I'm Going to Have to Give Coraline a Little More Thought...

...Before I decide exactly how I feel about it.
Went to see it last night with some friends, and, mostly, I think it's an adorable movie. However, the "Demon Mother Who Devours You" plot point irks me sometimes. As, this time, it comes from Neil Gaiman, who, in "How to Talk to Girls," presents the female species as this scary "Other," I feel the need to give Coraline a little more examination before I give my complete interpretation of "The Other Mother." Linking her to "La Belle Dame Sans Merci" was a clever way of linking her with Arthurian legends, though.
