Coraline~
 



Okay, so today I watched Coraline on HBO with my cousin.

The book was out last 2002 but the movie was out last 2009.

I first saw the book in a book fair our school held when I was in 5th grade. So when I heard there's a movie coming, I got so excited.
It's a stop motion animation which made me want to watch it more when it came out. I haven't read the book (still planning to) but my friend told me that Wybie was not in the book who was in the movie.

Has anyone of you here seen it? Because obviously I have XD but I still love the movie and I watch it every 5 months.

I absolutely love it. I'm interested to read the book, because Neil Gaiman is awesome in everything that he does. <3 I saw the movie when it first came out in 3D, and I don't think watching it over again will ever compare to that first experience. We need more movies like it.

Such a great movie, it's one of my favorite animated films :)
actually scared me a little to be honest lol
I want to cosplay Coraline <3

I loved that movie but I've never been able to find the book on sale D: I really want to read it some day.

It sounds a little suckish that Wybie isn't in it though lol

Same here, the book was an all time favorite of little kids and until now I'm still looking for a copy of it.
That's why I really want to read the book to know what's the real story without wybie.

I thought it was good but it's not something I'd watch over and over again. I watched it in 3D at home with my sister. I liked it but I did find is was a little dark, in terms of colour. I'd would have prefered to have either more contrast or more light to see more in the picture. I liked the jumping mice and the mysterious, oddball atmosphere around the charactersn like the two old ladies and the mice man. Can't remember his proper name.

I thought the book was much, much better than the movie was.

The book is one of my favorite books. I don't think it translated very well to movie format at all.

They had to add characters, plot elements, etc. and it really stripped away from some of the aspects of the book that I found compelling - especially the "solitary" nature of the main character. Pretty much 90% of the book was Coraline feeling/being cut off from the rest of the world, whether it was because she actually was physically alone or because she felt like no one understood her. She didn't have a best friend (the addition of which in the movie actually angered me), no one in the house really paid attention to her (a running theme was that neighbors couldn't even get her name right) and it all added to the creepy atmosphere of the story when she finally found herself in a world that was all about her.

I don't think it should've been made into a movie. I suppose if you've never read the book, it's an enjoyable film, but for me - as a lover of the book - I thought it was lacking.

Lunaryon 05-17-2011 05:07 PM

Haven't seen the movie, but loved the book. Some of the things that it looks like they added, I'm not so sure about. But I'm willing to try the movie out. Just like how from a canon point of view, the X-men movies were horrid, but taken alone they are wonderful movies.

Chi 05-19-2011 03:19 AM

I didn't read the book so honestly I can't tell if there are any differences.
I enjoyed the movie though because of the 'horror' effect.
It wasn't too scary but I do enjoy horror.

(。◕‿◕。) I saw it and loved it. It was a really cute movie and I
really didn't expect some of the things
that happened in it.

I read the book in elementary school, and I loved it. I enjoyed the movie, but I liked the book a lot better. when I read it, I imagined many neutral colors and creepiness and the like. the movie was...too colorful. it was colorful in a creepy way, but it just felt different than the book did for me.

Nanka 05-20-2011 02:43 PM

I never read the book, but my friend said the book is a lot creepier when you read it and that they edited the movie to become more kid friendly so it isn't as creepy as it should have been.

Batty 05-21-2011 10:40 AM

Whoa... there was a book? xDD; HOW COME I DIDN'T KNOW OF THIS?!

Anywho, I watched it back in 2009, too. IN 3-D. Its such a cute movie.

Hero 05-21-2011 12:20 PM

Thats one of the movies still on my to watch list D:
I'll get around to it sooner or later

Ginger 05-22-2011 04:11 PM

I saw this without knowing there was a book, but I found out when I read the credits during the movie.

I thought it was really cute, while some parts were pretty creepy. I like creepy though so it didn't bug me too much.

Sushi 05-22-2011 05:21 PM

I've never read the book. I didn't even know there was a book. I'm highly intrigued. The movie was odd, but not bad in my opinion. I can see how the literature standpoint could be much better.

Batty 05-22-2011 06:22 PM

Yeahhh! I'm not the only one. <3

Next time I go to Barnes and Noble, I'm going to be looking for it.

Hiccup 05-26-2011 05:02 PM

It's really great, I love the story itself. Not a fan of 3D but my dad assures me the glasses they've made for them take it to a whole other level. They should, since they cost a hundred plus dollars each. The button-eyes still creeps me out though.

taylor_swift_the_last_kay 05-26-2011 05:06 PM

I personaly love this movie!!!!!

Echo-chan713 07-17-2011 07:37 PM

I love that movie, I love basically anything made from Tim Burton, I just watched it about a couple hours ago, I love the details on each cell/scene/characters/etc.

Jezzen 07-19-2011 01:35 PM

I like the movie for the reason that if it had been shot with real life actors, it would have made the scary movie genre. But then, it would be hard to get all the whimsical moments right that only stop motion can do.

As I posted in another thread earlier today, it's not Tim Burton, it's Henry Selick. Sorry, just had to throw that out there. I'm kind of obsessed with Selick's genius and the guy gets screwed so I basically have to shout this from rooftops every time I see TB mentioned...

Echo-chan713 11-03-2011 10:44 AM

sorry, but did have that TB feeling

Bonnie 11-03-2011 12:05 PM

it's ok. i didn't know it either until i randomly looked it up one day and didn't see him as the director. no harm no foul

Wedding Peach 11-10-2011 03:10 AM

I wanted to see the movie, but I never came around to doing so; I may watch it when I get the chance one day.

you can find the movie via torrent

Son of the Devil 12-18-2011 11:11 PM

I saw it in theatres, it was pretty scary for a kid's movie I admit but I enjoyed it nonetheless. These poor 5 years old screamed throughout the ending in terror.

kyOMG 12-19-2011 06:04 PM

I saw the movie, then the book. I loved the movie, it was dark and moody and wonderful, but also had a whimsical effect to it. It reminded me a lot of Pans Labyrinth.

The book scared me to death, though. Whereas the movie just had some creepy elements to it, the book was very, very scary. She was alone a lot, and never had anyone to go to. I stayed up all night and read it. I love it<3

_LOST_ 12-19-2011 10:14 PM

i think another movie exacly like it is comming out!!!!!!
I THINK its called
ParaNorman, Check YOUTUBE

SilverPhoenyx 01-11-2012 12:54 PM



The movie was not as good as I thought it would be.
Still, minus a few garden dances, it is a pretty good flick.



NikkoGallarado 01-11-2012 01:49 PM

I will admit this, I like the movie far better then I did with the book it had. The book made me really unhappy.

katyasha 02-06-2012 10:41 PM

The movie was alright they left out a few things that were in the book.

Avox 02-07-2012 11:03 AM

I never knew it was a book. >.> The movie was incredibly creepy, though. D; I liked it, but it was really weird.

Echo-chan713 02-10-2012 04:50 PM

Was it creepy in a good w au or a bad way

Dawn 02-12-2012 09:09 PM

I never read the book through had seen a copy of it in Wal Mart before the movie came out and flipped through it.

I do love the movie through. I relieved the DVD for Christmas but we caught the movie on HBO so we never opened the DVD. :D

AgentKaz 02-18-2012 11:26 PM

The movie was really cool, and I thought it worked with the book very nicely. The changes worked well, and it was very entertaining and aesthetically pleasing, which are good points in my book.

Adagio 03-30-2012 02:02 AM

I loved coraline a lot ; /// ; and i loved the soundtrack to eheh, i never read the book though but my friends had and have told me it gave them nightmares when they were younger Q 7 Q
