Neil Gaiman

The Coraline movie masterpiece for kids
The Coraline movie is here! Neil Gaiman's marvellous kid's novel Coraline has been transformed into a completely magical movie overseen by none other than Henry Selick, the man that directed the 1993 cult movie classic stop-motion feature film 'The Nightmare Before Christmas'. If anyone was able to bring Gaiman's weird story of people with Button-eyes in a strange version of our actual world, it is Selick. The visual element of the Coraline movie is a superb example of stop-motion animation, a moviemaking method that can truly be brilliant when done right.
Where the book was of the same weird and wonderful nature that we've come to expect and crave from Neil Gaiman, the look of the Coraline movie took many viewers unawares with its palette of beautiful colours and the method of animation. The Coraline movie is a wonderful thing to view, and will enchant viewers young and old with its weird story and thoroughly entertaining characters.
The acting talent attached to the stop motion adventures of the Coraline movie is extremely special too. Dakota Fanning takes the title role of Coraline herself, and the rest of the cast has a number of British TV stars in the cast, namely Ian McShane, Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders. Teri Hatcher provides the voice of both versions of Coraline's mum. The Coraline movie's sarcastic cat is performed by John Hodgman.
It is rather appropriate that such a deliciously odd novel is adapted in such a manner that it does capture the feel of a dream. Stop-motion has that wonderful otherworldly quality to it that CG is yet to possess. There is something wonderfully odd about stop motion, especially here in the Coraline movie. It may be the knowledge that the moviegoer is watching inanimate objects moving around on a giant screen, or it could just be that the finished sight of a stop-mo movie is so different to most other animated movies of the contemporary scene.
While the Coraline movie is nowhere near as jam-packed with iconic images as The Nightmare Before Christmas, it is certainly not missing it's visual treats. Just look out for the musical parts, the disturbing metamorphoses of the characters, and of course, the chilling buttons that characters have instead of eyes in the strange other universe. Viewers that haven't read the book are in for a real treat as they are introduced to the fantastical universe that Gaiman created, a world that is similar to ours, just better.
For those who are familiar with the book (and it has been enjoyed by just as many grown-ups as children), the Coraline Movie is about as a faithful movie version of the Coraline novel as it's going to get. This is one kid's film that will become a much-loved classic for all ages. The Coraline movie is absolute magic.
