alternative mother and father. She ends up returning night after night back to her "other home". She becomes to adore this world because it is different from hers. Her neighbors are actually interesting and her parents put all they attention is placed on her just like she's been craving. Everything is going right in her dream life. Other mother offers for her to stay forever if she would like, the only down side of this was that she wanted to sew buttons on her eyes to match the ones on her other' family. Coraline gets frightened by even the thought and tries to escape back to her real home.Other mother does't like that idea of Coraline escaping back and traps her in this virtual alternative world and Coraline feels as if she will never return. She goes through a series of obstacles that gets her finally back home and makes her appreciate her family. This movie teaches morals to children to appreciate what they have and don't take things for granted.

     An overview of the content in this movie are violence, sex/nudity, language, alcohol, drugs,  and bad disrespectful behavior.Not much a movie for young children. It shows more young adult type of scenes.

    The detail put into this movie that you see in the behind the scenes footage are pretty much bind blowing. By just changing the expression on the face of the character takes times to making a strand of her hair on her head. They put so much effort into this movie. Without Coraline's signature  blue hair to her vibrant colored clothing. It's bewildering to see all the 

effort.Even hiring special people just to make the small clothing for Coraline and the rest of the   

cast to wear. The scene in Coralines other home when she is outside in the garden that her 

other father had made for was made all by hand. It had to be all specific colors and 

arrangement. It's a breathtaking scene to watch knowing how everything was put together.

        Coraline is defiantly recommended to any age group. I can see it being a classic. I don't 

think movies out lately compare to this one
