Coraline

okay, I am genuinely surprised I haven’t seen this. I thought I had but after watching it, there’s so much which was new to me so I think I’ve only seen clips.  First off, this is a clear 5 star just based on the fact it’s stop motion, such a brilliant form of animation which I am a big fan of. It’s done so incredibly well and you can tell there is so much effort put into every frame. It’s crazy to think that every single piece of this film was hand made. Incredible, it’s art.  I love the character design, it’s so well done especially for the other mother and father. I felt so bad for the other father, the poor dude seemed to actually care for Coraline and he got turned into a pumpkin. I also really loved how Wybie was built even tho his neck has got to hurt. The visuals in this film were fantastic, genuinely cannot get over them. Such a pretty film, really pleasing.  The soundtrack was fantastic, especially that little motif which played, even though I hadn’t seen the film, I instantly recognised it.  The voice acting was great, I cannot see anyone else being the voice of the cat other than Keith David, he is literally in everything.  The whole film was genuinely fantastic, you can tell how much care went into it. The story was great too, it’s not like it’s just a visually pleasing film or that it’s great because of how it’s made. It’s just great all round.  The film was also so much creepier than I ever would’ve expected. I watched a lot of the film like this “😦”. It’s such an interesting concept and done so well, I haven’t seen it yet but it reminds me of Jordan Peeles film ‘Us’ I may be completely wrong but from what I know of that film, it seems similar. Henry Selick clearly knows what he is doing. That opening was also really freaky. The whole film was just unnerving at times. I loved Wybie and felt so bad for other Wybie.  I also lowkey cried when Coraline got into bed and made her parents out of pillows. That scene was so sad bro. :( Man this film was genuinely great. I could just sit and yap about it, especially about the stop motion, like I’ve done stop motion before and it’s HARD.  The other mother was also so creepy but lowkey fine.. 😛  Amazing film, Chloe told me I HAD to watch it as it’s her birthday so happy birthday Chloe, this is my present. Man genuinely so good.
