The book translates very well to other mediums devoid of McKean's gifts. In fact, McKean's reserved B&W illos for the novella are hardly a deal breaker. Gaiman recorded a reading of Coraline, and it is one of my kids favorites -- and these kids have been raised on the best -- Jim Dale (Potter), and Tara Sands' incredible readings of Ellen Potter's "Olivia Kidney" series. Coraline sounds great in spoken word format, and should be just as incredible in stop motion animation. Between Gaiman's novels, and Sandman, I think he is entitled to a few lame ducks -- Coraline the book is a bright spot, the audio recording of it is delightful, and the movie should be an easy exercise.

I'm sure I'll enjoy it, but it will always be in the shadow of Dave McKean's art. The book was genuinely scary, and this just looks too cartoony to get that same creepiness.
