Coraline.
Amazing stuff.
Not having read the book, I watched this with the anticipation of a Neil Gaiman fan collective resting on my consciousness and a middling trailer seen on Apple.com.
It didn't disappoint.
A story about a young girl bored with her parents, and who thinks her parents are bored with her. So she finds new parents, who look just a little odd.
Definitely not a typical feel-good Disney/Pixar variant, which was refreshing. Scenes flipped between the eccentric to mildly amusing to an anticipation of an exciting finish. This is the sort of book I would've loved when I was young. Maybe even now!
The website was the icing on the cake - plenty of fiddling to be had for those with plenty of time on their hands.
Buttons anyone?
