Plot
As the only child of two writers, Coraline must find adventure in her life on her own. Of course, she never thought she'd find a door to a parallel world that has an Other Mother, Other Father and Other everyone. It is a world of wonder and awe, but it isn't all that it seems. Everyone else in this parallel world have buttons for eyes and Other Mother wants her to have them too. Can she be a normal non-button-eyed girl in this parallel world and have fun, or will her Other Mother get jealous of her real life? Would life as a button-eyed girl be okay or is there a more sinister plot behind even that? Is there a balance between crazy and real?
Rating Criteria
0/5 – No value whatsoever. Absolute waste of time.
1/5 – Barely worth any time.
2/5 – Pathetic but has a bit of something to hold the attention a little.
3/5 – Somewhat kept the attention but could definitely have used more.
4/5 – Good, but not awe-strikingly amazing. Could have maybe used a bit more to the movie.
5/5 – Go see it! Wonderful movie all around. – characters, music, theme, story line, etc.
3/5 - *SPOILERS*
For being a kids movie, this was rather messed up. It is not intended for very young children. Maybe kids that are in their middle school age, youngest, but not elementary kids. Why? Because Other Mother is a monster: a literal monster named the Beldam. She is absolutely terrible. She is manipulative, treacherous, kidnaps the parents when Coraline refuses to submit to her will for the button eyes, fixes Wybourne by permanently shutting his mouth and then sewing his face into a smile (so that Coraline could be happy around him, because he is a bit obnoxious in the real world honestly), amongst other things.
This has very good imagination and wonderful artistry but it did not hold my attention very well. I liked it but probably will not revisit this.
That is my review! Thank you for reading. More reviews are on the way, so keep an eye out for them.
