have you seen the iron giant? that's made by the director of ratatouille and the incredibles, and it's a really good 2d animated movie
no, i seem to recall watching a bit of it but i really don't remember anything about it

also, watch coraline. that's stop-motion. it's one of my favorite movies and one of the few movies that actually justifies the book its based on
oh that movie

i got bored and stopped watching it. nothing was scary (yet) and it was all just slow buildup to what i can predict would be "surprise! the nice other world is actually really bad! now go enjoy the real world you silly person"
 
coraline wasn't really about "oh stop playing in imagination"

i'm pretty sure both the book and the movie made it clear that coraline was neglected a lot in her regular world

instead coraline is about taking matters into your own hands, learning who you are, knowing not to trust strangers who also happen to have buttons in their eyes, etc

also it's about bravery and courage and the difference between the two (there's a whole big speech in the book about this that i think wasn't in the movie which makes me sad because it was a pretty good monologue)

And the art style was pretty cool.
 
that's because it was stop-motion animation

well, most of it. obviously there were special effects
 
You ever read the book? It's f***ing terrifying. Especially the ending. To be honest, I didn't like the movie because it seemed to take a fundamentally dark and creepy novella and make it bright and cartoony. Just my opinion I guess; The artstyle is cool, but I didn't think it was appropriate.

I dont think parents would let kids watch it if it was like the book.

Fair enough; but then why choose to use that book? Either you can stay true to the book, making your target audience more like "young adult/teen" or you can soften the horror elements, which is what they did. I think it would have been better to do the former; otherwise you are just twisting the original source material to meet your commercial needs. And that's the kind of bullshit I hate in book-to-movie adaptations. Either stay as true as possible to the original or leave it alone! (You may notice I don't like book-to-movie adaptations)
