Halloween Movie : Coraline

" Hush & shush, for the bedlam might be listening. "

Coraline is a 2009 animated movie based on Neil Gaiman's Novelette of the same name. Coraline Jones-a blue haired,yellow coat & boots wearing girl, moves to Pink Palace Apartments. She is bored & isn't happy about the move. To top that off her parents are always busy with no time for her. She wanders off one day & meets a boy named Wybie who gives her a doll that strangely looks a lot like her. She pays no heed & discovers a small door in her living room. The door opens every night into a colorful passage to Other World, where she meets her Other parents. They are perfect-they give her attention, they cook her delicious food, they garden, but they have buttons for eyes. Despite being warned by Wybie's cat,she visits the Other World every night. Soon her Other Parents invite her to stay with them forever & she considers it-until she is told she must have buttons sewn on her eyes.

Coraline is a great movie with an excellent story-line. Exquisite attention to detail in the animation makes it all the more enjoyable. It is full of dark humor & has a Tim Burton feel to it. The movie is spooky, horrifying,dark, yet colorful & wonderful at the same time.
