How far movies have come I grew up on Wallace and Grommit and now we've arrived at the some of the greatest stop motion movies😭 Coraline is such a unique story and Selick did it justice 👌🏼

A really enjoyable movie. The story is compelling and the villain(s) are threatening. Some of my favorite aspects of this film are animation, acting, characters, character development, and mood building. This movie isn't anything too terrifying, but if your child, (or yourself) are frightened there are scenes and imagines that are quite scary for an animated film. Definitely worth a watch.

Everyone reviewing the game as the movie. Take a look at the screenshots people 🤣

A game based on a movie based on a book. For a handheld console, no less. Usually a recipe for a disaster.

And yet at first it doesn't feel that way. The graphics are pretty pleasant and the soundtrack is nice. The game occasionally even references the book, which is a welcome surprise. The retelling of the plot is pretty coherent and there are no missing details. So, as a retelling of the movie, it's a great one. But as a game... Coraline for NDS is a point-and-click adventure, a very boring one at that. You barely get to interact with anything and most of your time will be spent going in circles across locations and talking with the very few characters the story has. Occasionally there are minigames, but they are short and mundane. The game has really nothing captivating to offer in terms of gameplay.

And as it turns out, this game is just like a beautiful candy wrapper with no candy inside. If you really want to reexperience the movie, then reading the book would be a much more pleasant and exciting experience.
