This has been my favorite movie for A LONG TIME it is so unique and full of life and i have bought a ton of merchandise it is just unbelievably amazing. it starts of with a girl who is bored in her new home. her parents are neglective and pay little to no attention to her. she starts exploring and finds a door she asks her mom about and she said she would open it if she left her alone to work. her parents work on a garden catalog. when she opened it. it was covered with bricks. once she went upstairs to sleep she heard a little squeak she follows the mouse downstairs into the door. she opens the door expecting the mouse to be trapped. but in the door was a purple and blue tunnel. as she climbed through it, astonished she ended up back in the living room. except something was off. she walked into the kitchen and her "mother" was in the kitchen. confused, Coraline asked her what she was doing. and she turned around and she had button eyes. she announced herself as the other mother. it just gets better from there. this film is just astonishing
