A young girl walks through a secret door in her new home and discovers an alternate version of her life. On the surface, this parallel reality is eerily similar to her real life - only much better. But when this wondrously off-kilter, fantastical adventure turns dangerous, and her counterfeit parents (including Other Mother) try to keep her forever, Coraline must count on her resourcefulness, determination, and bravery to get back home - and save her family.m (Focus Features)

Once again I saw this in 2D. Given the amount of high reviews for this I expected a great deal and was very disappointed. The pace is much too slow, seemingly taking forever to get through the set-up but when it does get there the whole thing picks up and ends well. I feel bad giving it this score considering the years of toil involved and the overall design.
