Peekaboo! 🍬 Laika’s beloved stop-motion animation classic Coraline is playing in cinemas again this week – celebrating its 15th Anniversary with a theatrical (3D) re-release.

Directed by Henry Selick, the story follows the young Coraline who discovers an idealized alternate universe behind a secret door in her new home, unaware that it contains something dark & sinister. The Portland-based stop-motion studio recently ran a special promo contest – asking fans to create and submit their own live-action versions of any scene from Coraline.
