[OBLIVION ISLAND: HARUKA AND THE MAGIC MIRROR is now available on home video.]
Review by Charles Cassady, Jr.
One of the comments recently on this
blog enthused about the CGI feature PARANORMAN; the poster
hoped it would be in a similar league as CORALINE. Okay, you
want a CORALINE imitation? I'll give you a CORALINE
imitation: OBLIVION ISLAND. Actually, it's even more so a
lookalike of Neil Gaiman's rather lesser-known script MIRRORMASK
- and any number of
little-girl-goes-to-enchanted-alternate-universe-and-gets-chased-by-weird-things,
right back to the first celluloid adaptations of Lewis Carroll's
Alice and her Wonderland.
