I saw it in 2D in theaters, it was a pretty spooky and entertaining flick. The visuals were well done and still quite memorable.B

[Noctis]

One of my favorite animated films of all time.

A+

[Travod]

Pretty meh.

[ddddeeee]

Pretty good.

[AniNate]

I'm a huge fan of Henry Selick, and the visuals of this film are worth the price of admission.alone, but the story really isn't all that interesting and Coraline isn't a very likable character. It transitions from a morality tale to this weird video game narrative halfway through and I really wasn't sure what the point of the adventure ultimately was. But again, great visuals make it worth viewing.

Beautiful animation is something I can't resist; the story though wasn't good enough to get an "A" from me. Ok, Gaiman's book is a children- or early teenager horror story, so I expected it not to be that frightening, but the film had definitely some lengths. I also remember that the sound and voice work (which are even more important for animation) weren't that good.Technical POV: Probably the best puppet animation I ever saw. For people interested in this technique an article from the animation world network.

I saw this today, very weird movie, and very spooky! I enjoyed it a lot. 8/10

I enjoyed the hell out of this movie

god god god, the animation with the lights was so fantastic, i almost forget about the story, which was spooky enough i suppose, but the way the animation draws you in to this world is...i don't know. wow.

 

8/10

[Michael Gary Scott]

One of my fav animated movies ever. 5/5

[Hiccup]

One of the best stop-motion animated pictures all time and second behind Up for best animated film of 2009. 

 

9.5/10

[Squaremaster316]

**** out of *****

 

Better vocal work than TNBC.  I do feel that the climax was a bit underwhelming.

[lolifofo]

One of the most extraordinary western animated features. Very enjoyable and creepy.

The visuals in this film are stunning beyond belief.

I do like it a lot. Henry Selick needs to work as often as possible

It is not one of my favorite animated movies, but I do really like it. Love the animation though and the voice work is good too.

I would give it a....

rewatch: the central message is very dumb, but the visuals are all that matter really, and they are pretty great.

 

64/100

[Spidey Freak]

It's pretty fantastic. Not as brilliant as my other favorite Neil Gaiman story adaptation that is Stardust, but the animation is crazy. I have no clue how they pulled off the Other Mother transition in stop motion.

[Goffe]

Creatively indie in style, tiredly mainstream in substance. Story feels like an afterthought, an excuse to create dazzling sequences, really. Still better than most animated films being released today. 65/100
