“Do you want to stay in your buttoned-up world forever? Or maybe you’re brave enough to go back…?” Laika has revealed a brand new trailer for the 15th Anniversary re-release of the stop-motion animation classic Coraline, which originally opened in 2009. We covered this release extensively during its original debut years ago, and I remember how big of a deal it was when it opened in theaters in February of ’09. To celebrate the anniversary, Focus and Laika are re-releasing the special 3D version of Coraline in theaters worldwide (!!) for everyone to enjoy. The Cat (Keith David) welcomes you back for a dream come true! On August 15th, Coraline returns to theaters in a newly remastered edition with eye-popping 3D. Crawl into the Other World with your favorite characters & experience Laika’s film as you’ve never seen it before. Featuring the voices of Dakota Fanning as Coraline, Teri Hatcher as Mel, Jennifer Saunders as April Spink, Dawn French as Miriam Forcible, John Hodgman as Charlie, plus Ian McShane as Sergei Alexander Bobinsky. One of the most beloved animated films from the 2000s – see it again on the big screen in August.
Here’s the new 15th Anniversary trailer (+ poster) for Henry Selick’s Coraline, direct from YouTube:
When Coraline moves to an old house, she feels bored and neglected by her parents. She finds a hidden door with a bricked up passage. During the night, she crosses through the passage and finds a parallel world where everybody has buttons instead of eyes, with caring parents and all her dreams coming true. When the Other Mother invites Coraline to stay in her world forever, the girl refuses and finds that the alternate reality where she is trapped is only a trick to lure her. Coraline is both written and directed by beloved American animation filmmaker Henry Selick, also director of the movies The Nightmare Before Christmas, James and the Giant Peach, Monkeybone before this, along with Wendell & Wild most recently previously. Adapted from Neil Gaiman’s novel of the same name first published in 2002. Produced by Claire Jennings, Bill Mechanic, Mary Sandell, and Henry Selick. Made by Laika Studios in Portland, Oregon. Focus Features & Laika Entertainent will re-release Coraline in 3D in theaters nationwide starting on August 15th, 2024 later this summer. For more details + tickets, visit the site Coraline15.com.
