A Handmade Fairy Tale
‘Coraline’ is about a young girl that wanders through a secret door in her home and discovers “Other World,†a dangerous alternate reality that mimics her own life. When Other World threatens to take over, Coraline relies on her own bravery and determination to save her family and herself.
“I think kids today are out of touch with Grimm’s Fairy Tales,†says ‘Coraline’ director and writer, Henry Selick.
So, he made a film for what he calls, “brave children.â€
Selick has crafted a remarkable, cautionary film that is imbued with the very best of Grimm’s sensibilities. It is also an animation milestone, being the first stop-motion animated feature to be conceived and filmed in 3-D.
