Coraline Movie

My Rating: 4 stars I was really interested to see how this book was brought to life in this movie. I thought it was pretty good. Dakota Fanning did the voice for Coraline. I really thought it was interesting how the director, Henry Selick, made Coraline a kind of animated claymation movie. There were only […]
