It's more or less impossible for me, anyway, to be scared by 3-D animation. One of the rooms of the house has insects bigger than Coraline who act as living furniture. Bobinsky ( Ian McShane), a sometime vaudevillian who has a troupe of trained mice. Their house, which looks like Coraline's own, has two old ladies ( Jennifer Saunders and Dawn French) in the basement, boarders who seem in retirement from subtly hinted careers in the adult-entertainment industry. The Other Mother and Father (voices of Teri Hatcher and John Hodgman, who are also Father and Mother) essentially want to steal Coraline from her real but distracted parents and turn her into some kind of a Stepford daughter.

Her new friend, Wybie (Robert Bailey Jr.), is a young hunchback whose full name is Wyborn, and it doesn't take Coraline long to wonder why his parents named him that. Selick creates an entirely original look and feel, uses the freedom of animation to elongate his characters into skeletal spectres looming over poor Coraline. The ideal audience for this film would be admirers of film art itself, assuming such people exist. I've heard of eating chocolate-covered insects, but not when they're alive. The 3-D creates a gloomier image (take off the glasses and the screen is bright), but then this is a gloomy film with weird characters doing nasty things. "Coraline" is the new film by Henry Selick, who made "The Nightmare Before Christmas" (1993) and again combines his mastery of stop-motion and other animation with 3-D.

All she needs to stay there is to have buttons sewn into her own eye sockets. That's why she recklessly enters the tunnel and finds her Other Mother and Other Father waiting with roast chicken and a forced cheerfulness. They're busy, distracted, bickering and always hunched over their computers. Not that Coraline's own parents are all that great.
