If you like Tim Burton / creepy animation / a wildly inventive story line then this is the product for you. We had been asking our 10 year old for ages if he wanted to watch this film before he suddenly decided he wanted to, probably due to play ground whispers about how good it is .

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. Coupled with the fact that the storyline is excellent, and is particularly well voiced and written, the film creates an atmosphere that draws you in and makes you want to watch it again and again.

But it is a mysterious hidden door that most piques Coraline's interest - a gateway to a parallel world where her 'other' parents and neighbours live only to see Coraline well fed and endlessly entertained. It's this very cautionary wisdom that sets the stage for Henry Selick's Coraline, an eerily eye-popping stop-motion animation tale of fractured dreams and families made whole.Crawling through the passage beyond, Coraline emerges into an eerie, parallel version of her own world. From the visionary director of The Nightmare Before Christmas, and based on Neil Gaiman's best-selling book, comes this spectacular stop-motion animated adventure!

For older children, however, whether they be of school age or merely the young at heart, this is an eye-popping fantasy that deserves viewing and, now it’s on DVD, here’s your chance. When the Other Mother invites Coraline to stay in her world forever, the girl refuses and finds that the alternate reality where she is trapped is only a trick to lure her. But when this wondrously off-kilter, fantastical adventure turns dangerous, and her counterfeit other mother (voiced by Teri Hatcher) tries to keep her forever, Coraline must count on her stubborn determination, bravery, the aid of her neighbours and a talking black cat to save her real parents and some ghost children and to get back home.There may not be any blood and gore, but the creepy images presented in this film are, in some ways, even more disturbing, be it metallic-legged spider-like hands or warped buttons eyes.

When a little girl moves to a strange new home, boredom sets in rather quickly as her inattentive and overworked parents are too busy to notice her unhappiness.

Misunderstood local boy Norman, who is able to speak to the dead, takes on zombies, ghosts, witches and, worst of all, grown-ups to save his town from a centuries-old curse. As an only child, Coraline has to make her own entertainment in her spacious but rather run down surroundings.

After moving into her new home with her work-fixated parents, Coraline Jones (voice of Dakota Fanning) teams up with new friend Wybie Lovat (Robert Bailey, Jr. Based on Neil Gaiman's beloved children's novel, director Selick (The Nightmare Before Christmas) uses the stop-motion technique to bring Coraline to life with amazing visual and emotional depth. Having seen the film, I would imagine instead that, in fact, the second rate anaglyph 3D tech that we’re currently limited to in the home would possibly have merely detracted from the rich detail of the images, and the only reason I would tell you to avoid the DVD version would be to pick up the Blu-ray if you can, which surely would be the format to do justice to the stunning visuals of Coraline.
