Plot

11-year-old Coraline Jones moves into the Pink Palace Apartments in Ashland, Oregon with her busy parents, Mel and Charlie Jones. When Coraline does all her tasks her parents asked her to do, she goes to meet her neighbors, Mr. Bobinsky, and Miss Spink & Miss Forcible. After the ladies tell her about an old well not far from the house grounds, Coraline decides to find it by using a dowsing rod. While searching, she meets an odd boy named Wybie Lovat, and it would appear that Wybie has a crush on her. Although Coraline found Wybie annoying, he showed her where the well was. After returning home (shown to be the next day), we see her busy parents Mel and Charlie. The next night Coraline goes to sleep in her new bedroom. She then wakes up hearing a strange noise and sees a mouse in her bedroom. Thinking its one of Mr. Bobinsky's mice, she chases it to the parlor of her home and finds a small door. She enters through the door into another world, a world where everyone has buttons for eyes. Coraline soon discovers that the Other Mother wants to sew buttons into her eyes and keep her forever. What will Coraline do to get her parents (and the eyes of three ghost children) back safe and sound?
