Coraline is a 2009 American stop-motion animated dark fantasy horror film written, directed and co-produced by Henry Selick and based on the 2002 novella by Neil Gaiman. Produced by Laika, it stars the voices of Dakota Fanning, Teri Hatcher, Jennifer Saunders, Dawn French and Ian McShane. Eleven-year-old Coraline Jones and her parents, Charlie and Mel, move from Pontiac, Michigan, into the Pink Palace Apartments, an old Victorian house in Ashland, Oregon. While searching for an old well, she meets a black cat and the landlady's grandson, Wybie, who gives her a doll that eerily resembles her. With her parents busy with work, Coraline explores the house and discovers a small door in the living room, with a brick wall behind it, that is unlocked with a button-shaped key. Behind it she finds an idealized alternate universe, unaware that it contains something dark and sinister. As Gaiman was finishing his novella, he met Selick and invited him to make a film adaptation. Selick brought in Japanese illustrator Tadahiro Uesugi as concept artist, and the animation was produced in a warehouse in Hillsboro, Oregon. Coraline premiered at the Portland International Film Festival on February 5, 2009, and was released in the United States on February 6 by Focus Features. It was nominated for Best Animated Feature at the Academy Awards.
