Coraline

[LordZeebmork]

I didn't say the end of the movie. The section where she was retrieving the eyes of the three ghost kids seemed ridiculously Zelda-like.

not zelda-like, but incredibly like a video game

the rest of the movie was great but the eye part seemed ridiculously "okay let's just throw this in here as a plot device"/"okay let's cut things from here"/etc.

also the voice acting for coraline completely sucked

BE SHTONG CORALINE
I HYEHVF TO SAVE THEM

i agree with what zeebmork said

also the ultimate evil spider form thing of the other mother was cool and creepy

i haven't read the book, but stuff like adding the character wybie and the finding the ghost children's eyes are cinematic devices to make the film more interesting, and i thought they worked really well. and on another note, the voice acting was excellent.

and i think comparing any bit of this film to a video game is totally stupid. video games haven't been around as long as films, much less books, and animation certainly has nothing to borrow or gain from them.

ive read the book about 2-3 years ago
god i think i read it more that twice

Never once said "the movie reminded me of Zelda" nor am I even talking about the END of the movie. Apparantly the fact that I used the name of an actual game, since video games are taboo here due to people getting jaded by shitty flash movies, got everyone's panties in a bunch. Oh well.

Actually Other-Wybie I was disappointed about because it seemed like they just up and forgot about him. Right before she goes to get the final kid's eyes, they just sorta "wrap up" his entire story like it was an afterthought. Nobody complained, so I guess it didn't affect anything in the grand scheme of things, but that was a little disappointing. At least with the rest of the Other-characters they were given one last measly thing to do beforehand.

lmfao someones getting whiny

Obviously, but again, that wasn't even what I was saying, nor was I even implying it to be something negative.

I was wondering about that too. I recognized his voice as soon as I heard it in the movie, but the voice sounds different for the rest of it... doesn't seem like he'd be the actor, but I forgot to check the voice credits both times I saw it so I don't really know

Must...have....her...HAT.

[Kirbopher]

Apparantly They Might Be Giants came up with that song. They were supposed to do more music for the movie but I guess the studio opted to go with the chorus instead.

Must...have....her...HAT.
