"Coraline" is a 2009 American stop-motion animated dark fantasy horror film directed by Henry Selick and based on Neil Gaimans novella of the same name). The story follows Coraline Jones, an 11-year-old girl who discovers a hidden door in her new home that leads to an alternate version of her life with an "Other Mother" and "Other Father" who seem perfect but are actually sinister. As the story progresses, Coraline must use her resourcefulness, determination, and bravery to escape the Other Mothers grasp and save her family. The film has been interpreted in various ways, but one of the most prevalent readings is that it is about abuse and generational trauma, with Coralines relationship with her parents and the Other Mother serving as metaphors for these themes. The film was produced by LAIKA, the studios first feature film, and features the voice talents of Dakota Fanning, Teri Hatcher, Jennifer Saunders, Dawn French, Keith David, John Hodgman, Robert Bailey Jr., and Ian McShane).
