Coraline (the movie)
Other Mother(Black buttons)

The horror/fantasy animated film Coraline is a stop motion picture directed by Henry Selick.  Coraline takes place in a what seems very plain and dark area where this little girl name Coraline (voived by Dakota Fanning) and her family decide to move in a new apartment called the pink palace.   Coraline is a spunky 11 year old girl with some vague parents who don’t pay much attention to her because there to preoccupied with their gardening books.  The father (John Hodgman) and Mother ( Teri Hatcher) have no time for Coraline, so she decides to go exploring by herself only to later  find a hidden door . Curiously she goes through the door way with a passage that leads her to an exact replica of her house, so similar she even has an other mother and other father that mirror her real parents but with one major difference, the other parents have black buttons for eyes.  On top of that, these parents actually acknowledge Coraline and feed her lavish meals.  Other mother and Other father want Coraline to stay with them in their world with promising of love and attention. Coraline is very intrigued and captivated but soon Coraline will discover the dark evil behind these buttons of theirs.
            This movie may not be suitable for children lower than the age of 9 for its scary images. Theres a part where other mother reveals her true character which shows a pretty horrific monster. This stop motion picture will defiantly be loved my fans of the night mare before Christmas and if you’re a fan of stop motion picture films, then you will defiantly have great deal of respect for this film.  The dazzling 3D effects pulls you in to their world of magic. Even if you are not a big fan of films similar to”the nightmare before Christmas” like me, the movie will still capture your attention and bring you in to a new world.  I do believe the movie how ever is very dark and rather strange at first, but I gave it sometime and I found myself in love with the characters. This is a must see movie, especially those serious fans or animated horror or stop motion animation.

  1. Has a good overview, but has multiple spelling errors. Well written just needs more detail and background information. Only has two pictures and two links so could use more. Little opinion could use more. Some parts hard to follow and have to re read the sentence to understand fully what the writer is talking about.

  2. I thought that your review didn't have much effort put into it. There were multiple spelling errors and you didn't really follow how the review was supposed to be done. You were supposed to have 5 paragraphs and you only had 2. You included only 2 pictures and 2 links and the requirement was 5 links and 3 pictures. I also thought that you could've gave your opinion more than you did. You did summarize the movie fairly well though.

  3. I think that the summary was pretty accurate. There were multiple grammatical and spelling errors, which made it a little harder to read. Your article lacked the proper movie review format though, as you only had two paragraphs. You also didn't put enough links or pictures in. Some more personal style and opinion would have been nice. It wasn't too bad, but more would have made your article better.
