Coraline is produced by arrangement with Creative Artists Agency, New York, NY.
Young Coraline Jones has just moved with her parents into an old house and is bored by her colorless surroundings and her busy parents. Coraline discovers a secret door that leads to a parallel world, but with one key difference: all the grownups have black buttons for eyes. This new world seems to offer all she wants: parents who are keenly interested in her, toys that sing and dance, neighbors who get her name right. But as this parallel world becomes increasingly unsettling, Coraline must learn the true meaning of bravery to save her parents and herself.
