Coraline Jones est une fillette intrépide et douée d'une curiosité sans limites. Ses parents, qui ont tout juste emménagé avec elle dans une étrange maison, n'ont guère de temps à lui consacrer. Pour tromper son ennui, Coraline décide donc de jouer les exploratrices. Ouvrant une porte condamnée, elle pénètre dans un appartement identique au sien... mais où tout est différent. Dans cet Autre Monde, chaque chose lui paraît plus belle, plus colorée et plus attrayante. Son Autre Mère est pleinement disponible, son Autre Père prend la peine de lui mitonner des plats exquis, et même le Chat, si hautain dans la Vraie vie, daigne s'entretenir avec elle. Coraline est bien tentée d'élire domicile dans ce Monde merveilleux, qui répond à toutes ses attentes. Mais le rêve va très vite tourner au cauchemar. Prisonnière de l'Autre Mère, Coraline va devoir déployer des trésors de bravoure, d'imagination et de ténacité pour rentrer chez elle et sauver sa Vraie famille... (Universal International FR)

Je n'ai pas vu beaucoup de films d'animation ces dernières années. Même après tous les éloges dont ont bénéficié Shrek, Le Monde de Nemo et Cars, tout ça ne me disait rien. Je ne crois pas qu’après avoir vu Coraline, je changerai d’avis et rattraperai mon retard. J’ai toujours pensé qu’un conte, qu’il soit animé ou pas, devait contenir une leçon pour tout un chacun. Or, dans le cas de Coraline, on peut se poser des questions. Devait-elle respecter ses parents alors que ceux-ci ne lui accordent aucune attention et ne sont pas fichus de lui consacrer le moindre temps ? C’est normal qu’elle se soit laissée entraîner par la méchante sorcière, tout comme le serait n'importe quel autre enfant à sa place ! Mis à part l'histoire nulle, les visuels sont magnifiques.

The film features an Alice theme, a script for a short at most, and Selick's eccentric fantasizing. After half an hour it simply doesn't do anything and comes ever closer to the desperate cry "Let something start happening, for God's sake!" Ironically, what I enjoyed the most was Dakota, who intones perfectly and literally "acts" in the vocal positions of a nasty brat, a scared little girl, and a brave girl. The rest of it was terrible and didn't even need the assistance of Tim Burton.

A very pleasant island of stop motion imperfection in a sophisticated flood of silicon superhumans. Beautiful animation further enhanced by the 3rd dimension, very poetic decadent drollery and a very nice atmosphere. It's unfortunate that the musical accompaniment does not captivate as much as Elfman's songs once did. Coraline is more infantile than Burton's work and it doesn't have the sharp verbal humor, but despite all the plush, it is able bite nicely. I had a great time. [85%]

Selick’s Caroline, sorry, Coraline lacks one thing. And that is the “button phobia" which, unlike in the book, never sets in. Maybe it’s because I don’t share Selick’s vision as a whole. It’s not nearly dark enough. There’s nobody quite like Dave McKean. This Coraline is an excellent animated movie, but nothing more. But the potential for more was here.

Coraline took me back a few years and made me feel like a kid who loves fairy tales, dolls, and adventure. A powerful and excellent film that is totally unique in its stylization. From my perspective, Coraline swept Alice off the table like a button :-) Brilliant!

One of the most interesting animated films of recent times, which is mainly based on the quality book by Neil Gaiman, currently one of the most interesting creators of alternative worlds. Coraline can satisfy both children, except perhaps the smallest ones, as it contains dark motifs and scary scenes, as well as adults, as it has a very clever story with interesting characters and a significant message, it is filmed dynamically, with a sense for visual art, and it almost deserves five stars. Paradoxically, in my eyes, it is harmed by what current animated blockbuster productions are based on, i.e., typical computer graphics, which makes it lack a certain exclusivity characteristic of classic drawing and animation. Overall impression: 85%.

I made myself watch it and I feel like it's matured a little bit. I don't always let Gaiman get to me. There's still the contrast between genuine horror and pleasingly button-grotesqueness, but it's still great regardless. The stop-motion animation is also incredibly rich and imaginative. So why not?

If you compare Selick's Coraline and Burton's Alice in Wonderland, the winner is clear. The fantastic stop-motion animated Coraline wins. The film is visually almost unbeatable, it offers ten ideas for every minute, the few songs that are played are pleasantly crazy, the music is good, the characters are humorously bizarre... The problem is in the story, which is not uninteresting, but it gets boring at times, especially in the second half. But what the hell, I tell myself, it's a fairy tale. And a good one. Too bad it's not as adult as The Nightmare before Christmas...

I was a bit worried when the film was slower to start and visibly tried to engage my imagination and some of my patience with its story, but after a few minutes the doubts were successfully erased and I became increasingly satisfied with the final form. Sure, it's no Miyazaki, it lacks Danny Elfman's catchy compositions and the story doesn't sound particularly likeable, but there's still the charm, the imaginative idea and the very original execution, which is always the most important thing in animation. The Oscar nomination, in my opinion, is well deserved and pretty much says it all.

At first glance, there were a lot of scenes that reminded me slightly of other films. The well where the key was thrown was reminiscent of The Ring, the metal hand was reminiscent of Freddy Krueger, and as a whole it felt at times like a mix of Alice in Wonderland and the gloomy atmosphere of Corpse Bride. But whatever! I enjoyed it. In terms of running time, it was adequate. The music fit the passages perfectly, and the characters were interesting to the point of bizarre (especially Mr. B and the other mother). I was thinking 4*, but I'll round up because this animated film was indeed my cup of tea, full of colourful bleakness and great moments.

It’s been a while since I last watched an animated film, and I was quite pleasantly surprised by this one. It wasn't exactly a masterpiece worth a five-star rating, but the animation was great. I really enjoyed the dark, almost horror-like atmosphere, which was strongest in the last third, but it had seeped out here and there even earlier. To be honest, the atmosphere could have been even darker. I wonder what the film would look like if it had been directed by Tim Burton. I'm sure it would be right up his alley. Either way, the story kept me entertained, and it did give me a chill from time to time. If you want to give your kids a good scare, make a little fake door in the wall, have your kids watch this film, and have a lot of fun while consoling them from their nightmares. Coraline definitely ranks among the better animated films, and I'm not opposed to rewatching it sometime. I'm glad to see that filmmakers are still making nightmare fodder for kids. / Lesson learned: It can always get a little worse.

This type of animation simply isn't seen very often anymore. I'm also glad that Henry Selick chose this slim book by Neil Gaiman to adapt into a stop-motion animated film. This animation style suits Coraline incredibly well, and I'm glad there are still people who appreciate and put in the effort for stop-motion animation. The result is worth it. Plus, the horror-themed cartoon is all the better for it. And this fairy tale has the makings of a horror film.

Coraline. A fabulous movie for kids and parents alike. I had a great time watching and I liked it, therefore I giving it a full set of stars! And I really liked the voices: Teri Hatcher and Dakota Fanning. The enchanting trip into fantasy at the Pink Palace =oD. It reminds me slightly of "Alice in Wonderland", but I think that this is much better (plot, characters...)
