A dark and creepy film about family relationships directed by Henry Selick of Nightmare Before Christmas and James and the Giant Peach fame, Coraline is based on the haunting book Coraline by Neil Gaiman. The first stop-motion feature shot in stereoscopic 3-D, Coraline features big-headed, stick-bodied animated characters with huge eyes and demonic grins set against menacing backgrounds and an undercurrent of spooky music. Coraline is a teenager who has just moved to an old house in the middle of nowhere with her writer parents and she is bored, bored, bored. Her only companions are an annoyingly talkative boy Wybie (short for Why Born), some eccentric neighbors from the theater and circus, and a strange, button-eyed doll with a marked resemblance to Coraline which Wybie found in an old trunk of his grandmother's. When Coraline finds an old door hidden behind an armoire and papered over with wallpaper, she convinces her mother to unlock it, only to find a wall of bricks. When Coraline revisits the door later that night, the bricks magically disappear and she discovers a strange pathway to another world where everything is just what she wishes for. In stark contrast to the real world where Coraline's parents just don't have time for her, her "Other Mother" and "Other Father" in this alternate world are the perfect loving, attentive parents who anticipate her every need and desire. Initially comforted and quite happy in this new world, suspicion that things may not be quite as they seem grows inside Coraline and her disquiet is furthered by the mute "Other Wybie" and a strange-talking cat that seems to move between both worlds. Eventually, Coraline discovers some dark secrets about her "other parents" and the seemingly perfect "other world," but it may be too late for her to escape back to the real world. Teri Hatcher is especially effective in her dual (voice) role as Mom and "Other Mom" and Dakota Fanning also gives a great performance as Coraline. Coraline is a disturbing, intriguing film that both captivates and frightens. (Ages 11 and older) --Tami Horiuchi

 The Best February 9, 2010
Matt (Corona, CA)
Film (of it's kind) of all time. So much better than The Nightmare Before Christmas. To be honest that movie is kind of overrated. But this one has such a great story line and the colors and animation are fantastic. Plus it looks even better when you watch it in 3D which this includes. It even includes 4 pairs of 3D glasses. You won't be sorry when you buy this movie. It is kind of a creepy movie so I wouldn't recommend little kids watching this movie.
Delightfully deranged,incredibly detailed. February 9, 2010
THATCH (OHIO)
This movie is strange, a lot of fun, and the immaculate detail of the movie is enthralling. One who doesn't even follow the story line can watch this movie and be entertained simply by the scenery. Amazing. Highly recommended.
Amazing Movie! February 9, 2010
Brian D. Rodgers Jr. (Rogers, Arkansas)
This is an amazing movie! Watching this movie on blu-ray version is a truly magical experience. The colors are very vibrant, and the clarity is pristine. It's an wildly entertaining movie that has that mysterious, dark, imaginative quality you would find in movies such as Corpse Bride, Edward Scissor Hands, etc. This is definitely a movie for artists who have a deep appreciation for the dedication it takes to make a movie like this. Watching the behind the scenes features, you will discover that this entire movie was made by hand using stop motion animation. Stop motion has a certain quality that you just can't get out of a pixar movie. It's very organic and is really a hands on approach to 3D movies. Watching this movie in 3D on Blu-ray is far behind watching it on a regular CRT TV. I highly recommend it!
