November 13, 2009Very interesting film. Beautiful, colorful art for sure. Very creative story that kind of wraps you into both worlds.

November 3, 2009This is probably due more stars but being an adult watching a childrens movie I liked it but like other films more.
-
October 18, 2009Pitch perfect animation with gorgeous visuals and a nice sense of the macabre, which you would expect from Selick. 'Nightmare before Christmas' fans will not be disappointed.

November 20, 2009I had pretty high expectations for this movie, without really knowing what to expect.So I was kinda taken by surprise by the story. It was different, but a nice experience though. Watching it in 3D made it even a bit nicer :)

November 19, 2009Loved it. Cannot wait until it's released on DVD here. A bit creepy for young kids in my opinion (wouldnt let 6 year old watch it but 9 year old loved it also). Fantastic.

November 17, 2009The fine line between dreams and reality has been Neil Gaiman's signature obsession on paper for sometime, and I believe stop-motion master Henry Selick (JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH) has brought one of the author's best stories to the screen with his dark adaptation of CORALINE.

Coraline is a plucky heroine, and director Selig's imagination is indisputable. But the story falters in parts, and its dark tone could be off-putting for children. full review

Nearly everything in Coraline has been painstakingly handmade. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
A labor of love in every frame. full review

Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle
It is a sumptuous visual feast and a perfectly enchanting story. full review

A.O. Scott, The New York Times
Coraline lingers in an atmosphere that is creepy, wonderfully strange and full of feeling. full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
It's not just the 3-D glasses that add an extra dimension to the horror and hilarity of Coraline. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
I admire the film mostly because it is good to look at. full review

Armond White, The New York Press
An animated film that might be too good for children. It arrives in time to expose the atrocious Wall-E. full review

David Edelstein, New York Magazine
[Director] Selick has a great fantasy filmmaker's artistry, but he lacks that overflowing Geppetto-esque love that brings puppets to life. In Coraline, he's woozy with his own lyricism. full review

March 18, 2009To everyone who keeps mistaking this movie for Tim Buron...

February 9, 2009The movie was absolutely amazing! It kinda felt like it started about 20 minutes into the movie where she just starts searching for some secret well that there was no lead up to but that is no matter since you are so overwhelmed by the sights and sounds and interesting characters right from the get go. I loved it a recommend it to any stop motion fans.
