A young girl (Fanning) walks through a secret door in her new home and discovers an alternate version of her life. On the surface, this parallel reality is eerily similar to her real life – only much better. But when her adventure turns dangerous, and her counterfeit parents (including Other Mother [Hatcher]) try to keep her forever, Coraline must count on her resourcefulness, determination, and bravery to get back home – and save her family.

I know that They Might Be Giants were working on music for it. I don't know if they did the soundtrack in general or just contributed some music.

They showed a trailer for this before Monster House over 2 years ago, saying it got pushed back is an understatement 
(Though, I think it had a late 2007 date originally).

I'm looking forward to seeing the 3-D version. The 3-D trailers shown during recent 3-D movies have peaked my interest.

After seeing the 3-D trailer before My Bloody Valentine 3-D it completely sold me. I can not wait. Any reviews or impressions? I know there were screenings in LA last night.

I was lucky to see this in Austin this past Sunday with Selick in attendance. It's a rather amazing movie. Very beautifully shot as well. I didn't know much about this story, but it definitely does not seem like small children's fare. I believe it's PG, but when the story takes that dark turn, I definitely couldn't imagine my 5 year old daughter seeing this without getting scared. But overall, it's Selick's best stuff yet - IMO, much better than Nightmare Before Christmas, which i love a lot. The 3D is pretty amazing as well. Selick mentioned he didn't want to to be a 3D fest throughout the entire movie, and it shows. When you see the images pop up in certain scenes, it really enhances the effect of the story. Towards the end it increases a lot more. I can't wait to see this again.
Oh, Selick did say when Disney said they were going to do Nightmare in 3D, both he and Tim Burton thought it was the dumbest idea they ever heard of. But he was pleased with what they did with it.

It looks pretty good to me, but the trailer doesn't do much for me. I'm not a fan of Gaiman so that may be part of the turn-off for me. Unless I hear some great reviews I might pass on this one altogether. Unless, of course, my chick wants to see it....
