Coraline (US - DVD R1 | BD RA)
Universal reveals artwork for the DVD and Blu-ray releases of the movie
Title: Coraline (IMDb)
Starring: N/A (Animation)
Released: 21st July 2009
SRP: $34.98 (2-Disc DVD)
Further Details:
Universal has announced 1-disc DVD ($29.98), 2-disc DVD ($34.98), and 2-disc Blu-ray ($39.98) releases of Coraline for the 21st July. Each edition will include 2-D and 3-D versions of the film, along with four pairs of 3-D glasses. The only extra material on the 1-disc DVD will be a commentary with director Henry Selick and Composer Bruno Coulais. The 2-disc releases will include that, along with deleted scenes, featurettes ("The Making of Coraline", "Voicing the Characters"), and a digital copy of the film. The Blu-ray release will also include an additional featurette ("Creepy Coraline"), as well as U-Control and BD-Live features.
Quote: 11-year-old Coraline Jones (voiced by Dakota Fanning) has just moved with her parents (Teri Hatcher and John Hodgman) to a new home in Oregon. With no friends and her parents distracted by work, the feisty and adventurous Coraline sets out to find some excitement in her isolated new environment. She is befriended—or, as she sees it, pestered—by a local boy close to her age, Wybie Lovat (Robert Bailey Jr.) and visits her older neighbors, eccentric British actresses Miss Spink and Miss Forcible (Jennifer Saunders and Dawn French) as well as the arguably even more eccentric Russian, Mr. Bobinsky (Ian McShane). Just as she’s beginning to think her new home is utterly uninteresting, she uncovers a secret door which leads to a parallel existence much like her own life—but much better. The adults, including the solicitous Other Mother (also voiced by Teri Hatcher) welcome her warmly. And Coraline gets far more attention there—even from the mysterious Cat (Keith David). She begins to think that this Other World might be where she truly belongs. But when her wondrously off-kilter, fantastical visit turns dangerous, Coraline must summon all her resourcefulness, determination and courage to get back home—and save her real family.

ok let's hope we get a shiny slipcase with that wonderful artwork.
Ugh those f**king Digital Copies again! Give it up!
Bluray + DVD AND a Digital copy? If I had a bluray player, I would buy it, keep the one disc and send the other 2 back to universal asking for partial refund for the trash they shoved in there with the real thing.
Decent movie though. Not as good as NBC but still held up.

I didn't see this in the cinema as mine didn't provide a 3-D screening. The film received some good reviews, I'm looking forward to seeing the 3-D bluray version.
Has anyone watched a 3-D bluray before? I'd be interested to know the quality of it. Haven't seen one myself yet.

I liked this movie. I wouldn't buy it(will rent once) but it was really good. It's taking a little while to come out though. Not terribly long but movies are usually faster at coming out than this one
I LOVED this movie. Cant wait to get the Blu-ray. Awesome cover.
hmmmm... thats strange, there is no indication to the 4 Pairs of 3D Glasses that it was suppose to include, at least there was an ad or a bad source saying it was going to include a pair of glasses. I guess not. Anyhow, am glad Universal decided to stick to the theatrical poster art for the BD version, cause obviously the single disc DVD art is hoooooooorrendous.

One of the BEST movies of the year...loved it!
Blu-ray + DVD + Digital Copy: Glad the Disney frenzy is catching up with other studios as well. That was the second movie to be released in 3D over here (the first being Monsters Vs. Aliens). Coraline is superb. Bring on 'Up'.
They really want to miiiiiiilk the Nightmare Before Christmas for all it's worth, ay?
I just watched this last night. Thought it was really good, but not great. Definitely gonna get the Blu-ray because it comes with all of the bonus stuff. Glad the BD is the one with the awesome cover art. The single disc isn't TOO bad, but not as good as the original poster.
AWESOME! It was a great movie. The BD looks superb!
should be a top contender for the Best Animated Feature Oscar from what people say about this film. First day purchase for me 
This is a really great film and I am happy to see that it's getting the treatment it deserves on DVD and Blu-ray. I think all the covers are great and I will definitely be buying the blu-ray!
Best movie so far this year. I'll be picking up the Blu Ray. Including a DVD with the Blu Ray is a good idea but the digital copy thing has to stop. That actually disuades me from buying a movie, tbh.
This movie blew the overrated (but still good) "Nightmare Before Christmas" out of the water. But then, they're very different kinds of movies, so the comparison isn't all that warranted. I thought it was going to be good, but was pleasantly surprised: I felt like "Coraline" was one of the best animated movies I've ever seen!
Such a beautiful film. One of those movies that you pick up on new things with multiple viewings.
Read lots of good stuff about, might be getting the blu-ray if it`s gonna be region free
OMG! I LOVE THAT MOVIE. Yeah it was a bit slow at times and ran a bit long but I thought the whole thing got better as time went along. It still is one of the best movies of the year and let's hope "Up" lives up to that hype.
What flippin' ugly 1-Disc art.
Anyway, I'll rent it. Seemed good.

amazing little movie
Only just getting released in cinemas here now....
Blu ray will look amazing. Is it just me or should it have been in 3-d?
there is a 2D version and 3D version on it so it is in 3D. Otherwise i have no idea what you mean?
BD is so mine lol. Digital Copy bulls**t again? Really? Seriously? Who wants that BS. Just make it sold separate.
