I want to see
Coraline. How 'bout you? It's seems like it's got everything. Directed by Henry Selick, Music by They Might Be Giants, Stop-Motion, Based off a great book, it's in 3D; what more could you want? I plan to see it today and when I do I'll post my thoughts. For those who'll beat me to the punch, post your thoughts.

I really want to see this! I heard it was rather creepy though. (For a kids movie at least...)

Woah! Really? Awesome.
Anyway. I just got back from a 3D showing of the film and I have to say... Incredible. The animation was spectacular, the design was fanciful, and the story was entertaining. They changed/added to the story a bit, but it was still good. Coraline is certainly a stretch for chrilden's media (just like the book). I gave it 9 out of 10 stars on imdb (I would have given it 10 if it was a bit more like the book). Go see it.

I read the movie review on
Coraline on pluggedinonline.com. Got to say it sounded pretty weird.

Saw it last evening, in 3D - if you do get a chance to attend a 3D version, pick that. It adds quite a bit in a fairly nongimmick sort of way, unlike a lot of movies which use it.
It was indeed rather creepy, but mostly in a 'I would have loved this movie as a kid, nightmares or not' sort of fashion. Then again, I was a strange kid. Amazing art direction, though.
It's even more impressive if you realize it's at the very least almost all physical stop-motion, rather than CGI rendering.

It's in stop-motion and is supposed to be creepy. Sounds like it's worth a watch.

Since when do I pay attention to them? Although I like to read their reviews, cause alot of the time they are funny.

Whatever floats your boat... I think.
