CAROLINE REVIEW

             In the movie Coraline directed by Henry Selick is a good movie. The actor who plays Coraline is Dakota Fanning. The setting is Oregon's rural country. The genre is an animated kids show. The movie is based on a book written by Neil Gaiman about a girl named Coraline who wants excitement in her life.

             First Coraline finds  a secret door in her house. Coraline is then given a doll that looks exactly like her. After Coraline goes to bed a mouse appears and Coraline follows the mouse. She follows the mouse to the secret door and then she goes into the door. When she enters the door she is transported to a parallel universe that is completely set up for her by her "Other Mother", played by Teri Hatcher. After a while of going to the perfect world, the "Other Mother" wants to sew buttons in Coraline's eyes so she can stay forever. Coraline refuses and as revenge the "Other Mother" takes Coraline's parents. Coraline goes back so she can save her parents. While in the portal Coraline is warned by a cat, voice of Robert Bailey Jr.. that the "Other Mother" is tricky. When Coraline gets there she offers to play a game with the "Other Mother" to free the ghost and save her parents. Coraline wins the Game and all is safe.

             One aspect of film making is ht wardrobe. In animated films a character will have multiple outfits they will wear throughout the movie. the fashion designers in this movie had to make the cloths look real by making creases and folds; just like a real piece of clothing. It takes time and effort to make one outfit for Coraline can wear that would look real.
     

             Another important part in film making is the setting. If the setting in a movie isn't just right the whole scene or movie could be ruined. In Coraline the background had to be just right so it would capture the mood of the movie and what time of year it was. If that wasn't what the director wanted it to look like then the whole process stops and they have to create a background that fits the directors vision.


             Overall I thought the movie was good. However i wouldn't show this to a four year old. In my opinion the movie seemed unrealistic due to the fact that the "Other Mother" turns in to a monster. I liked the actors and how the movie was set up.
