This movie is so good it's unbelievable.I am not a child watching this. I saw this as a 28 year old man for the first time. It's incredible. The characters are all weirdly vibrant and their "other" selves in the opposite world are equally so. This is a movie made of moments and there are so many just great moments. Coraline dealing with her parent's BS, dealing with being bored,the first time we see her smile in the other world listening to her song being sung by her "other" father, the real neighbors and their completely bullshit skills while the parallel neighbors have the real skills whilst being inhuman and unneighborly, her relationship with Whiby and how the other Whiby is such a perversion of what she wishes, the idea of the button eyes, the cat leading her past the end of the world, so fucking many moments that are stunning. Then to climax the film you have this Gaunter O'Dimm esque face off and it's just what fairy tales are made of.

This is not a normal movie visually either, I'm not a huge fan of stop motion but they adapt the cartoony qualities in just the right amount to make the impossible feel real and intimidating while also feeling whimsical. It really is hard to explain this movie's tone and that's because it's very complex and multifaceted. The art style for every character is supreme, especially the doll world and Spidermom being as intimidating as she is. The music was ok, I'm not complaining about it but the subtle chanting was fine and I love the "They Might Be Giants" guy singing Coraline's song but a lot of the rest is unfortunately generic.
This movie is actually amazing though, surprisingly so!

Oh and to top it all off... Coraline herself is an absolutely amazing character with incredible voice acting
