Not perfect, no, but on a relative scale it's probably the highest quality movie you can see right now, and it's barely getting any attention. It's made by Laika, the 3D stop-motion studio that made Coraline, Paranorman, Box Trolls, and Corpse Bride. The story is pretty simple (it is a kid's movie, and that's reflected in its depth), but the attention to detail is really solid, and the action is surprisingly well-done and visceral (a scene in the very beginning involving head trauma was almost nauseatingly realistic).

Anyways, if you're a proponent of theaters and films in general, I really recommend you go see this in the theaters and support this studio. They're one of the few studios left making kid-oriented animation that doesn't pander to the lowest common denominator.

Coraline was a nightmare.

I'm sorry but I HATE that animation style

Completely turns me off to the whole movie
