Coraline is a 2009 American 3D stop-motion animated dark fantasy horror film directed by Henry Selick and based on Neil Gaiman's 2002 novel of the same name. Produced by Laika as its first feature film, Coraline depicts an adventurous girl named Coraline finding an idealized parallel world behind a secret door in her new home, unaware that the alternative world contains a dark and sinister secret.
The film was released in United States theaters on February 6, 2009 by Focus Features after a world premiere at the Portland International Film Festival, and received critical acclaim. The film made $16.85 million during opening weekend, ranking third at the box office, and by the end of its run had grossed over $124 million worldwide. Coraline won Annie Awards for Best Music in an Animated Feature Production, Best Character Design in an Animated Feature Production and Best Production Design in an Animated Feature Production, and received Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations for Best Animated Feature.
What do I remember from the film? There were people and there were identical people but there eyes were buttons cause of some reason. Why were their eyes buttons It is said that the eyes are the window to ones soul. So by the Other Mother taking the children's eyes and sewing buttons there instead is a way for her to keep their souls with her and therefore trapped in the other world. this is why they are suddenly released when the eyes are taken out of the Other World.

The hands are needles so that she can sew easier. The music is childlike music but abit of thrill at the same time. The dull colours reinforce the colors so its more dark. The Mum and Dad don’t really talk because they’re tired.
