Welcome to Film For Friday!

Maybe it's too late, but I really like this movie, so I think it deserves to be reviewed.

Coraline is the story about a young lady that feels bored and neglected by her parents. Her parents are freelance writer. They are just move to an old house named Pink Palace Apartment.

They neighbours are weird, a magician named Mr. Bobinsky, sisters named Miriam and April as stage artist, and fussy boy named Wyborn who gives her a doll that looks like Coraline. And a weird black cat.

One day, Coraline finds a small door with a wall behind it. At night, she finds out that the wall behind the door disappeared and turn into a colourful tunnel. Curious, she goes through it and finds that there is the same house with hers. All the people in that other world opposite to the real world, as well as the Other Mother and Other Father that cares about her than her real parents. Coraline really likes to live there. One thing different from all the people is they have button eyes.
