Our resident Coraline expert…

In this episode of Just That Film Podcast, we step through the secret door to revisit Coraline (2009), the visually stunning stop-motion fantasy horror from LAIKA that has become a modern animated classic.

Based on Neil Gaiman’s bestselling novel and directed by Henry Selick, Coraline follows a curious young girl who discovers a mysterious parallel world that appears perfect at first… until its dark secrets begin to emerge. Featuring the voices of Dakota Fanning, Teri Hatcher, Jennifer Saunders, Dawn French, Ian McShane, Keith David, John Hodgman, and Robert Bailey Jr., the film masterfully blends fantasy, horror, and adventure.

We discuss the breathtaking stop-motion animation, Henry Selick’s imaginative direction, Bruno Coulais’ haunting score, unforgettable character design, and why Coraline continues to captivate audiences of all ages. From the terrifying Other Mother to its beautiful visual storytelling, it’s a film that’s as enchanting as it is unsettling.

Nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, Coraline has grown into one of the most beloved and influential animated films of the 21st century.
