| Chicago Daily HeraldDann GireCoraline proves Selick to be a champion storyteller with stop-motion animation. He resurrects the dark sinisterness of Nightmare and cannily merges it with a touch of Alice in Wonderland and Arachnophobia. |
| Bangitout.comJordan HillerWhile Selick's production is not by any stretch graphic or gory, the use of odd and irregular shapes, proportions, and movement creates a dark symphony of macabre images that horrify the psyche and chill the blood all the same. |
| FILMINK (Australia)Pauline AdamekCoraline is a genuinely creepy film that employs 3-D trickery to its best affect. A deliciously entertaining mythological adventure. |
| Sunday Times (UK)Cosmo LandesmanThe film combines stunning visuals - there are scenes of incredible beauty - with good old-fashioned storytelling that is funny, inventive and at times scary. Destined to be a classic. |
| News of the WorldRobbie CollinThis deliciously creepy fairy- tale-penned by Neil Gaiman and adapted by Nightmare Before Christmas director Henry Selick-might just be the best 3D film ever made. It is, without doubt, the best I've seen. |

| TheMovieReport.comMichael DequinaOne fantastic entertainment for viewers of any age. |
