Coraline is a 3-d movie about a girl whose parents ignore her and are very boring, then she finds her “other mother” and thinks she is exciting and fun but she’s not, she is actually very creepy and evil. And the other mother kidnaps, or should I say adultnaps, Coraline’s parents and Coraline has to try to defeat the other mother to get her parents back. The only special feature was the commentary by the director, Henry Selick, and composer, Bruno Coulais.

The movie is based on the book called Coraline by Neil Gaiman. I reviewed that here. I liked the movie better except for the part where Wybie saves the day. In the book, Coraline does it all by herself.

A super interesting and cool thing about the movie is how small everything is. Here’s a video that shows how tiny:

And here is my favorite creepy trailer for the movie. It’s Neil Gaiman!

Coraline comes out on DVD and Blu-Ray tomorrow, July 21st.

This is Coraline by Neil Gaiman. It is very creepy and scary. We listened to it on the way to Michigan. WARNING: do not give to kids that can get easily scared….and have nightmares…and don’t give it to kids who don’t like scary books. It is a cd that you listen to and also a graphic novel and it’s a regular book too. And it’s going to be a movie in February! The movie might be a little less scary then the cd the book and the graphic novel. Some kids like scary stuff. I don’t like scary stuff. I only like this.
