Director: Henry Selick Kids today are force-fed a stream of sugar-coated animation, filled with formulaic, unfunny jokes, often in 3-D. It's no surprise, then, that this latest eye-catching offering is low on laughs. But hold your horses, there, skeptical cinemagoer: Coraline is a creepy, disturbing affair, which tingles your spine in a most uncomfortable way. Yes, this is an old-school fairy tale. That's a good thing. Presuming you're not 9 years old. Coraline (Fanning) lives a dull life, neglected by her work-focussed parents (Hatcher and Hodgman). In a new home, surrounded by strange neighbours, she dreams of a better place, like most kids would. The difference is that she finds it, hidden behind a secret door upstairs.
