Coraline (2D Version Only) [DVD] [2009]

This steel book case is just STUNNING in person!!! Like advertised, it has 2 discs, one the 4K Ultra HD edition, and the second disc a standard Blu-Ray. I also adore the photo book that came with this set too!!! Everything is a work of art and it makes me so happy to add this piece of artwork to my movie collection!!! As for the movie itself, I have always LOVED Coraline!!! It is a truly magical stop-motion animation movie!!! The movie is based on the book by Neil Gaiman. It's a one-of-a-kind adventure centered around the main character named Coraline. I would say that this movie would be perfect for older children, since some elements of the movie may be considered too scary or "mature" for certain audiences. As a parent, I would watch it on your own first if you're worried about content before you show it to your children. It's a classic movie in my opinion and I was able to watch it at 10 years old when it first came out and loved it!!! Then again I don't scare easily and I love quirky movies like this. It's a fun movie for the whole family to watch because it has the perfect balance childlike wonder and what it's like to be an adult. Long story short, if you're a mega fan of "Coraline" then you most definitely need this to add to your collection!!! It exceeded my expectations!!!

This review is for the Blu-ray 3-D version (not the anaglyph, not the regular DVD) of Coraline. For whatever reason, Amazon lumps all the reviews on a given movie together. I wasn't sure about Coraline. I'm a 40 year old guy with a big Samsung 3-D TV and a surround setup, and I love a good movie as much as the next guy, but when a friend insisted that this was the movie she wanted to see, I was a bit taken aback. Coraline? What's it about? Could I get into it? Is it another in a long line of these totally CG movies like "Shrek" and "Cars"? Turns out the answers are yes, anyone could get into it; and no, it's not just another Pixar/Disney/RenderMan product. Coraline is a partly CG, but mostly stop-motion feature film, with real puppets (Coraline herself had "hundreds of heads," I am informed, and a special seamstress was employed to sew her tiny outfits.) Stop motion is a tricky business at best and a crew of hundreds were employed for years to bring the awesome - and they succeeded. As other reviewers have noted the film is a visual feast, and it displays a very personal, very idiosyncratic visual style which coheres through the whole film. Plot-wise, the film is very classic fantasy - reminded me of Pan's Labyrinth, just a little bit. A young girl, depressed by her distant parents who are busy with troubles of their own, retreats into a fantasy world where things are not what they seem - and then things take a malignant turn. No point in spoilering it - it's a classic plot and it's played out beautifully, the timing and the three-act structure are just superb. If you are an adult who can stand a fairy tale - there is a talking cat - you will absolutely love it. Despite the fairy-tale veneer, though, this is not for young children - no sex, but there is some real horror going on and I don't think I'd expose anyone much under the age of 12 to it, maybe a very resilient and worldly-wise 11 year old, but no younger. The 3-D is incredible - I am reviewing the HDMI 1.4a Blu-Ray 3-D, not the color-based anaglyph. My TV does 240 Hz with active-shutter and I have never seen a better use of 3-D; it was like looking through a window into a real world, or a shadowbox at least - both I and my friend soon forgot we were even watching a 3-D movie, it was just a seamless part of the experience. The voice acting, music, and surround sound were also technically and emotionally excellent, just examples of perfectly executed filmmaking at a very high level. I rarely say this, but I am quite certain I will watch this movie again and again and I will take great delight in showing it to friends. If you have a 3-D TV and have any interest at all in viewing this flick after this review, the best thing you can do is stop reading and go click 'Buy It Now'. You are going to love it.

Love this movie!! I usually don’t like movies made like this but I watched it and loved it & have watched it several times since buying it. It gives you a weird eerie feeling & it’s very interesting at the same time & id love to see a Coraline part 2!!

Good movie. Very strange but worth the watch.
