Coraline

Somehow familiar and without true excitement.

Coraline doesn’t like her new home. She doesn’t particularly like her parents either. And, the neighbor boy stalking her isn’t a friend she would choose. What’s a girl to do with so little... go somewhere much bigger, much more fun, somewhere hidden, secret – but is it safe?

A simple, twisted, tale. Brilliantly animated and decently performed.
