Written by Russ Crandall

Coraline is a stop-motion animated film directed by Henry Selick, the guy that directed The Nightmare Before Christmas and James and the Giant Peach. It's based on a novel written by Neil Gaiman, the guy that wrote the Sandman comic book series. The film centers around a girl named, you betcha, Coraline, and the creepy new house that is the new home for her and her parents.

It was nice to jump into a film geared towards younger audiences and actually be interested the whole time. I had no idea how the film would play out, and it kept me on my toes. The film flows well, it keeps things funny, and it is visually stunning. It sports a darker tone than what I'd expect for a family film, which also made it appealing. Now that I think of it, it reminds me more of Alice in Wonderland than anything. There are some hiccups when it comes to character and plot development, but in hindsight I think this film is definitely worth checking out.
