Coraline: Back home, cats don't talk. So how are you able to...
Cat: I just can.

An adventurous girl finds another world that is a strangely idealized version of her frustrating home, but it has sinister secrets.

Dakota Fanning: Coraline Jones

Coraline is a surreal merging of new and old techniques. Utilizing beautiful stop motion animation and ... read more

"You probably think this world is a dream come true... but you're wrong."

A screen adaptation of the 2002 novella of the same name by Neil Gaiman, Coraline signals Henry Selick's long-overdue return to the realm of stop-motion animation (after The Nightmare Before Christmas and James and the Giant Peach). In an era dominated by computer-animated movies (courtesy of Pixar, Dreamworks... read more

I'm not sure quite what it was about Henry Selick's Coraline, but it feels like an indie animated short film. Perhaps it's the animation, or maybe the off-kilter story, but Coraline has a very home-spun, gutsy feel to it, that very much reminds me of an art-house animated short film.

Coraline is a spine-tingling tale about a curious girl (Fanning) who unlocks a mysterious door in her family's new home and enters into an adventure in a parallel reality. On the surface, this "Other World" eerily mimics her own life—though it is much more fantastical. In it, Coraline encounters different versions of her own life, including off-kilter neighbors and an Other Mother (Hatcher) who attempts to keep her forever. Ultimately, Coraline must rely on her resourcefulness, determination and bravery to get back home— and save her family.
