Coraline



“Be careful what you wish for.”

Director Henry Selick isn’t known for one of his greatest works; in fact many would not even associate his name with the film, ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’; everyone thinks of another great director Tim Burton. But in fact Henry Selick directed Tim Burton’s ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’ and he did both write and direct ‘Coraline’.

Always looking for adventure! And who can blame young Coraline who’s frustrated with her new home and old house; who knows how many wonderful and exciting treasures there are to uncover!? Coraline voiced by Dakota Fanning, Wybie voiced by Robert Bailey Jr., and parents of Coraline voiced by Teri Hatcher and John Hodgman was a whirlwind of aesthetic animation; from decrepit and decaying darkness to pristine and jovial images! J A wonderful message of ‘the grass is not always greener on the other side’ and about knowing to be a good judge of character.

Beautiful soundtrack and stimulating from beginning to end, even jolting at some moments; a magical and magnificent journey for the entire family! :)
