CoralineBy Neil Gaiman
Coraline can’t help but explore her new flat the day after she and her parents move in. Her curiosity is piqued by its fourteen doors, one of which is locked. When she manages to open the mysterious door, a passageway leads Coraline to another flat that looks eerily like her own, but has sinister differences. Awaiting Coraline are a mother and father with scary black buttons for eyes, who are more than eager to make her their own -- for good. A hair-raising adventure is in store for Coraline as attempts to free herself from this gruesome world in The New York Times bestseller Coraline.
about the movieFor the last three years, the world’s oddest and most talented animators, artisans, and puppet fabricators have been hand-making LAIKA’s first animated feature film, Coraline. Led by Henry Selick, the director of The Nightmare Before Christmas and James and the Giant Peach, this team has created the first stop-motion feature shot in stereoscopic 3D. Based on the beloved best-selling children’s classic by Neil Gaiman, Coraline is a fairy-tale nibhtmere steeped in classic storytelling, craftsmanship, and the old-fashoned art of moviemaking magic. In Coraline, a young girl walks through a secret door in her new home and discovers an alternate version of her life - a better version. But when this wonderously off-kilter, fantastical adventure turns dangerous and her “Other” parents try to keep her forever, Coraline must count on her resourcesfulness, determination, and bravery to get back home.
excerpt from the bookCoraline discovered the door a little while after they moved into the house. It was a very old house -- it had an attic under the roof and a cellar under the ground and an overgrown garden with huge old trees in it. Coraline's family didn't own all of the house, it was too big for that. Instead they owned part of it. There were other people who lived in the old house.
