Celebrate Halloween with the 15th anniversary of Coraline, a beautifully animated film from director Henry Selick (The Nightmare Before Christmas, James and the Giant Peach) that will thrill children and adults alike! After moving to the Pink Palace apartments, dejected 11-year-old Coraline discovers a hidden door that leads to the Other World, where she encounters doppelgängers of everyone she knows at Pink Palace, identical to their real world counterparts except for the fact that they actually want to spend time with Coraline—and, of course, the giant buttons they have for eyes. As Coraline spends time in the Other World, she begins to suspect that things aren’t quite what they seem, and the Other Mother—the doppelgänger of Coraline’s mother—may have sinister motives of her own.
