Coraline is an upcoming animated stop-motion film based on Neil Gaiman's novella of the same name.
Coraline is a young, bored girl who discovers that bricked-up wall behind a door in her flat leads to another world, with another mother, and another father.
Laika Entertainment House (formerly Vinton Studios) has funded the film with around $50 to $70 million. It will be animated and co-directed by Henry Selick and Mike Cachuela and finished in early Christmas 2008.[1] It is the first stop-motion animation to be shot stereoscopically with a dual digital camera rig for digital 3-D exhibition.[2] Dakota Fanning will star as the voice of Coraline. Teri Hatcher will lend her voice to the roles of both Coraline's Mother and her Other Mother. Ian McShane will voice Mr. Bobinski, a beet-eating Russian giant who lives upstairs from Coraline in her alternate reality.
Focus Features will distribute the film. The soundtrack will be provided by the rock group They Might Be Giants.
