Coraline

"Coraline," a stop-motion animation adaptation of Neil Gaiman's dark fantasy, is the story of an adolescent girl (voiced by Dakota Fanning) who escapes boredom through her own version of Alice's rabbit hole. It's a classic fairy tale with a contemporary sensibility and a spooky horror under the candy-house fantasy, a gorgeous and imaginative storybook fantasy with nightmare echoes – think Dr. Seuss by way of Edward Gorey – all executed with the creative flair and painstaking detail that Henry Selick brought to "The Nightmare Before Christmas." The film was presented in "Real 3D" in select theaters, and both the DVD and Blu-ray editions feature 2-D and 3-D versions of the movie, with four pairs of 3-D glasses with magenta/green lenses. It's a poor substitute for the polarized lenses of theatrical 3-D and puts a strain on the eyes, but it's the best we've got for home video. Selick packs in more information than you'd think possible in a single commentary track, and the 36-minute "The Making of Coraline" explores the techniques and the physical process of making a stop-motion film in 3-D without losing the sense of wonder and magic in the film. Also includes two brief featurettes and deleted scenes.
