Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe character Wybie Lovat is not in Neil Gaiman's novel. He exists so Coraline would not have to talk to herself and so she would have a friend her age.
- GoofsThe house's living room changes places several times throughout the film.
- Quotes
Coraline Jones: How can you walk away from something and- still come back to it?
Cat: Walk around the world.
Coraline Jones: Small world.
- Crazy creditsAt the very end of the credits, the words "For those in the know: jerk wad" appear on the screen. This is a clue that could be used on the Coraline website in order to get an entry in a contest that ran during the movie's US theatrical run.
- Alternate versionsThere are two versions available. Runtimes are: "1 hr 40 min (100 min), 1 hr 45 min (105 min) (extended cut) (USA)."

Featured review
Henry Selick, the director of " The Nightmare Before Christmas" and "James and the Giant Peach", once again takes us to a world full of imagery and wonder...but this time...some of it is actually frightening. It was filled with such magic and enchantment that I completely forgot that it was a dark tale..until the occasional scares filled the air. It has some highly fun and amusing characters in it also, and that is the strongest thing of the movie. After viewing it, I came to the conclusion it was basically an "Alice in Wonderland" tale (girl entering new and strange world, plus the cat that talks makes it obvious) but this world has a dark twist. Filled with a great cast and terrific visionary, I feel this movie is fun for all ages (who says kiddos shouldn't be scared?)
