From the Director of The Nightmare Before Christmas comes a visually stunning stop-motion animated feature! Coraline Jones is bored in her new home until she finds a secret door that leads her into a world thats just like her ownbut better! But when this fantastical adventure turns dangerous and her other Mother tries to keep her forever, Coraline must count on her resourcefulness and bravery to get home. Critics are hailing Coraline as a remarkable feat of the imagination (Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times). Review: Classic - All my girls have watched this movie! From a young age. They are now 21, 20 & 14 My youngest loves it still to this day! Has done since she was about 4. And easier has watched it, at least 40 times over. 🙃🙊😊 🙃🤦🏾♀️😊 Review: Must see...maybe not the little ones...(semi-spoiler!) - Where to start? Coraline is a film about a girl who discovers a new world after moving into a new house, and later regrets ever finding it. The film is mysterious throughout: You're not sure where she's going to end up or what is going to happen. The characters are all well resembled and easy to relate to, such as the part where Coraline is telling her mum about her poison ivy rash, whilst her mum replies with the sort of sound someone would make when they're not really listening to you. Each character plays a big part in the film, all with different personalities. The film has a moral which is 'appreciate what you have, because when it's gone, you'll wish that you still had it' This is resembled with the relationship between Coraline and her parents. Now for the negative (would have given it 4.5 stars but it wasn't possible). Although this was my favourite film before Frozen, there were some parts which I believe could have been improved. One example is how appropriate the film was to fit PG. At one point, Coraline walks down some stairs and stands there with a tool in her hand. Then, one of the strange characters jumps down from a high balcony, landing with their legs spread apart and the point of the tool nearly touching the part between their legs. This was not necessary. Nor was the part where the 2 old ladies (which turn out to be young ladies, but anyway) perform a mermaid theme play. One of the sisters is not too bad, with seashells worn like Ariel and a mermaid tail. However, the second sister is hardly wearing anything at all, which was definitely not appropriate. The only other thing I could think of is that from some people's perspective, this film could seem depressing, dark and scary. I actually have to agree, and with this said, it is definitely not one for those under the age of about 8 or 9, or if you/your child is sensitive, or easily scared. There are many dark and scary parts in the film, especially when the fake mum's button eyes are ripped off by the cat. Although I do not at all find this scary, others might, and therefore dislike this film. My overall advice: If you like fantasy, adventure and most of all mystery, and not easily scared then this the perfect film for you. If you are the complete opposite to this and like funny, bright films (I like all sorts of films, but I was just using these examples as a reference) then please, do not watch this film!

Coraline - 2D still rules OK over 3D
Coraline was brought as a present for a family member so it was a delight to be able to watch it yesterday, both in 3D and in conventional 2D. The storyline is a great modern fairytale with good characterisation both of Coraline as a teenager with all her foibles, who does good in the end, and her parents. I can fully recommend the DVD for anyone who likes excellent animation with a dark twist but a happy ending. Caution, the 12a certificate is well deserved as younger children could find parts very upsetting. Showing my age, I remember the first 3D films shown at for example the Science Museum and also the 3D picture books that used red and green lenses. The effect worked equally well and impressively with the DVD set up (we used a large screen). The downside to watching in 3D is that the colour range is not as good when viewed through the glasses than the 2D version and there is a bit of eye-strain over time. We watched about a third of the film oo-ing and gasping at some of the 3D effects but then reverted back to the 2D show for the better viewing comfort. The storyline was more important than the effects. Do buy this DVD in the 3D version as it is worth seeing the impact on the film and be ready to enjoy a good modern tale with a strong and satisfying story, whether in 3D or 2D.

Great - except for 3d perhaps?
First of all I'm 22, and male. And I loved this film. It was quite eerie, and the dark undertones were brilliantly conveyed. I think the film itself is absolutely fabulous. My review though is going to be mainly orientated around the blu-ray quality/etc. The blu ray picture is akin to other recent animations like Wall-E... Absolutely fantastic and five star. The 3-D feature though, as has been discussed a few times before, is a bit of a different story. The quality in the 3-D from the original blu ray is amazingly retained - to me it looked as stunning (of course there are colouration issues from the r/g but so far as the actual resolution, etc, it looked as good). However, the 3-D was quite gimmicky. It worked really well in some parts of the film - it gave an amazing added depth perception which was quite cool to see, but in quite a lot of the film (~50/50 in my opinion) its very miss - giving the same appearance as it appeared in 2d blu-ray. I think the way the 3-D has been brought in could have been incorporated to a much better method - though with technology at where it is at now - e.g. waiting to move onto either polarizing glasses or differential TV sets - it might not be entirely important. As a side note - I got this product today after pre-ordering off Amazon like a month ago. Hugely impressed - 2 days before the official release date. All in all I'd strongly recommend this - after picking up my PS3 and 1080p tv I'm really starting to get into genres of films I wouldn't have considered before, for video quality alone, and along the way I'm enjoying the films too. I'd throw Wall-E, Coraline, things like Pan's Labyrinth up there. ----Update: *********** I re-watched Coraline in 3D the same night, and the quality was bundles better than what I observed in the day. The 3D is absolutely stunning quality, and you don't depreciate any of the blu-ray quality when watching it in 3-D, absolutely brilliantly worth it. Watch out for the gravy train scene and the performing mice circus.

Tout nickel! Mais pas lisible sur ma ps3
Livraison soigné et rapide, produit magnifique! Malheureusement ma PS3 ne les lis pas, c’est juste marqué « Invalid Region », je suis en Belgique et je suppose c’est dû aux zones. Sinon, j’ai demandé un remboursement, j’ai déposé le colis à la poste et 3hs après j’ai eu une confirmation de remboursement, je crois ils n’attendent même pas d’avoir le retour, juste la preuve que l’on a envoyé leur suffit, c’est top! Merci pour cette confiance et rapidité de remboursement!

Ein wunderschöner und immer wieder faszinierender Film. Allerdings würde ich ihn nicht für ganz kleine Kinder empfehlen, auch wenn es ein Kinderfilm ist, stellenweise düster.

ご家族そろって楽しめます♪ 愛情の在り方について。
ごめんなさい。長いです〜! 「ナイトメア・ビフォア・クリスマス」以来ストップモーションアニメのファンです。 (長年ティムバートン監督かと思っていました。違ったんですねw) ご家族揃って楽しめる素敵な映画です♪ 傑作ですね! 書いていらっしゃる方もおられるように、 ちょっとコワいシーンもあるので、幼子さんにはご注意ですが、 こんなコワさを好きな子もいるかもです☆ (わたしは魔女よりも別のパパの豹変後の姿が一番こわかった・・w) 原語はもちろん、吹き替えの出来も素晴らしいです。(特に主役はぴったり♪) 購入してもう何回観たかわかりません!(笑) ストップモーションの踊るようなコミカルな動きはもちろん、 美しくも凝った絵画のような背景など、ナイトメア同様観ていて飽きないです。 そして、ストーリーが何より秀逸…!(以下、はじめの方だけネタバレです) コララインの両親は、仕事が忙しくちっともコララインをかまってくれません。 引っ越し先の奇妙で面白そうな人たちも、自分のことで精一杯です。 近所のワイビー少年とは、いつも会話がかみ合いません。 そんな不満渦巻く日常の中、不思議な扉を抜けて、 向こうの世界に行ったコララインを待っていたのは、 理想の家族と理想の家。理想の友達、理想の日常。 しかし、そこにとどまるにはその世界の別のママと 「ある契約」をしなければならなくて・・・。 コララインの心の変化に伴って、日常と別世界の美しい風景が 変化するところも素敵でした。心があって周りがある。そんな映画。 そして、魅力ある登場人物。 特にコラライン、いいです! 生意気でおしゃまな女の子。くるくるとよく動く元気な子。 物語の中で観ている分には、こういう女の子は楽しくて可愛くて大好き! 本当にいたら、さぞかし腹が立つかもしれないけれど(笑) でも、こんな娘がいたら、将来頼もしく思うに違いありませんね。 そしてヒーロー(?)ワイビー少年。 コララインと相対すると自分のアピールに夢中でコララインの話を聞きません。 最初は「冴えないやつだな~。。」とか思ってしまいますがw ホントはコララインの気を引きたいんだよね☆可愛いのです。 「ワイボーン(なぜ生まれた?)」というスゴイ名前、彼にもドラマがいろいろとありそうです。 もうひとり(?)のヒーロー:クロネコさんは文句なくキュートです♪ このお話の中で一番悟っていそうな賢い子です。 素敵な世界なのに、最初からそこはかとなく漂う不気味さ。 「あいつも何かを愛していたいんだろ、」 粋なクロネコさんのドキリとさせられる言葉。ちょっと魔女に同情もした一瞬です。 自分の都合のいいように、言う事を聞く人間のみを愛するという考えや、 相手に愛情を注ぐ代わりに、見返りや犠牲を求めることを コララインは歪んだ愛情とし、「愛し方が間違っている」と否定します。 別のママと素敵な世界の正体は、コララインの中の、 もしくは一部の母親たちの、ひいてはすべての親子の中に潜む エゴの象徴とでもいうべき存在でした。 完璧な人間などいない。理屈では解ってはいても、ついつい自分自身を棚に上げて 自らにとって都合のよい「完璧」を相手に求めてしまう・・・ 他人よりも遠慮がいらない親子という関係であればなおさらかもしれません。 しかし、大多数の親子であれば、そこには他人とは異なる見返りのない「愛情」も存在するはずです。 コララインにもそれがある。また、ママやパパからそれを感じているからこそ、正しい判断が出来ました。 許す・・というとおこがましいですが、愛情があれば思いやりも持てるはず。 相手の立場を慮って理解しようと努める心を 忘れないようにしなくちゃ・・などと、自分への戒めさえしてしまった今作(笑) きれいで楽しい映画というだけではなく、親子の愛情の在り方について、 深く潜って魅せてくれた。わたしにとってはそんな作品でした。 しかし、少し悶々(ワクワクかな?)としてしまうのは、最後まで真っ青な空が見えないこと。 雲は途切れたのに、花曇り。雨の多い春だからと云われればそれまでですが、 なんとな〜く、ラストになってもまだ不思議で素敵な不気味さが漂っているんです。 ラストシーンのコララインのセリフ、「お話したい事がた〜くさんあるんです」。 これからの物語のことも云われたような気がして。 コララインのファンタジーはずっと続く。 次はワイビー少年が主人公かしら?(笑) そんな期待をしてしまうのでした。
