Coraline: Back home, cats don't talk. So how are you able to...
Cat: I just can.

An adventurous girl finds another world that is a strangely idealized version of her frustrating home, but it has sinister secrets.

Dakota Fanning: Coraline Jones

Coraline is a surreal merging of new and old techniques. Utilizing beautiful stop motion animation and ... read more

"You probably think this world is a dream come true... but you're wrong."

A screen adaptation of the 2002 novella of the same name by Neil Gaiman, Coraline signals Henry Selick's long-overdue return to the realm of stop-motion animation (after The Nightmare Before Christmas and James and the Giant Peach). In an era dominated by computer-animated movies (courtesy of Pixar, Dreamworks... read more

I'm not sure quite what it was about Henry Selick's Coraline, but it feels like an indie animated short film. Perhaps it's the animation, or maybe the off-kilter story, but Coraline has a very home-spun, gutsy feel to it, that very much reminds me of an art-house animated short film. It possesses many of the same qualities, and (like similar short films) does things that "normal" animated films ... read more

“Laika es un estudio particular cuando se trata de las historias que animan. No suele seguir los patrones establecidos a nivel narrativo y temático familiar clásico de Disney. Eso hace que saquen películas medio atípicas, enfocándose en los mensajes por encima del entretenimiento del cual tampoco dejan a un lado. Este enfoque junto su uso del Stop Motion –que a estas alturas de la vida quedó abandonado por su laborioso esfuerzo en producirsele satisfactoriamente- es la razón del poco éxito en taquilla que posee. Una lástima tomando en cuenta su creatividad y ansias de ambición.

Esto es notorio con su título de mayor reconocimiento “Coraline y La Puerta Secreta”. La premisa es sobre una niña aventurera llamada Coraline quien se muda a una serie de departamentos ll” read more

"A nice tale about accepting reality as it is, no matter how ugly It can be. A modern familiar classic. Hope Laika continues making films like this."
