Coraline (2009) (Blu Ray) - 10/10

Coraline on Blu Ray is wonderful, having watched the PIP extras and commentary, it literally gets better every time. The stop motion animation by Henry Selick is the best he's ever done and hearing all the little details of how they created the realistic hair, casted actors for voice work, and how they used CGI to ehance some action scenes all made me appreciate this medium over newly computer animated films. Having read the book before I saw this in theatres, it's cool to see this film version look so good on Blu Ray and in 3D and have them expand on the characters to the point where you wish more hollywood types would take chances with such dark and original stories. Coraline is a must see and something I can tell I will revisit along with Nightmare Before Christmas every Halloween.
