Directed by Henry Selick (known for “The Nightmare Before Christmas”), “Coraline” is based on the 2002 book of the same name by Neil Gaiman. Featuring the voices of Dakota Fanning and Teri Hatcher, “Coraline” received critical acclaim and was nominated for “Best Animated Feature” at the 2009 Academy Awards.
As production company Laika says in their release notes, “Coraline Jones is bored in her new home until she finds a secret door that leads to a world just like her own… only better! But when this fantastic adventure turns dangerous and her ‘other’ mother tries to keep her forever, Coraline must count on her ingenuity and bravery to get home.”
