I haven't seen the show and I like the movie, but I'm sure they're very different.

This is the show?: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lost_World_(TV_series) I hadn't heard of it, but apparently it's based on the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle novel of the same name, which was definitely a big influence on Crichton when writing JP and was the namesake of his second novel, so they actually are sort of related.

Yeah, me too. Like I said earlier, I love Coraline, and that's a bit of a twist on Alice in Wonderland. I actually found that movie pretty scary, and I was 13 when I saw it! I actually think it would be pretty terrifying to a younger kid - few things would be scarier than a slightly inverted version of your parent with evil intentions. And it's just vague enough about the Other Mother's origins to have that inherent mysterious creepiness.

That’s it! It’s been over a decade since I watched it, but I would always watch it every morning before school. I had never known it was based on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s work, that’s pretty wild.

Coraline is an all time fave of mine too. I also saw it in theaters, and I think I was 12 at the time? I sometimes watch videos theorizing on the film and its characters because there’s so many details you can miss or not even realize. I plan on reading the book eventually, which I’ve heard is even creepier, so I look forward to that.

I haven't read The Lost World, but I did read a decent amount of ACD's Sherlock Holmes material when I was younger. Oddly haven't seen many Sherlock movies, just the first Robert Downey Jr. movie and Young Sherlock Holmes, which is sorta a fan fiction deal. I'd also like to see The Seven Per-Cent Solution and Peter Cushing's The Hound of the Baskervilles.

I think the novel is supposed to be very similar, the main difference being that the movie added Wybie just so Coraline would have someone to talk to in the real world.
