Koumpounophobia n fear or aversion of buttons
Already in cinemas, Coraline has been adapted from Neil Gaiman's best-selling book. It looks great, it's dark and it's a little bit scary in places, which will come as no surprise to those familiar with the work of Henry Selick, director of The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Coraline is the first ever feature length film to be shot entirely in stop-motion, spectroscopic 3-D. This labour intensive process required 512 photographs for each second of moving picture.
The cast includes: Dakota Fanning, Teri Hatcher, Keith David, Robert Bailey Jr., John Hodgman, Jennifer Saunders, Dawn French and Ian McShane.
Coraline is in cinemas now, rated: PG.
"The Other Mother", Philip Pullman on Neil Gaiman's book.
