The film was released on DVD and Blu-ray in the United States on July 21, 2009, by Universal Studios Home Entertainment. They had initially written 10 songs for the film; when a melancholy tone was decided, all but one were cut.Thousands of high-quality 3D models, ranging from facial expressions to doorknobs, were printed in 3D using the Polyjet matrix systems, which enable the fast transformation of CAD (computer-aided design) drawings into high-quality 3D models. When she tries to escape back through the door to her world, the Other Mother half-transforms into an arachnid-like form and imprisons her by throwing her into a mirror that leads to a dark room. The film won Annie Awards for Best Music in an Animated Feature Production, Best Character Design in an Animated Feature Production and Best Production Design in an Animated Feature Production, and received nominations for an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature and a Golden Globe Award for Best Animated Feature Film.

A guaranteed original one sheet movie poster from 2009 for Henry Selick's superb Oscar nominated stop-motion animation horror "Coraline", based on a 2002 novella by Neil Gaiman. Stop-motion animation is such a difficult and time-consuming art that projects of this scale can only be borne out of love and it really shows in this wonderful film. On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 80 out of 100 based on reviews from 38 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews". It is certainly exciting, but rather than race through ever noisier set pieces toward a hectic climax in the manner of so much animation aimed at kids, Coraline lingers in an atmosphere that is creepy, wonderfully strange and full of feeling.Coraline meets the other residents of the Pink Palace: upstairs, the Amazing Bobinsky, an eccentric Russian liquidator-turned-gymnast who owns a mouse circus; and downstairs, retired burlesque performers April Spink and Miriam Forcible. Production of the stop-motion animation feature took place at a warehouse in Hillsboro, Oregon (near Portland).

When Coraline goes to the well to get rid of it, the Beldam's severed hand attacks her, trying to pull her back to the small door in the house.

There, three ghost children, including Wybie's great aunt, tell Coraline how the Beldam (the Other Mother) used the ragdolls to spy on them. Director Henry Selick met author Neil Gaiman just as Gaiman was finishing the novel Coraline, and given that Gaiman was a fan of Selick's The Nightmare Before Christmas, he invited him to make a possible film adaptation. One of Uesugi's biggest influences was on the color palette, which was muted in reality and more colorful in the Other World, similar to The Wizard of Oz. Uesugi declared that "at the beginning, it was supposed to be a small project over a few weeks to simply create characters; however, I ended up working on the project for over a year, eventually designing sets and backgrounds, on top of drawing the basic images for the story to be built upon. They have no recollection of the ordeal, but having finished their writing, they are nice to Coraline.

Her friends, a boy named Wybie and a stray black cat, help her set things right and become closer to her parents. Coraline is a 2009 American stop motion animated dark fantasy horror film written and directed by Henry Selick, based on Neil Gaiman's novella of the same name.

More than 28 animators worked at a time on rehearsing or shooting scenes, producing 90–100 seconds of finished animation each week. Selick, looking for a design away from that of most animation, discovered the work of Japanese illustrator Tadahiro Uesugi and invited him to become the concept artist. With the production of Coraline, Laika would become the first company to make a feature-length film using replacement faces made by a 3D printer. As Selick thought a direct adaptation would lead to "maybe a 47-minute movie", his screenplay had some expansions, such as the creation of Wybie, who was not present in the original novel. Afterwards, the Other Mother offers to let her stay permanently if she has buttons sewn over her eyes which horrifies Coraline.
