I'm trying to find out if Coraline is too scary for children, and if so around what age limit. I'd like to know exactly what is so scary about it and for crying out loud be honest. I don't want scaremongering or over the top analysis going on the assumption that children are traumatised by Bambi! Is 8 the general agreed limit?
Thanks guys!

I was 12.
Not only that, but I've watched much scarier. I don't think that it can be compared to Bambi or other Disney movies, as stated above.
For little kids, some of this stuff is scary because they don't understand certain things. The mood is magnified because they don't perceive it as a cat (for example), all they'll remember later in their nightmares is the 'freaky, weird green thing'. That's how I remember monsters from mildly scary movies from my childhood. Dark, scary music makes everything much scarier than it is for older people. Things that they have never seen or heard of before cause fear.
In conclusion, I seriously think that it is a movie for older kids. Maybe 10-12.
