Coraline

Animated Feature Films

Coraline is a 2009 stop-motion animated film directed by Henry Selick, adapted from Neil Gaiman's novella of the same name, following a young girl who discovers a hidden passage to an alternate version of her family and home that at first seems idyllic but proves sinister. Produced by Laika, the film was one of the first stop-motion features made using stereoscopic 3D throughout production, and it received extensive critical praise for its intricate handmade production design. Coraline is widely regarded as a landmark of modern stop-motion animation and a major factor in establishing Laika as a leading studio in the medium.
