In her new home, Coraline feels a tad ignored by her parents, and by the other strange adults who also live in her building, and slightly annoyed by Wybey, the boy next door. But a strange key that seems not to match any of the doors in the house appears, and when some mice point her towards a door she's never seen before, she's soon in a strange new version of the house, seemingly so much more attractive than the world she's left behind. But sometimes you should be careful what you wish for....




Director Selick is responsible for a couple of the most interesting stop-motion animations of the last 20 years, ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’ and ‘James and the Giant Peach’. Writer (of the book) Gaiman has a nice angle in slightly-twisted fantasy, from ‘Stardust’ to his magnum opus, the 75-issue comic book saga "The Sandman". Combine the two of them and you get an utterly gorgeous, fairly thrilling, and only just a tad unsettling story for children of all ages (in fact, children who are in their mid-thirties like myself may possibly get a whole lot more out of it than those of a slightly more, ahem, ADD-related generation - the story-telling is at a reasonably gentle pace for the first thirty-or-so minutes).
