Have you heard of this movie Coraline?
Coraline.com

It looks pretty decent.. I liked the Nightmare Before Christmas And James And The Giant Peach. And a forest of Cherry Blossoms made of painted popcorn sounds pretty awesome. What do you think?

It looks like a Tim Burton thing. Kind of creepy.

I read the book as a kid. Doubt i'll actually go and see this though.

it looks cute and it has the same director as the nightmare before x-mas. it's probably something i'll go see if there's nothing else to do.

So coming out in Feburary 09', does anyone know where to find a Coraline DIV layout or someone that will make one? This movie looks to be another cult film as The Nightmare Before Christmas did also. Henry Selick is a great director.

It's nice to see this movie out of production after spending over 2 years on it. So watch the trailers! Also Coraline.com is availible. Its pretty sweet.
What do you think about the movie or your thoughts on it?


P.S. - The attachment is something you can do with your pictures in the "Other Mothers Workshop".

I wanna see this SO BAD. Everytime the trailer comes on, I stop and watch it .

I want to!! It looks really good, with the perfect amount of creepiness.

I wanna seeeeeeee.

yeah it looks awesome. I want to see that so bad :p

I want to see it. It looks cute and fun with a little creepy in it

I've always liked Nightmare Before Christmas, so I might check it out.

I keep saying Caroline and I have to keep correcting myself. It looks interesting, hopefully it will be one of the better Tim Burton films.

cannot wait

Well now that I found out it's going to be presented in "real-D" I'm definitely going to check it out for the technical aspect. I'm hoping "real-D" is something where the depth is actually used for realistic purposes and not just for cheap tricks that pop out at you. 'Cause, that's be awesome to watch movies like that.

i'm definitely gonna see this along with Push and He's Just Not That Into You this weekend. i love it when at least 2 good movies premiere in the same weekend. i'm such a movie goer.

i saw My Bloody Valentine in real-D and it's used for A LOT more than just things to scare you/pop out/jaddajaddajadda.. the entire movie had depth to it and it really made it more enjoyable.

The previews make it look so dumb.... most things Tim Burton makes are horrible.

prime example: The Nightmare Before Christmas

edit: and who can forget the horrid Sweeney Todd

WTFUCK HOW DARE YOU!?!

I can understand your dislike for Sweeney Todd... but The Nightmare Before Christmas? Really?

Ya. I couldn't stand Sweeney..... I hoped I would like The Nightmare Before Christmas, but honestly I think I would have liked it more if I was younger.. I thought it was stupid :/ sorry. It seemed really boring and had like no action.

Hahaha I loved the book when I was younger. 5 years ago I think was when I read it ?! Hahahah.
and when I wikipedia'd it I saw that they were having a film of it coming out in 2009. That was like 239480234 years ago so 2009 seemed like decades.
when I saw the trailer in theatres I was like :O HOLY SHAAAAT I remember this!

Mustseemustseemustsee. Hahah.

judging by your posts, you lack good taste in anything. peace.

lol, i want to see those too.

I will probably watch it sooner or later, but not in theaters or anything. It seems interesting. I heard Tim Burton was making an Alice in Wonderland remake, and Johnny Depp was going to play the mad hatter or something?

oh dang. i didn't know that. i'm not surprised at helena bonham carter being in it though.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1014759/

i've never even seen the original.

What?! Helena Bonham Carter is playing the Red Queen? I always pictured the Red Queen as a fat bitch... but yeah, no surprise that she'd be in yet another Tim Burton film. They make a fantastic team though, so I don't mind.
I totally pictured Willy Wonka when I heard Johnny Depp would be playing the Mad Hatter. Can't wait!

i wanna see this. It's like "alice in wonderland", except not so wonderland.

Ya.. He's been planning to do Alice in Wonderland for years.... I think that will be one of his better films. I can't wait to see that one.

That's why I want to see it. I know that they will make it a creeper, more abstract kind of wonderland. I always loved seeing different interpretations of Alice in Wonderland.

That's awesome. The only movie I've seen in 3D was Beowulf, and I only went because I wanted to see what a 3D movie was all about. That movie ruined it for me. But, I mean, I wasn't expecting much. It is Beowulf. The 3D was, unfortunately, used for cheap tricks, not for any depth type realism.

Alice in Wonderland? Whaaaaaattt? Ok, after an ounce of Seattle's finest, I'm there.

i cannot wait to see that movie.


OMG and friday the 13th, seein that next friday.

:D

i didnt know that Dakota Fanning did the voice of Coraline

I can't wait to see this. Sadly I have to drive a good 30 min to a hour to get to the nearest theater that is showing it.

Only thing I really don't like about this movie is Dakota Fanning, I don't know what it is but I have never liked her.

I'm definitely going to go see this.

Saw it last night! Soo, it was quite enjoyable. The realD made everything look fantastic. It just looked so real! It was nuts. And the movie itself was really neat. I liked it. Cute, but also creepy as hell. =p Haha but yea, twas fun.

I saw it too :D I loved it. Hated the 3D, but it was good nonetheless.

Anybody seen the movie Coraline yet?

I saw it a couple of weeks ago and fell in love. The story is kinda creepy, but exciting and suspenseful at the same time.

I have saved 4 reviews of it: the Chicago Tribune's, the Boston Globe's, Roger Ebert's and a local paper. They all had good things to say about it.

It did! Especially when she went around exploring!


It irked me at some parts, but I wouldn't say I hated it.

Coraline is a great movie. I took my son to see it last weekend, he loved it.
It is really neat because it is made in the CGI animation and stop motion techniques, which makes the colors and characters come alive. Take your kids and family to this one, thanks.

I LOVE DAKOTA FANNING!

it was beautiful ;] though seeing it in 3D was kind of tiresome to the eyes, it was worth it.

I hearthat it's good

I adored Coraline, I always love how Tim Burton's movies always have this bittersweet feeling to them, not quite the happiest, but not quite the saddest. I've always loved his work and this was just a great addition to his collection of movies.

I saw the movie in 3D while slightly high. A+!

The soundtrack weas the best though. First thing I did when I went home was downloading the soundtrack. Yussssss!

tim burton had nothing to do with this film.

I adore this movie.
The book is ever better.
<3

True. But in the commercials for the movie it says "from the director of The Nightmare Before Christmas" so I can see why they assumed.

henry selick gets no love ;[

Ah, don't I feel retarded now, I guess I need to pay closer attention to things ^^;
