Storyline
Eleven-year-old Coraline Jones and her parents, Mel and Charlie, move into an old mansion that has been divided up and is now known as the Pink Palace Apartments. While using a dowsing rod she plucked from a bush in the garden, she meets the landlady’s grandson, Wyborne Lovat, and the feral Black Cat who follows him around. Soon after, Coraline discovers a small door in the living room that is bricked up and can only be unlocked by a button-shaped key.

“I liked the film very much but I found working on it incredibly stressful; I would probably not adapt my own work again - you need to have distance from the book.”
