An Underrated Animated Gem

Coraline was the animation sleeper for 2009, a film that packed a lot of charm and wonder into an underrated package. The story and dark comedy, courtesy of the great Neil Gaiman, are unique and thoroughly well-done. The visuals and direction by Henry Sellick (one of the geniuses behind The Nightmare Before Christmas - though Tim Burton usually gets all the credit) are creative and stick with you long after the film. Coraline is not just a film for children, but pushes back on adults with coming of age themes itself.
