Not to be dissuaded the fledgling animation studio banked their success on recreating stop motion animation, just with modern day CGI technology. With Scream/Shout Factory re releasing a lot of their titles on 4K UHD we once again get to watch the movie that started it all for them.

We learn about the animation style used, about editing the picture, scoring it, creating the puppets used in for the stop motion animation, and more. CGI sheen for exhilarating textures and luscious artistry that can only emerge from this painstaking process.

When I first came to spin Coraline, I was a little apprehensive, not really having much time for A Nightmare Before Christmas, but, as it turns out, I needn’t have worried, Henry Selick has produced a wonder. As fine-looking a 3D stop-motion fantasy that four years of top-flight craftsmanship can produce, Coraline offers a steady diet of artful, kinetic stimulation. One of the great animated films of the 21st century looks utterly dazzling on this UHD release, making it easier than ever to succumb to its atmospheric beauty. So when you get an entire feature film made in that painstakingly slow process I get pretty excited! A new Atmos mix is similarly overwhelming, though its strengths are rarely about pure volume and more about the increased separation and clarity of the many overlapping sounds.

Full Moon brings together a six pack of B-movies produced by legendary schlockmeisters Eurocine in one handy boxed set collection. The seemingly innocent pictures on the wall aren’t innocuous background details - they’re hints and clues. Also included is an 8-page booklet with behind-the-scenes stills and an essay from film critic Peter Debruge. Americanized and just a bit souped up from the children’s novel by Neil Gaiman, it sets a surly, blue-haired tween heroine (voiced by Dakota Fanning) on a supernatural shuttle between two worlds contained inside her family’s new, and very pink, ramshackle apartment home.Overall, the bonus materials are almost all of the same things you got on the original 2009 Blu-ray with a little more added. was used to emphasize certain aspects of the film -- the Coraline Blu-ray 3D experience is complete.

It’s now so much clearer and the addition of HDR (high dynamic range) makes the overall color timing as it should have originally been but technology wouldn’t allow for when it was released to home video. Absent a 3D rerelease, the only way this film could possibly look better is on 4K with HDR and I hope Shout! She doesn’t resist and goes right on through a tunnel and comes out in a polar opposite version of her new home. This stunning stop motion animated film is an impressive adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s story brought to life by Henry Selick.Their past collaboration on this very movie was wonderful, but somehow they managed to upgrade the video even more with HDR in 4K. case literally, suck the life out of those that seek it at the cost of everything they know to be true. The story was really disturbing if you looked at it closely, and doesn’t have the same fine tuning of story elements that Laika would come to perfect in films like The Boxtrolls or Kuba and the Two Strings, but it was fascinating to say the least. Later, as she’s both bored and trying to get slightly accustomed to the area, Coraline also meets some peculiar neighbors in the apartment which is split into three levels of an old larger home. Surprisingly dark and macabre at times, Coraline is a considerably more intense picture than its PG rating and kid friendly character lead characters may make it seem.
