What's your review of the 2009 film Coraline, directed by Henry Selick and adapted from the story by Neil Gaiman. #Coraline #HenrySelick #NeilGaiman Did you know that Coraline is not a Tim Burton movie? It seems obvious, but alas it’s not for some! Still, it’s a fine Henry Selick film! Did you see the trailer and then rush out to see the full movie or buy the DVD or blu ray? I’d love to know your own reviews if you saw it in the cinema or streamed it online!
