Summary: Digital Copy didnt work
Comment: I ordered this DVD last year, it worked fine (3D is a waste of time though).
I recently bought an apple TV and decided to download my digital copy.
iTunes told me it was already redeemed.
I contacted the seller and they never responded.
SO,
If you want a working digital copy, DO NOT USE THIS VENDOR!

Summary: Coraline
Comment: My kids absolutely love this movie! They are boys 14 and 6. The Coraline (Blu-ray/DVD Combo + Digital Copy w/ 3D) was a great value. I added the movie to my son's IPOD, so he can watch it anytime.

Summary: Brilliant Animated Flick
Comment: I absolutely loved this movie when I saw it for the first time on TV. I decided to go out and purchase it and bought this blu-ray set. I love all of the extra features that comes with it and the 3D glasses as well. They're only cardboard glasses but they can still work if you choose to wear them. I personally have only worn them for a few minutes and they seemed to be decent, but I prefer to watch the movie without.
The movie itself is beautifully animated with lovable characters and a great storyline. Dakota Fanning was the perfect actress to voice Coraline and she did a great job.
However, I would recommend that parents with small children don't show this to them without viewing it themselves first. The Nightmare Before Christmas had spooky characters but it was still an enjoyable film for youngsters. Coraline is a little different because this actually could scare children with the spooky magic and imagery that happens later in the film. When I first watched this movie it had an eerie feel to it (and I'm 21 years old). That's when I thought to myself, "This movie isn't for kids." With all of that said, this movie had quickly grown to become my favorite animated feature. Although it's creepy it is still enjoyable and I could watch it over and over again.

Summary: different, but in an appealing kind of way
Comment: Coraline (no, that's NOT a spelling mistake!) may be one of the spookiest animated films I've seen in quite some time.
What makes it different from all the rest is the constantly quiet and creepy atmosphere, and the highly unusual flow to all the animated scenes.
When this film first began for example, I was completely confused watching an animation showing a doll fly through a window, then get ripped apart and put back together again, then out the window it went. Just a REALLY strange piece of animation. You'll know what I mean when you see it.
The soundtrack is fascinating. In fact it might be one of the best soundtracks to an animated film ever. It's seriously THAT good. Okay, Dumbo probably wins the award for best ever soundtrack, but Coraline is definitely a runner-up.
The music seriously reminds me of the mid 70's Canterbury scene involving progressive rock bands such as Hatfield and the North, Caravan and the Soft Machine. Plus it's entirely melodic and just perfect. I absolutely LOVE it.
The storyline is pretty good too, though incredibly simple and adventurous. Just how a storyline *should* be. A young girl bored out of her mind because her parents are too busy to spend time with her goes on an adventure of a lifetime right in her own home (by going back and forth through a secret doorway in the wall).
On the other side of the wall lies mirror images of her parents, but with buttons for eyes! I kid you not, haha. It's kind of scary in a way, but not intentionally so.
Overall, the atmosphere is definitely eerie, and the quiet tone of the entire movie might take a few minutes to adjust to, but in the end Coraline is a quality film for children and adults alike.
