Wandering her rambling old house in her boring new town, 11-year-old Coraline discovers a hidden door to a strangely idealized version of her life. In order to stay in the fantasy, she must make a frighteningly real sacrifice.
Editor's Verdict
"Coraline contains almost no elements of Christmas in setting, plot, or theme. While it deals with themes of family and finding belonging, these are central to the horror/fantasy premise, not tied to the holiday season. The narrative takes place during the period when the family moves into the new house, which is not specified as Christmas time."
