Saw Coraline Saturday evening. Plenty of ridiculous tour-de-force animation set-pieces (in 3D yet) all strung together roller-coaster-style by a nugatory story that (as![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dark_of_night noted (because I never notice these things)) cribs from Pinocchio. Really, the story was quite disappointing. I mean let's face it: C's parents are, in fact, dicks. So I think the message of the movie is "Just suck it up and suffer, because this is the best of all possible worlds."
Or maybe it isn't, but at least that allows me to segue into Leibniz...
