Other Mother |
The movie is centered on Coraline and her relationship with her mother and father. Her parents are always busy and never have time for her. Her parents are always focused on their jobs. One day, the neighbor, Wybie, gives Coraline a doll of his grandmother’s that looks identical to Coraline. This starts a series of events that cannot be stopped. One night, she is awoken by a mouse that she then follows into a small door and enters into a new world. There she finds happiness with her “Other Parents” that treat her well.
This new found happiness only lasts so long, however. Her new parents don’t want her to leave. They want her to stay with them forever. When she refuses, the other mother transforms into a monster and Coraline narrowly escapes. Upon reentering the real world, Coraline discovers that her parents are gone. They have been kidnapped by the other mother and are being held in the other realm. She returns to the other world and challenges the other mother to a game where if she can find her parents and save them, she must let them go.

Coraline and Wybie |
As a whole, this movie was a solid two and a half stars out of five. The stop motion animation was excellent, the voice acting was good, but the story itself was so-so. The movie was adopted from a novel but does not hold true to the book. Whole scenes and even characters have been added. The story was intense for younger viewers so one with young children may not want to see it. All things considered, the movie wasn’t half bad.
The background on the movie was explained in detail. There was no information on stop-animation. The links and pics were good. The movie summary was clear an easy to follow. The grammar was good with no mistakes.

Your opening sentence didn't really catch my attention wanting to read on. The background was good though! There was little to no grammatical error. I liked how you added captions to your pictures! I like the flow of your review, it was REALLY good.

you could have used a little more background in you article. you did not introduce some of the characters you take about like wyborn. you didnt explain anything about the door where it was located the fact that it was hidden anything. the use of links and pictures was very appealing to me. you personal opinion was stated nicely, well done !
