From the visionary imagination of filmmaker Henry Selick and Universal Studios Home Entertainment, Coraline arrives on DVD in a 2-Disc Collector’s Edition, and M&C is giving away three copies!

Based on the award-winning novel by Newbery Medal winner Neil Gaiman (The Graveyard Book, Sandman) Coraline is a remarkable handmade, stop-motion animated feature film and arrives with both the 2-D and 3-D versions of the film and four pairs of 3-D glasses.

The 2-Disc Collector’s Edition DVD also include a digital copy of the movie, as well as an astounding array of bonus features that take you inside the intricate hand-crafted world of this incredibly unique film. 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.Coraline also features an enchanting musical score by Bruno Coulais (Winged Migration, The Chorus).
