Coraline 3-d review

3d seems to be coming into its own.  It certainly wasn't necessary for the film but provides a nice enhancer, an experience more like surround sound than a  gimmick.  That said, if 3d isn't available, the film is still worth seeing.

I actually have an autographed copy of the book, thanks Danielle, but it's been a while since I've read it so I'm not well positioned to judge the many changes.  I do think the film stands on its own as more than just beautiful stop-motion animation.

Spoilers in these links: For analysis I recommend Gategrrl over at Hathor Legacy and Judy Berman over at Broadsheet.  For a more critical take check out Lampbane's post which gets into differences between the movie and the book.
