Based on Neil Gaiman’s international best-selling book and helmed by The Nightmare Before Christmas director Henry Selick, is the first high definition, stop-motion animated feature to be shot in 3-D. In the film, a young girl (voiced by 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--only much better. But when this wondrously off-kilter, fantastical adventure turns dangerous, and her counterfeit other mother (voiced by Teri Hatcher) tries to keep her forever, Coraline must count on her stubborn determination, bravery, the aid of her neighbours and a talking black cat to save her real parents and some ghost children and to get back home.

Borderline creepy but fun movie for older kids
I used to watch this with my son when he was younger, and recently he and his girlfriend rented this to watch again. He's 18 now and she's 16. I always thought it was kind of a fun movie, sometimes borderline creepy but definitely interesting and an adventure. It's not for real little kids that's for sure - they just won't understand some of the dramatic mystical scenes. Not sure really how to describe it. I didn't find anything about it disturbing but recommend child be 10 or older.
