Every now and then, the little kid in me still enjoys watching cartoons and eating cupcakes. So I am planning to see this movie when it comes out soon. And I will give my movie review later.

Update:  Finally got to see Coraline at the movies.  It actually sold out on Friday night and we had to come back the next night.  Lots of little school children and their families came out to see the movie.

I truly enjoyed watching this uniquely made movie.  They give out free 3-D glasses at the door.  The 3-D effect was nauseating at first and it takes  a awhile for my eyes to adjust to it.  I was enjoying the movie, but it gets darker toward the middle and I had to close my eyes.  I think it because my eyes were hurting and I need to rest them a bit.  But this movie was good, the graphics and story was good.  You can also visit their website and give yourself Coraline “button eyes” too.

This will be the first movie project for Laika Animation Studio in Portland, Oregon. The movie was filmed using stop-motion animation. This is where the hands and every other part of the characters (puppets) in the movie are manipulated frame by frame. This is done to achieve movement and expression and to tell a very realistic looking story. I am a big fan of claymation and am looking forward to seeing how this movie will compare. Other features in this movie people will notice is that some theatres (including one near our city) will offer 3-D screenings. Read the rest of this entry »
