I love Coraline, I watch it over and over again.. it's a gothic movie where adults and children can both enjoy.. it has such layers of meanings to it, in fact that it focuses on a child protagonist and make use of her character, gives the child character a more profound status than the adult characters, it makes you feel sympathetic, empathetic and the feeling of familiarity, childhood memory. You can't help but feel close to it, you know you felt the same way as she did. A better father, mother, friend, house etc. This is a true movie that spells "be careful of what you wish for". The animation is spectacular, love love love the cast line-ups... the movie screams gothic, it is undoubtedly sublime.
