CORALINE SNEAK PEEK WEEK - Day 3: The Story of Coraline

Here is part three of a week-long preview of Henry Selick's newest movie, "Coraline", shown exclusively by Rotten Tomatoes.

In this featurette, Henry Selick and writer Neil Gaiman describes Coraline's unusual tale. She lives a life that's way too normal and her parents ignore her, when she finds a small, bricked-off door in the den. However, at midnight, it turns into a portal to another version of her house where everything is wonderful and magical, and she has more idealized copies of her parents that lavish attention on her and are much better cooks. However, she soon realizes that it's a trap set by the Other Mother to ensnare her and take her soul.

"Coraline" is adapted from an award-winning novel by Neil Gaiman, enchanting yet chilling. Henry Selick details how he is treating his story with his own stop-motion genius.

why did the other father(with button eyes) become so fat nearly the end?

[UberMan5000]

The Other Mother punished him for helping Coraline out, I think.

[PurpleMysticDew]

I wish I had an Other Mother.

My mom's fat and her food is total SHET.

I'd let my Other Mother sew buttons in MY eyes any day. ☻_☻

[UberMan5000]

I'm sure Coraline felt the same way. :P

[DarkLink9393]

The pathway leading into the other world reminds me of Giygas's lair for some reason.

[UberMan5000]

It reminds me more of the little door from "Being John Malkovich".

[TheLastHylianTitan]

Coraline has more guts than I do. if I saw a version of my mother with button eyes, i would have gone home immediately and sealed the door with everyhging i could find.

[xoxMANIMExox]

It looks like John Saw and Cruella de Vil's long lost child X_X

[Windwakerzelda99]

@PurpleMysticDew She would EAT YOUR SOUL. Do you know what you're saying?!

[dlanref55]

@_@

[dlanref55]

hello coraline is a girl

[cwfunnies]

@littleficky if you look at the end, he has the body of a pumpkin. the other mother called him pumpkin. that's why

[ugippo]

@littleficky she did punish by turning him into her "pumpkin"

[panpanic]

@littleficky because the whole was falling a part so i think its like a cinderella thing

the other mother made the other father out of a pumkin and as things go wrong the carriage turns back into a pumkin

[valeriema525]

@littleficky or because the other father is actually a pumpkin

[jimmyjoefro]

he was a transformed pumpkin

[2010coralinefan]

0:20 Ouch and he was just trying to help her.
