Damn, I know, I'd be all over some of those if I had that kinda cash.

Just saw it today. I like Gaiman, but never read the book, but I really liked the film. Very dark and scary - I would have loved to have seen this as a 6 year old - I'm sure it would have terrified me (in a good way). The script was very layered and intricate - like much of Gaiman's writing, but very unusual for a kid's movie.
And the Arclight had the front porch set and a Coraline puppet on display - the detail is amazing.

Good to hear you liked it Dave. I haven't had a chance to see it yet, but will be seeing it for sure tomorrow.
Coraline is the reason I go to the movies. Just incredibly imaginative...! I absolutely love stop/go animation when done like this....I loved the movie!

Went to see this yesterday and I LOVED it!! I was a bit upset when we walked in the theater and all the good seats were taken, I thought sitting up close was gonna ruin the experience, boy was I wrong! From the moment it started I was sucked in to Coraline's world, the 3D effects had a lot to do with that, but it is also brilliantly written, animated and voiced. I thought Dakota Fanning and Teri Hatcher were especially good, but the whole cast was also great. I had very high expectations for this movie and I can say that it did not disappoint at all, Selick did a fantastic job with it and to me it ranks right up there with NBX. Take your wife, your kids, go alone, just go see this movie!!

We saw it on Saturday night. It was FANTASTIC, everyone should go see this film. Easily the best "children's" film since NBX, mainly because the writing is sophisticated and doesn't insult younger viewers' intelligences like many other "family" films.
Now where's my Medicom Coraline figure?

Oooh, I'd love a Coraline figure!! Medicom is great with the skinny bodies, so I know they could totally pull one off!!

I didn't get to see it in 3D, but I did see it yesterday with my wife and daughter (she's 4). It was awesome! I'm always glad to see someone still does it the old-fashioned way. CG is nice, but there's something appealing about the characters movements not being perfect. As a Nightmare fan, I had high hopes for this and I was not disappointed!

I ordered these after seeing the movie - they look just like the puppets that were used. Hopefully they'll do more characters.

Those look pretty cool. I might have to buy some for my daughter if she's interested.

Holy crap, I just got back from this movie....First thing to get off of my chest...whoever wrote this story must have been dropping some serious acid tabs 
As for the movie, i didnt know what to expect going in, but coming out I couldnt help but to feel like "what was the point of this 1 hr 40 min film?".

I'm happy to see that this is still doing well at the box office! It came in 3rd this week, only 400k behind Taken.

sweeeeeet
is about time the 3d transfers got included along with the 2d versions.
Everytime I've seen Beowulf since seeing it in 3d i feel like there's something missing.
