Coraline | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

With Coraline returning to theaters, I'd like to make the case for a whole new generation of kids being taken to experience its traumatic delights.

I won’t go as far as to say Coraline doesn’t deserve the praise it gets to this day. I just don’t gel too much with the substance beneath the style, or at least how that substance is conveyed to us.

Fear is an integral part of childhood development, so if you have children, show them Coraline and expose them to imagination and the possibility of dreams and all the frightening aspects therein.

Think Dr. Seuss by way of Edward Gorey, all executed with the creative flair and painstaking detail that Henry Selick brought to 'The Nightmare Before Christmas.'

Coraline is a stop-motion masterpiece.
