Sure, the animation looks nice, but there's no emotional connection with the characters, the storyline is lackluster like you said and the voice work is average at best. One thing that really irritated me was the main and title character Coraline herself. First of all, Dakota Fanning's voice work is extremely irritating and second she's just a bland character overall. And I don't understand why she was so ticked off with Wybie. Maybe she's just a moody girl like most girls are, I guess. Another thing honerable mention is her real parents. Why on Earth were they neglecting and not listening to her in the beginning of the film? I wouldn't do that if I had children. I would consider that child abuse. The only I liked was the black cat voiced by Keith David. That's it. I still don't get why everybody is raving about this film other than the stop-motion animation. "The Nightmare Before Christmas" is alot better than this garbage. Once again, I agree with your review on this movie.
