Review of the cartoon "Coraline"
There is a wide spread opinion that books are better than films based on them, but to my mind, some films can express the feeling and emotions more thoroughly by means of music, backgrounds and colors. Moreover why doesn't like watching cartoons? Coraline is a very brave girl who walks through the door and finds an alternative version of her life. This place is perfect at the first sight.
I must admit that before I watch it, I was sceptical about whether I'd enjoy it. To be honest, I'm not a fan of horror films. However, one of the strenght of the cartoon is the way the director use backgroud music and color in order to show the detailed description of the feelings of the main character. It's also an extremely gripping story. Once I started watching it, I was so obsessed with the plot. Although it's a cartoon, it touches some problem between parents and children, so people of all the ages could find something useful and interesting for them. The only negative thing I would say about «Coraline» is that sometimes it is very frightening. It may be too terrifying for the target audience.
I would highly recommend this cartoon. It's obvious to me now that everyone should watch it. Even if you are not really interested in horror films, don't be put off. It is beautifully-made animated cartoon with exciting plot.
