So this sounds like another version of Miyazaki's 'Spirited Away' Why would we want to want this when his is a masterpiece?

though I liked Miyazaki's work, I didn't think it was absolutely fantastic, and i have higher hopes for Coraline. omg, I just sounded like one of those critics that brings everybody down! srry...Anyway, I'm really looking forward to the movie, butI have heard that it perhaps should be rated pg-13 for a fat lady in a thong? perhaps a failed attempt at humor...haven't we all done that?

Coraline was pretty good. It was pretty intense for a PG movie.

Creeeeeeeeepy. Why does he (Tim Burton) do that kind of stuff? I guess it's just a different type of one-note genre like Kevin Smith movies.

This movie was ridiculous. It should have been rated pg-13. It had a big fat women with enormous breasts in the nude except for a thong and pasties. Whoever put this in a children's story should be ashamed of themselves. The movie was very scary, and the two girls (about 12 yrs. old) behind us teared up and had to ask their parents questions about the misunderstood darkness of the movie. Their were not many redeeming qualities either, as the girl only wants to leave horrorville after the people want to take her eyes out and sew buttons in their place, and escaping only after throwing someone else (albeit non-human) in her way. I was excited to see the movie, as I thought it would be Tim Burtonesque, but it trades its lighthearted humor for demented darkness. I am 36, and thought the movie had some wonderful effects, but I would not bring my child to the movie (If I had, we would have definitely left.

It's to the animators credit that the movie critics who don't do their homework assume this movie is computer animated. It's stop-motion animation, but I suppose that doesn't make much difference most people.

It does seem unfair that this movie only gets a PG rating when 'Triplets of Belleville' got slapped with an R for daring to show bare breasts for a few seconds. Wonder how much Phil Knight had to bribe the censor board for that.
