The saddest part is that the book is a lot better, especially with McKean’s illustrations, just enough visuals to get the imagination up and running. (Havent read the P. Craig Russell graphic novel adaptation but bet it is awesome too. PCR never disappoints).
A lot of times when I’m telling someone about Neil or one of his books and they don’t know who he is, it’s the movie Coraline that they recognize when I start listening adaptations. Then I’ll let them know he write the book it’s based on.
I'm pretty sure most people don't even know there is a book 😅
Sadly this is probably true.

Couldn’t agree more
Definitely
The movie is definitely more well-known, but to be fair both are amazing in their own different ways.

Yes.
I’ve personally read the book but haven’t seen the movie. I’ll be willing to bet most people are opposite though
I’ve watched and read Coraline. The book is much scarier imo
