Coraline
A gift to imagination.
Coraline
General Event Description: (100 minutes) From Henry Selick (The Nightmare Before Christmas, James and the Giant Peach) and based on the novella of the same name by author Neil Gaiman (Sandman), Coraline is a wondrous, thrilling, fun and suspenseful adventure. A young girl walks through a secret door in her new home and discovers an alternate version of her life. On the surface, this parallel reality is eerily similar to her real life – only much better. But when this wondrously off-kilter, fantastical adventure turns dangerous and her counterfeit parents try to keep her forever, Coraline must count on her resourcefulness, determination, and bravery to save her family and get back home. The voice cast includes Dakota Fanning, Teri Hatcher, Ian McShane, Jennifer Saunders and Dawn French. Produced by Henry Selick, Claire Jennings, Bill Mechanic and Mary Sandell. Written for the screen and directed by Henry Selick.
Added Value Description: (15 minutes) “Coraline: A Handmade Fairytale” – From jumping mice to secret tunnels to fantastic gardens that bloom at night, Coraline is a gorgeous feast for the eyes—crafted completely by hand. This documentary takes you behind the scenes to reveal the intricate process of making LAIKA’s first animated feature. Interviews with author Neil Gaiman, screenwriter/director Henry Selick, the LAIKA crew, and the celebrated voice cast offer first-hand insight into the Oscar-nominated film that pushed the envelope of stop-motion animation in extraordinary directions.
