All I can say is...Wow.
Visually stunning, some of the finest animation in a stop motion/CG combination and the art direction was amazing. Amazing.
I only came away from the film with one quibble, and it's a minor one. Why was the character of Wybie even in there? One of the things I liked about the book was that Coraline was tough enough to get herself out of all the predicaments she found herself in. In the movie, in two separate instances, she was saved by Wybie.
But it's minor when held up to the rest of the movie, which was a pretty fair adaption of the book, and I really liked how decidedly creepy it got once the "Other Mother" was revealed for what she was.
Ooooh. Just saying "Other Mother" gives me goosebumps.
