So, I'll admit that I haven't gotten around to seeing Coraline yet (even though it's been roundly touted as a great film) because Dakota Fanning and Teri Hatcher are unsettling to me (each in a different way). I did read the book a while back and remember thinking to myself that it would make a great film. Neil Gaiman is an author who can create mood and atmosphere with the best of them. Film.com has a great interview with the man himself about the film and it's creation which is definitely worth a read.
I watched it and really enjoyed it. Especially when in 3D things come towards you, I just wanted to poke them but then I'm sure I would have confirmed my looniness! Don't know if that's even a word yet. I don't consider it the greatest movie of all time but the animation and graphics are well done. There are a few unanswered questions but I guess maybe going deep is not required here. Go watch it!
