Put on your 3D specs for a fun-filled, animated journey into a parallel world.

Just when you thought you'd seen everything possible at the movies, filmmaker Henry Selick (The Nightmare Before Christmas) has created a groundbreaking stop-motion feature in stereoscopic 3D. Based on a children's story by Neil Gaiman, Coraline is a surreal fairytale about a young girl who travels through a secret door in her home to other worlds. The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, thinks Coraline - but is it?

Don't miss the amazing Mr Bobinsky (voiced by Ian McShane of Deadwood) with his trained circus of mice, or the English comic duo Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders as a pair of ex-dance hall luvies with a fetish for Scottie dogs!

“The first contemporary film in which the 3D experience feels intrinsic to the story instead of a Godforsaken gimmick… a remarkable feat of imagination.” - Los Angeles Times
