This summer, 'Coraline' will be back in theaters, this time in 3D.
Laika Studios has announced the return of director Henry Selick's beloved 2009 stop-motion animated feature, Coraline, based on Neil Gaiman's novella. This cult classic has garnered a devoted fan base over the years, offering a staple horror experience that surprisingly deepens in meaning with age. Complete with a mysterious dark world, otherworldly beings, and a curious young protagonist, the film promises to captivate audiences once again as it hits the big screen in 3D.
The narrative centers around Coraline, a young girl who stumbles upon a hidden doorway to a parallel universe while exploring her new residence. This alternate reality closely resembles her own but offers improvements in various aspects. However, the situation takes a sinister turn when the Other Mother and her parallel family conspire to trap Coraline in this alternate realm. To break free, Coraline must summon all her courage and resourcefulness to return to her real family.
'Coraline' boasts a sizable fan base drawn to its unique allure. Directed by Selick, who also adapted the screenplay from Gaiman's novella, the film expands upon its source material. Its stop-motion animation imparts an eerie yet distinctive atmosphere, serving as a gateway to horror for younger viewers. With its dark fantasy aesthetics and unsettling yet age-appropriate visuals, 'Coraline' remains a cherished favorite among audiences of all ages.
Regarded as one of the greatest animated films of the 21st century, Coraline dazzles with its impeccable production design, stellar cast, and innovative use of 3D technology. Originally re-released for a limited two-day engagement last year, overwhelming fan demand led to an extended run across multiple screens, resulting in another successful box office performance. With its upcoming return in 3D, the feature is poised to capture the attention of both longtime admirers and new audiences alike.
The film boasts an esteemed voice cast, with Dakota Fanning lending her talents as Coraline Jones, Teri Hatcher portraying Mel Jones and The Other Mother, Jennifer Saunders as April Spink, Dawn French as Miriam, John Hodgman as Charlie and The Other Father, Robert Bailey Jr. as Wybie, and Keith David as The Cat. Additionally, the ensemble includes Ian McShane as Sergei Alexander Bobinsky, Carolyn Crawford as Mrs. Lovat, Aankha Neal, George Selick, and Hannah Kaiser, alongside John Linnell, Marina Budovsky, and Harry Selick.
Mark your calendars for Coraline's anticipated return to theaters in 3D this August.
