" Points: 6 Chosen by: Geralt (6) Previous rank: IMDB top 250 rank: "

"16.12. I love the story and the atmosphere, but I think the film is 10-15 minutes too long and there's at least one character they could've just left out."

" "Why does she want me?" "She wants something to love, I think. Something that isn't her. Or, maybe she'd just love something to eat." Directed by Henry Selick Written by Henry Selick Music by Bruno Coulais Cinematography by Pete Kozachik Editing by Christopher Murrie-Green and Ronald Sanders"
Wonderfully atmospheric with exquisite visuals
“Adapted from Neil Gaimon's book, comes Coraline, a truly wonderful animated film with lots going for it. The atmosphere was wonderful, people may find it too dark, but I for one loved how dark it was. And of course the visuals are absolutely exquisite, I loved the backgrounds, character designs and the darkly bold colours. The music is nice and quirky while having an appropriate atmosphere, while the script is intelligent and well balanced and the story is well paced and compelling with very few dull moments. The characters are great, I love Coraline especially because she is very inquisitive, and I like that in a protagonist, and the voice acting is superb especially from Dakota Fanning and Keith David. Overall, loved the atmosphere, loved the visuals, loved the flick. 9/10 Bethany Cox” read more
