Win a free ‘Coraline’ DVD!
The nice folks releasing the Coraline DVD today (based on the award winning book by Neil Gaiman, doncha know) have given us a free copy of the DVD to give to a ComicMix reader.
As we’re too dang busy between now and San Diego to grade essays on “why I should get the free DVD of Coraline“, we’ll just make it simple: Comment in this thread, using a real email address when you log in (because that’s how we’ll contact you if you win). Contest open only to people living in the United States. Don’t forget to check out the film’s current site.
In the meantime, here’s a little clip from the DVD extras…
Hey, I'm first – doesn't that qualify me for the DVD???
I am excited to see this movie; I hope it is as good as the book! I have a baby so I have to wait for everything to come out on DVD to see it.
hey i really hope i win the coraline dvd because i didnt get to see in 3-D yet and i wont have to buy it in stores and i could really save some money.
I thought this film had some of the best 3D I've ever seen.
I loved this back when it was a book, and found myself loving it even more as a movie. I was so happy when I heard it was being made into a movie, and it did not disappoint.
sweet I always wanted to see this movie
I thought the adaptation of the book was quite good. I bought the book when it came out and saw the movie the weekend it came out. However, I'm laid off at the moment, so buying the DVD is not something I can really budget for. (Yes, going for the sympathy vote. I'm shameless.)
I loved this movie. I was expecting a semi-cheesy kid flick when i walked into the theatre, but was pleasantly surprised by the whimsical adventure that Coraline turned out to be. The animation is gorgeous, and the story captivated me. I'm a sucker for a good story, and this movie had me. Slightly different from the book, but good all the same.
It's a very good movie, made from a very good book. My guess is that it will but for an Oscar for Best Animated Movie.
I have 4 boys who would love this one.
I loved this move all so much…The story was awesome and the visual effects were the best I've seen since Tim Burton's "Nightmare Before Christmas"!!! Two Thumbs Up!!!!!
Coraline Contest!!! That movie is freaking amazing!
I read the book but did not get the chance to see the movie.
The 3D was MUCH better than I was expecting. It did not showcase cheap jump-at-the-audience gags, as much as giving it a depth, which is a much better use of the technology.
Loved the book, haven't seen the movie yet.
I've saw the movie, and it enjoyed it so much that I picked up the book afteward. A really nice use of 3D technology.
This film and Up are going to be the two films that really transitioned 3D films from novelties to a serious way of making movies. That's my prediction, anyway. Regardless, Coraline is such an engaging movie on so many levels, it's well-worth owning the DVD so you can watch it again and pick up on everything you missed the first time
I really wanted to see this movie when it was in theaters, but sadly never had the chance to see it. And now my favorite comics information site is having a contest to win a copy of the DVD? Grand. Thanks for letting me throw my hat in the ring. -Andy Holman
Read the book when it first came out. Read it again with the kids a while ago. Now looking forward to seeing the movie. (Which we would have seen in theater but with things going to DVD so quickly these days (seems even major releases are on DVD within, what, 3-4 months now?) it seems so much easier (not to mention cheaper) to just wait a bit.) (Plus you get to avoid all the people who talk through movies. Do they not see the "Silence is Golden/Don't add you own soundtrack" messages? Whatever happened to common consideration and manners? Humph! Kids these days.) But i digress…
Thought you guys might all like to know that you can buy some really rare items from the film right now at http://www.ebay.com/starlight in a charity auction for sick children. Items include: Nike Dunks (some signed by Dakota Fanning, some pristine), Coraline books, signed by Dakota and Teri Hatcher, signed posters, etc. You should check it out! All for a good cause! (Full disclosure: I work at Starlight! but saw the film and fell in love! Buying it on DVD for myself and for my bro!)
Great contest! Gimme Gimme Gimme!
I loved reading the book and listening to NG's reading of it. I'm itching to watch, since I didn't see it in theaters.
It is a great film. I'm not sure how well the red/blue 3D will be on the DVD, but I'm sure it will be nice in regular 2D anyway.
Hey I hope that I win that DVD — would love to watch the film another 2,000 times!
