Coraline [2009]

Coraline is an animated flick directed by Henry Selick. Its based on the book written by Neil Gaiman a British author. Its a story of a girl Coraline. When she moves into a new house, her life becomes boring without her friends. Her parents are always busy in their stuff and she feels neglected. Then she finds a hidden door which attracts her interest and she asks her other for the key. Her mother accepting her demand opens the door and they find bricks beside the door. Enthusiastic Coraline loses the mood and return to her usual activities. Its in the night time that she follows the rats and finds the door open and a maze instead of bricks. She enters inside to find a parallel reality or world where she finds her parents too and the same world of her. The difference here is that her parents are very caring and loving and fulfills her every desire. But they have buttons intead of eyes which is not taken into much account by the happy girl. She wakes up to find herself in the same bed and with her real parents. What happens again on night? Does she try to enter the gate again? What do the other parents want? Will she like to stay in the other reality? This is what all the rest movie is about.

Well this movie is certainly different from the rest animated movies. It touches the concept of parallel world. This one is not mere a child entertainer and can be viewed by all fantasy lovers easily. Its not a happy go movie with fun elements and can easily be differentiated within the crowd. I just loved the music theme of Coraline. The music holds the movie well throughout. It builds the mysterious surrounding. Seeing from animation point of view, amazing work is seen in post production. The movie is not at all boring and in fact holds you till the end. A worth watch for all.

My Rating - 8 on 10
