    A horror story for kids, taking elements from many classic kids tales, about a girl who finds a secret doorway to another world in her new house where a witch tries to capture her and her parents but the brave girl fights back. Great 3D animation and well produced by the director of James and Giant Peach: this could almost be another Roald Dahl story.

    Coraline is a nice idea & keeps you watching for that alone. The animation though is superb & intricate.

    Enjoyed it - not sure how my kids would have felt about it if they would have seen it as kids.

    Interesting story and fabulous animation. Not your usual animated feature -- a bit darker than I expected.
