In cinemas April 2009, "Coraline" is a stop-motion fantasy film animated and co-directed by Henry Selick, based on Neil Gaiman's Hugo and Nebula Award-winning novella. Shortly after moving into her new home a young girl named Coraline is drawn to a mysterious locked door. Behind the door and down a gloomy corridor she finds a strange duplicate world, with an eerie duplicate flat and a duplicate but off-kilter Other Mother and Other Father, with black button eyes, who won't let her return to the real world.
