Trivia
The character Wybie Lovat is not in Neil Gaiman's novel. He exists so Coraline would not have to talk to herself and so she would have a friend her age.

Goofs
The house's living room changes places several times throughout the film.

Quotes
Coraline Jones: How can you walk away from something and- still come back to it?
Cat: Walk around the world.
Coraline Jones: Small world.

Crazy credits
At the very end of the credits, the words "For those in the know: jerk wad" appear on the screen. This is a clue that could be used on the Coraline website in order to get an entry in a contest that ran during the movie's US theatrical run.

Alternate versions
There are two versions available. Runtimes are: "1 hr 40 min (100 min), 1 hr 45 min (105 min) (extended cut) (USA)."

Cute.

I had no intention of seeing this, but my friend and I were bored on a Friday night and I had free tickets to a movie theater. The only movie playing at 9:30 at night was Coraline. I had heard of the book before, but I never read it so I didn't know what to expect.

The animation was amazing. Every character looked awesome and had so much detail to them. With the 3-D, nothing really popped out of you, but it just gave it an extra depth that made it more real. I think it was so cool.

The movie was really cute. If you haven't read the book, it'll keep you in suspense. I really enjoyed the movie and recommend you see it. :)
