It seemed clear to me that it was for adults and most other parents said "well it's animated right so it's for kids" Uhm sure hey take them to see Fritz the Cat or Heavy Metal next you know cuz they are animated. And afterwards let me introduce you to a couple of guys named Spike and Mike See I never saw it as marketing to kids.

Also, I dressed as Jason, Mike, CaraPiel, Cabeza de muchos Clavos, Frederico, y la Huesuda (version judeo-christiana) before I became an adolescent and gave up halloween along with everything else fun due to hormonal brain damage.

Wed, 08 Jul 2009 04:31:25 +0000 http://hijinksensue.com/?p=865#comment-19346 I realize this is about 5 months too late, but i just found this particular comic (I had missed it), and had to chime in. 1. Coraline came out when I was 7 or 8. I read it and had nightmares for the next week, but 8 year old girls get scared of a lot of stuff. I remember thinking 'what an amazing adventure story' and 'what would I do in coraline's place? would I be that brave?' but I also got a hint of the darker undertones. I think the pieces of the adult meaning that I had glimpsed were what scared me; adventures are just romps. 2. Fast forward about 10 years. my friends and I decided to go see it, so I reread the book. my thoughts: -no wonder I had nightmares! is this really a children's book? -this is a work of genius. weaving a kid's adventure into an adult theme and doing it well is hard. -perfect example of forsaking good for pleasure. I need to show this to Sam. 3. saw it in 3d. absolutely majestic. burton films are amazing, but this one was the best. nothing truly shot out at you; the 3d served to emphasize (not create) feelings. I'll get the DVD, but they better have a 3d version. again, sorry this is WAAAAAYYYYYYYY late.

I saw it more as a really good episode of "Are you Afraid of the Dark," it actually reminded me of the dollhouse episode. Gaiman is a great writer in general, "American Goods" and "Good Omens" are both terrific, though I didn't know he wrote Coraline till I watched Mirrormask, (another great movie,) and I noticed the art styles were similar to the book jacket. The book itself is very good. Buttons were very creepy after reading it. Having read the book in high school Brit Lit, it was [sadly] one of the best books I read in high school.
