Watch the following trailer for 'Coraline' and then read through the tapescript to make sure you understood it all. Some of the words are linked to the Cambridge Online Dictionary:
"Coraline Jones always dreamed of finding a better world. A world more exciting than this, but never did she imagine that she'd discover it in her own home. A parallel place…"
"We've been waiting for you, Coraline."
"…where parents are always fun."
"I love your garden! (I) can't believe you did this!"
"…and everything is so good…"
"What's shaking, baby?"
"…it just can't be real."
"Mom?"
"You're just in time for supper dear."
"You're not my mother. My mother doesn't have b,b,b…"
"B, b, b, buttons? Do you like them? I'm your other mother, silly."
"You probably think that this world is a dream come true…'
"My name!"
"….but you're wrong!"
"You do like it here, don't you, Coraline? You could stay here forever; there's one tiny, little thing you need to do…black is traditional."
"She's got this whole world where everything's better, but it's all a trap."
"You may come out when you've learned to be a loving daughter."
"From Henry Selick the director of The Night Before Christmas comes a world of extraordinary imagination. Spooky secrets…"
"Who are you?"
"You're in terrible danger, girl."
"...and daring discoveries."
"I still have to find my parents to set them free."
"This year, when adventure comes knocking, there are some doors that should never be opened."
"I'm not scared!"
"Coraline - written for the screen and directed by Tom Selick. Presented in 'Real D' 3-D."

wow!.... it is... no, it's not!..... it sucks! big time....
Wow! 3D! What a crap... I prefer Kung-Fu Pnada and Ratattouille to such experiments. Poor children, what they have to see nowadays. I would be scared to get out of my house (or in this case, wonder about in the house) were to be in their shoes.
I was scared out of my wits!
I am absolutely agreed with you, Pitchpotch, I don't like this movie at all. It doesn't suit for children.
My children don't watch TV at all, still if they are younger then 7-8 years they might wake up in the night because of bad dreams. It's always something scary.
If they watch this movie they cannot sleep at all. What for they produce these movies?
You cannot teach how to love using a fear. It doesn't work.
Disney Classics for Grivna
How old are your children, Grivna? Are they to young to watch TV or you just restricted them to watch TV? I only have one boy who is 3 years of age. He likes cartoons, but I only allow him one hour on Saturday and one on Sunday. Our national television is broadcasting Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Little Einsteins which are two interactive, educative and up-to-date serials.
Of course, from time to time we watch a Disney Classic: Snow White, Cinderella, Aladdin, Bamby, a.s.o. I have around 50 Disney cartoons on CDs.
Unfortunately we can't control what our children are watching all the time.
Cheers!
Hi, Pitchpotch
Our national TV is very bad, so I store my TV set in the garage, there it feels OK inside the box. I have six children from 13 years to 8 months. We watch some movies on DVD - so I can control what they watch.
Thanks for your reply. I think that sometimes we have to fight with "the progress", it is too dangerous.
Take care of yourself!
Hello, Grivna!
Thank you! But you know someone once said "You can't stand in the way of progress!"
.
Congratulation on your family. It must be hard raising six children, but I'm sure that they have plenty of love from you and your 'partner'
I hate the word 'partner' in this context
I have the most beautiful wife!
cartoon
i seem directors this cartoon want to look like at "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll. But Alice's story is a bit strange, very funny and absolutely kind.
Children watching TV
DucNgoc
My boy, he is 5 years old, he love cartoon channel and watching it at all the time he is at home. In my country (Vietnam) the channel for the children is broadcasting cartoon film, Play and learn ( made by Australia TV) , 2 bananas in pijama ( made by Australia TV) these are very interesting program for the children to watch and learn.But cartoon some time is not suitable for the children, cause they some time broadcasting the cartoon that is so violent, it is not good for the children cause they always learn and act as the character in the TV. My boy watching TV too much, I know that is not good for him, but I really have no way to stop him.
I think there is no
I think there is no difference but you can say that I is use for personally and me is use of in front of someone.

I think so, this movie is no for children, but their parent can wath. Really is a good movie.
Excellent lesson, as usual.
Excellent lesson, as usual. Do my children love this cartoon, I don't know. Now children have their own tastes, and it's rather difficult to influence on their choice. But of course they need our control and advice(If they ask us)
