logandenyer17 Coraline is brilliantly animated and while its meant for young audiences it has a dark and deep message. It's an amazing story

mariasangria This movie freaked me out. It scared me to the point that I was mortified for a year. I very much appreciate the animation in the movie, and it might not be as scary to me now, but I wouldn't recommend this movie to extremely young kids.*SPOILER ALERT*And I think by far the scariest part of the movie is that the other mother captures Coraline's mother and father, and also the fact that when a kid comes in and enjoys the world, they wake up in the real world, but when they're afraid of the world, they wake up in the Other World. It was very disturbing and scary that she wanted to harvest the souls of children and eat them.

Pamela Thornton Incredibly creepy and thought provoking this movie is still haunting even after nine years. Although the story of "you already had what you needed" is common in today's world, the list of deep and haunting characters make up for any stereotypical storylines you might have seen. From the wise, sarcastic, scardy cat, to the witch-like, not-so-nice mother there is a myriad of characters to be marvel at. The real hero of the tale is, of course, Coraline and Dakota Fanning. This film was just a hint of Fanning's incredible talent for adventure and suspense. - - If you've been hiding under a rock and haven't seen this movie yet I highly recommend that you check it out. For some parents who might have sensitive children I recommend watching it with them - it's still creeps me out to this day.

blumdeluxe "Coraline" tells the story of a young girl, who moves into an isolated old villa with her busy and non-caring parents, only to find out, that there is a better world awaiting her behind a secret door, where a different set of parents make all her wishes come true. As time passes by, however, this pittoresque picture begins to crack and the more sinister and dark side of her new parents begins to show. Will Coraline be able to escape into reality before it is too late?Before starting the movie I pretty much expected just another animated movie that would deliver an entertaining but not exactly outstanding plot. But soon I noticed that this film is remarkably different from most of the genre. Its tone is set way darker and some of the elements remind more of a horror movie than one for children. I really like that producers were brave enough to try something new and thus show that making films abroad the main paths is still possible. I wouldn't watch it with small children but otherwise I fully recommend it.All in all you can absolutely make nothing wrong with giving this movie a try. However, you should not expect a happy, colorful firework but a serious and sometimes frightening film.
