Roger Ebert

This is nightmare fodder for children, however brave, under a certain age. I know kids are exposed to all sorts of horror films via video, but 'Coraline' is disturbing not for gory images but for the story it tells.

The Hollywood Reporter

Just when it appeared adult themes were going to run away with stop-motion animation, up pops Henry Selick's 'Coraline', a charming and first-ever stop-motion feature in 3-D.

Frame by frame, Henry Selick's adaptation of Neil Gaiman's Coraline is entrancing; it's among the most exquisite animated feature films ever made in this country.

WIRED

In the hands and imagination of Selick, art like Vincent Van Gogh's Starry Night and poetry like William Shakespeare's Hamlet soliloquy unfurl into vibrating life in Coraline.
