On a whim, I saw Coraline on Monday. Well, actually not a whim, but rather I had heard the filmmaker on NPR and was inspired to go.
I don't think it has been advertised very well, but the show was sold out!
Honestly, it must have been my first 3-D film ever. Go for the animation alone. It's that very labor-intensive stop-animation stuff, so imaginative. The story, well, it's less Alice in Wonderland, and more cliché-evil-engulfing-mother-be-careful-what-you-wish-for.
