Coraline was a bit of a reprieve from what Dakota Fanning is used to doing. Up until this point, the young actress was lauded as operating in the realm of drama. We’re talking about stellar performances in I am Sam, Man on Fire, and War of the Worlds.
In this situation, she was able to voice the character of a young girl who embarks on a coming-of-age tale involving fantasy elements and a parallel universe. While it’s a bit dark with some horror features, Fanning hits it out of the proverbial park here.
