Description

Coraline is the imaginative, adventurous, and creepy movie adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s book of the same name. Released in 2009, when children’s content was being censored so as not to be “too scary,” Coraline flew in the face of that notion as it hit the big screen to critical acclaim. Exploring the question, “is there value in scary children’s stories?” Sonya and Deidra delve into arguments for and against the historical precedents, and why the film continues to generate fan theories, more than a decade since its release.
