I was really against the look/idea of the Coraline movie because I had read the book when it had initially come out. So when I saw some of the stills, I was all "OH THAT IS SOOOOO NOT WHAT IT SHOULD LOOK LIKE!!!/obnoxious elitism whatever." Like, I felt REALLY disappointed, but the previews magically changed that, and I warmed up to the idea of going to see it.
In the end, I thought that the movie was DAMN GOOD. The work that went into it is incredible and kind of overwhelming to think about. Stop-motion animation is no easy feat and is very time-consuming. Overall, I was very pleased with how it came out. It had beautiful visuals/music/blah blah blah, and I still thought it was creepy.
