Am I the only one who knows what koumpounophobia is?  If you know what it is, then you have a pretty good clue as to what this thread will be about.
If you're clueless, watch this video to find out what it is.
..........Watched it?  Good! Now ve vill commence ze telling of vat zeez thread eez avout! Mwahahaha!
No, this thread is not about the fear of b-b-b-buttons. It is related to it though.
The purpose of this thread is to talk about.... Yup! COORRALLLIIINNNEEEEE! Coraline!
It's an anime, techincally. It's stop motion animation, and anime means animation, so I put it in this category... Aaand I get the feeling that this thread'll be moved.... I reeally get the feeling. Oh noes!
On to the topic of the thread....
Have you read the book or graphic novel?
Have you seen the movie?
If you've seen it, how was it?
Did you like it?
Were you scared? Even slightly?
Were you creeped out?
In your opinion...
What was the funniest part?
Scariest part?
Part that made you cringe?
Was the voice acting good?
Animation good?
Aaannddd...
What was the audience reaction in your theater?
Aaannnddd thats it!  You dont have to answer all of those questions, those are just there to encourage conversation and posting! You can come up with your own questions and answers, too.  Mwahaha.
Bottom line: If you have any thoughts, opinions, etc about the book, graphic novel, or movie, post 'em here!
Oh, one last note. Dont go through little doors or accept little dolls that look like you from strangers.

Yeah, I saw the trailer a few months back. Actually looks like it's worth watching.
Not out here yet though, but I'll check it out.

Yup! It's definitely worth watching, IMO! It's really beautiful to watch, especially considering that everything you see on the screen is hand-made. Teeny-tiny clothes, puppets, furniture, sets, trees... Everything! It's amazing!
Ah, yeah....
If you like movies with...
*A brave female herione (although she's a bit of a brat)
*Creepy stuff (lotsa nightmare fuel for some children... and maybe some adults, as well Dont bring really little kids if they are prone to nightmares)
*Alternate worlds (where everything revolves around you! And everything's better! Who hasnt wanted that at one time or another?)
*Alternate worlds (that are too-good-to-be-true. Face it, if it seems too good to be true... it probably is.)
*Scenes where you actually get to watch animated people eat stuff (what? Am I the only one who likes watching animated people eat? In most animated disney movies, NOBODY EATS! How do they live?)
*Cats (that talk. But only in the other world)
*Suprising scenes (that will make you wonder if this really is a kids movie...I am talking about Spink and Forcibles show, y'all.)
*Stop-motion animation (quite smooth animation overall, with just enough jerkiness so that you know 'Yes! this is stop-motion! not computer animation!)
*Non-Disneyness (that is to say, not the creepiness was not toned down and it was not all sugary-sweetness. Yaay! And no weird musical numbers! Unless you count the other father song. That was random.)
...If you like movies with all this stuff, you'll probably like Coraline.
And I'll think of some more things later, probably...
B-B-B-Buttons?
That smile is creeping me out.

Yaay! ^^
The movie eez amazing, is it not?
For some reason, now I'm like, obsessed with stop-motion animation. ^^;; Probably becasue it's something that I can actually do, unlike traditional animation where I try and try and just end up reeally frusturated with my lack of drawing abilities.
When I was younger, I knew that I wanted to be an animator of some kind. I wanted to make things MOVE! And I still do. I sit and watch people, animals, trees, whatever. I'm a patient person...usually. But i'm not sure how to get into the animation... Like, how to learn how to do it. Gah. Sorry, I'm babbling. Should be talking about Coraline... Hmm....
Heres a picture of Wybie and Coraline.

I've watched Coraline and it was, IMO, very good. I want to read the book now. BTW have you noticed how pointy Wybie's ears look in that picture. It makes him look like an elf. Anyway, I want to see Coraline again in 3D because my theater dosen't do 3D....

Yaay!!! The movie is very good, isnt it?!
The book is amazingness, I read it in 6th grade when it first came out and it's been a favorite ever since! (I was 12 then, and I had nightmares...The book illustrations are sooooooo creepy.) So you could say that I've been looking forward to the movie for quite a few years. (4) I was quite happy when I first found out it was going to be a stop motion film!
Be warned, though: Wybie and Mr. B arent in the book. So dont look for them there.
Wybie eez an elf! HE IS!
Meh me too! But none of the theaters in my area are playing coraline anymore! D: It is sad... And the theaters in my area are still playing that paul blart mall cop movie. WHYYYYYY????!!!!! It's so stupid! Coraline is sooo much better, IMO. (though I suppose some might disagree, lol.)

When I heard about this before, I thought it looked weird and didn't dwell on it any further than that. However, today I saw a trailer on TV, saw that in motion it looks really good, and heard something about a connection with The Nightmare Before Christmas. Since then I've discovered that it was based on a graphic novel by Neil Gaiman (I know, I'm slow  ), and now I'm really interested!

 ............. ..........
'Course it's weird!!!! THAT IS WHY I LIKE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
'Cause I'm insane,
THE MOVIE IS AMAZINGLY AMAZING AND BEAUTIFULLY BREATHTAKING!!!! GO SEE IT NOOWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!
-deep breath- Okay, I'm calmer now... Calm, kitty, calm...
Book. Coraline was a book first. Published in 2001. Written by Neil Gaiman. Graphic novel was published in early 2008. It's very good. The book has also been adapted into a puppet show thing, an off-broadway musical, etc. etc. etc.
Gaiman sent the book to Henry Selick (the REAL director of the Nightmare Before Christmas) before the book was even published, and Selick became the director of the movie.
Be interested!
Go read the book, first. Then see the movie. I'm serious. Read. The. Book. First. 'Casue it's really really good. And scary.

And in the book, he's not a circus performer, he's an old man.
Mr. Bobo? Really? In the book it keeps calling him the crazy old man upstairs.
