Coraline is a wondrous and thrilling, fun and suspenseful
animated adventure. Coraline was written and directed by
stop-motion auteur Henry Selick (The Nightmare Before Christmas,
Wendell & Wild) and stars Dakota Fanning, Ian McShane, Teri
Hatcher, Keith David, John Hodgman, and British comedy duo Dawn
French and Jennifer Saunders. The film was nominated for the Oscar®
and Golden Globe; won the Cristal Award at Annecy and was named one
of the best films of the year by AFI. It won three Annie Awards for
Best Music, Character Design and Production Design.
11-year-old Coraline Jones (Fanning) is feisty, curious, and
intrepid beyond her years. She and her parents (Hatcher, Hodgman)
have just relocated from Michigan to Oregon. Missing her friends
and finding her parents to be distracted by their work, Coraline
tries to find some excitement in her new environment but seriously
doubts that her new home can provide anything truly intriguing to
her. But when she walks through a secret door in her living room
and ventures down an eerie passageway, she discovers an alternate
version of her life and existence. On the surface, this parallel
reality is similar to her real life – only much better. The adults,
including the solicitous Other Mother (Hatcher), seem much more
welcoming to her. Even the mysterious Cat (David) now regards her
as the center of attention. She begins to think that this Other
World might be where she belongs. But when her wondrously
off-kilter, fantastical visit turns dangerous and Other Mother
schemes to keep her there, Coraline musters all of her
resourcefulness, determination, and bravery to get back home – and
save her family.
