I think the moral of the story is that if you are lonely, bored and feel horribly misunderstood, seek only temporary comfort in guilty pleasures such as, circus mice marches, personalized topiary, cotton candy canons, Scottie dogs, and mango milk-shakes served out of chandeliers, for fear of being forever banished to some strange underworld with weird, Olde-English speaking, stunted-baby ghosts. But it's the guilty pleasures that visually delight in Henry Selik's Coraline, a lovely, artful stop-motion animated film. The precision involved to make the movement in the film fluid and life-like is a technical marvel. It took days to shoot merely seconds of certain scenes. It's astounding how much care and effort put into the design and blocking of each scene.
