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

 A weird movie! March 15, 2010

I thought that this was a really weird movie. It was creepy, and reminded me of a bad dream that I couldn't wake up from. I almost left the theatre. I would recommend not buying this movie.
 Quite remarkably boring for such a collection of talents March 12, 2010

One of the reviewers (I apologize for not remembering the name) said a phrase that describes that movie to perfection : "frenetic and boring at the same time" Could not agree more. It is simply amazing what happens to a - superficially - great animation with great actors behind the characters in the absence of the magic genius and black humor, like Tim Burton's. What could have been a darkly beautiful and gripping story, turns into boring predictable didactics...
Great non-saccharine film for kids March 9, 2010

What an absolutely incredible movie. The animation is superb, the story is very intriguing (though I found the last 30 minutes to be a little bit disappointing), and it has enough edge to it to keep the cooler kids interested. I wish it was about 10 minutes shorter, but that is a small complaint.
Some people will have issue with the darker aspects of it and with the scantilly clad "Moulin Rogue" act performed by the eccentric neighbors, but it's completely harmless fun for the non-prudish crowd. My four year old girl LOVES this movie, and I think the character of Coraline (a strong, confidant , smart, and independent young girl who isn't a brat but isn't annoyingly perfect either) is wonderful.
The 2D version looks SOOOO much better than the 3D, and is so crystal clear that I can't imagine why anyone would want to watch the 3D version, with it's blurry effects and awful color distortion.
 Digital copy problem March 3, 2010

hi. i love this box set.
my only problem: when i got it, however, the little paper with the digital copy code was missing. i ended up clicking the help option on the dvd menu & sending an email to the company that way. in a few days they emailed the digital code to me.

Inappropriate for young children! March 3, 2010

I decided to watch this cartoon b/c my son (3 yrs old) already seen it twice. I found it offensive, inappropriate and "dark". The way they had the woman almost naked, what was that for? It's NOT child friendly cartoon. What is the message? Evil!!!
