That's what i call a GOOD 'ANIMATION'-Movie. Stop-Motion is so full of love for details. But i have to warn the Parents around here: The movie is for little kids at some parts very scary. Anyway. Marvelous,creepy Soundtrack, good english (and german !) Voices. Movie-Score: 9/10 !

I love Coraline! It is suitably creepy and there is no other film quite like it. The animation is beautiful too especially once you get to the more vibrant part of the film (without giving anything away.)

I can watch this movie over and over. This movie is a proof that Tim Burton is not the only one who can make awesome cartoon movies so spooky, magical and creepy. I love this movie and animation was brilliant!

The whimsical paring of Henry Selick and Tim Burton serve up a real winner in "Coraline". The movie is a stop-motion wonder that is stunningly pretty, yet gloomy and sometimes frightening. This really isn't a movie for kids in the sense that kid's movies are categorized today. It's got some real scares, a true sense of danger, and a scary vibe that hearkens back to films like "The Wizard of Oz" and "The Nightmare Before Christmas". The Coraline character is delightfully curious and totally likable. Her facial expressions and voice (Dakota Fanning) reflect a smart girl searching for the ideal family and finding that she has much to be thankful for back home. The evil "Other Mother" is a great villain and looks to be a great cook as well. I didn't expect to be hungry after watching. This is not something that your average Attention-Deficit-Disorder stricken 10-year old is going to sit through. There is as much depth to this story as there is in most adult dramas. There are also some laughs provided by many of the quirky characters and Coraline is a sharp-witted, funny squirt herself. I was amazed by the animation the second time I watched it. I can't get over the little details. Just amazing. I knew going in that "Coraline" would be a visual treat but what I got was a very nuanced story about appreciating the things you already have.

This movie is so good it's unbelievable.I am not a child watching this. I saw this as a 28 year old man for the first time. It's incredible. The characters are all weirdly vibrant and their "other" selves in the opposite world are equally so. This is a movie made of moments and there are so many just great moments. Coraline dealing with her parent's BS, dealing with being bored,the first time we see her smile in the other world listening to her song being sung by her "other" father, the real neighbors and their completely bullshit skills while the parallel neighbors have the real skills whilst being inhuman and unneighborly, her relationship with Whiby and how the other Whiby is such a perversion of what she wishes, the idea of the button eyes, the cat leading her past the end of the world, so fucking many moments that are stunning. Then to climax the film you have this Gaunter O'Dimm esque face off and it's just what fairy tales are made of. This is not a normal movie visually either, I'm not a huge fan of stop motion but they adapt the cartoony qualities in just the right amount to make the impossible feel real and intimidating while also feeling whimsical. It really is hard to explain this movie's tone and that's because it's very complex and multifaceted. The art style for every character is supreme, especially the doll world and Spidermom being as intimidating as she is. The music was ok, I'm not complaining about it but the subtle chanting was fine and I love the "They Might Be Giants" guy singing Coraline's song but a lot of the rest is unfortunately generic. This movie is actually amazing though, surprisingly so! Oh and to top it all off... Coraline herself is an absolutely amazing character with incredible voice acting
