Coraline

[Arcdelad]

Just a warning to parents of small kids - I saw "Coraline" with the boys yesterday, and although we are pretty good about pre-screening movies before the boys see any in the theatre, we never got around to this one...

...and it was OKAY - except about halfway through the movie it gets decidedly CREEPIER and SCARY - including a witch that wants to sew buttons on the main charachter's eyes...

my kids are almost 3 and almost 5 and they have been bombarded with the commercial on Nick and Noggin and such and really wanted to see it...just FYI for those parents taking their kids to the movies!

I would def consider it to be more for older kids like 8-9+. Im not sure why they billed this as a kids movie for all ages. The book this movie is based on is very dark and tuned more for teenagers and adults.

it is from the director of nightmare before christmas... so that theme really doesn't surprise me all that much... but yah, i've heard from friends that its like that... though i haven't read the book...  i should really read more

Its essentially a very dark Alice in Wonderland, which originally, before Disney flowered Alice in Wonderland, that tale was rather dark as well.
