If you’re wondering what you’d look like with button eyes, it’s easy to find out. The Coraline movie website has a Button Your Eyes page where you can upload your picture or use your webcam, and then drag a pair of buttons to cover your eyes. There are several styles available, and you can use zoom to change the size. There are several different picture frames to complete the look, and you can publish your finished creation, or download it, e-mail it or post it to Facebook or another site.

There are lots of other cool, interactive features on the Coraline site, so take some time to explore the house, design a flower for Coraline’s garden, watch the Mouse Circus and much more!
