Children, the younger they are, they're heathens. They're wild animals. It's much more about instinct. Love is a fierce thing to a child. Separation from mother, you know, fear of death...what is death?

A twisted revamp of Rankin-Bass by way of Edward Gorey.

A stop-motion-animation classic-to-be...both in concept and execution, Coraline is wildly creative stuff.

Doesn't quite click on all levels, and the story and character development feels truncated, but there's still plenty to enjoy about its weird occurrences.
