Not impressed by the Coraline teaser.
It's American to start with. I know I should expect it by now but it still bugs me. Which means for a start the name is pronounced differently than I hear it in my head (and how Neil Gaiman pronounces it when he reads).

And there's a shot of her crawling through a tiny door.
Why?
This isn't Alice in Wonderland. The door was full size - it was orginally a door to connect two rooms when the flat was a house.

Oh I know it's petty. I just wish they'd commissioned Gaiman to write an original script, then Coraline could have stayed in my head in the perfectly formed version that he wrote in the first place.

Then again, I might just avoid it. I did with The Dark is Rising and The Golden Compass after all.
