Movie #496 "Corlaine" was one of the most inventive films I have ever seen. I just kept staring at the screen, laughing at each new page turn --- I never guessed where it was going until the very end, when it was tying up all the loose ends. What a hoot! But not for little kids, oh my. I watched it with my niece (who is 12) and she found it a bit frightening in parts. Goofy, quirky, creative, creepy, imaginative, all those words and more describe this one. I kept trying to picture the guy who wrote this film --- where the heck did he get all these ideas? Really amazing piece of film. So if you are looking for something different, and a tad dark (like Burton films), see this animated gem!
