Last Friday night, Valentine's Day Eve, Matt and I decided to see "Coraline" at the Regal Cinemas at Shoppingtown Mall in DeWitt. Even though it wasn't in 3D and I was soooo much more excited to see it than he was....it was everything I expected it to be!
It was sooo good! I could definitely notice some almost Tim Burton references [edit: I am aware that Tim Burton DID NOT produce this, that is why I put "almost" tim burton references], or maybe the graphic novel creators were inspired him as well. I suppose I should read the graphic novel to better appreciate the movie and the story behind it all.
It was animated exceptionally well, and to top it off (which I noticed right off the bat!) one of my favorite bands, They Might Be Giants, did a small song in the movie as well! They have such a distinct voice and iconic sound, that they added a playful charm to the dark grim fairytale story.
John Flansburgh and John Linnell are wonderful!check them out here: They Might Be Giants
Here is their song in "Coraline."
And here is the trailer:
enjoy!
