About
If you like dark, fairy-tale style adventures with creepy whimsy, Coraline is a strong pick; Not for you if you want a light, purely kid-friendly story, or if you can’t handle unsettling tension like The Nightmare Before Christmas or James and the Giant Peach.
Pros: eerie, imaginative world; well-crafted stop-motion; memorable, dark-fantasy vibe | Cons: can be too scary; not for very young kids; unsettling tone
