Visually enthralling, but lacks narrative focus
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).

"When Coraline moves to an old house, she feels bored and neglected by her parents. She finds a hidden door with a bricked up passage. During the night, she crosses the passage and finds a parallel world where everybody has buttons instead of eyes, with caring parents and all her dreams coming true. "

" Directed by: Henry Selick Produced by: Bill Mechanic, Claire Jennings, Henry Selick, and Mary Sandell Written by: Nei!

Finding the right creative mind to match their artistry to would help ensure they keep going for year"
“Laika es un estudio particular cuando se trata de las historias que animan. No suele seguir los patrones establecidos a nivel narrativo y temático familiar clásico de Disney.

Una lástima tomando en cuenta su creatividad y ansias de ambición.
Esto es notorio con su título de mayor reconocimiento “Coraline y La Puerta Secreta”. La premisa es sobre una niña aventurera llamada Coraline quien se muda a una serie de departamentos ll” read more
