Me & Z went to see (hey, that rhymes!) Coraline this weekend. Really good movie. We've added the book to our reading list. It's got that off-kilter, anti-fairy tale thing going for it, and gobs of really cool artistry, all done by hand. Amazing.
Zach's favorite part: the hand, constructed of mechanical needles, chasing Coraline.
My favorite part: The cat. The cat was cool.
Oh, and one more cool thing: The executive producer of the film is from Michigan and went to MSU, so Coraline Jones in the movie is from Pontiac Michigan, her dad wears MSU shirts throughout the movie, and a central prop to the film was a Detroit Zoo snow globe, complete with the two-bear zoo fountain inside it!

That's so cool about the Michigan references, especially the zoo fountain bears!
I love it when successful people don't forget where they came from!
Cool - that movie is on our to-do list!
