Why The Willoughbys Fans Will Like It: Harry Selick’s Coraline is another adaptation that shares similar themes with The Willoughbys.
Filled with spooky surprises and wondrous visuals, Coraline is a wonderfully dark family film, one that isn’t as consistently funny as The Willougbys but shares its similarly unconventional perspective.
What It’s About: A young girl discovers a strange alternate version of her home, but she soon discovers that it holds dark secrets.
Children will often accept creepier, even scarier stories when they’re presented in an agreeable way.
