THE IMPORTANT THING:
Gaiman’s imagination runs wild in ‘Coraline’ (Stephen Schaefer, February 4, 2009, Boston Herald)
Gaiman says his stories follow G.K. Chesterton’s theory of fairy tales.“They’re important not because they’re telling children about dragons, monsters and boogeymen,” he said. “The important thing is they tell children that dragons, monsters and the boogeymen can be defeated.
“ ‘Coraline’ is for brave little girls of all ages,” Gaiman said. “It doesn’t say bravery means not being scared either. There are not a lot of films with brave little girls. This is a film to take your daughter to, and that’s one of the things I’m most proud of with ‘Coraline.’ ”
It could hardly be getting better reviews.
