Based on the book by Neil Gaiman
A Christmas present to animation enthusiasts, Coraline, the latest from director Henry Selick (The Nightmare Before Christmas), opens in limited release this December and Focus Features recently passed along the following plot synopsis.
A high-definition stop-motion animated feature â the first to be originally filmed in 3-D â with spectacular CG effects, based on Neil Gaiman’s international best-selling book. A young girl (Dakota Fanning) 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 â only much better. But when this wondrously off-kilter, fantastical adventure turns dangerous, and her counterfeit parents (including Other Mother [Teri Hatcher]) try to keep her forever, Coraline must count on her resourcefulness, determination, and bravery to get back home â and save her family.
The cast also includes Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders and Ian McShane. For a teaser trailer, visit this spot.
