I'm so proud of Coraline. That people are still excited to see it in the theatre thrills me, 14 years after it was released.

@neilhimself.neilgaiman.com hey Neil I’m a huge fan of your work I recently bought a ticket to the rerelease of Coraline in theaters and they were almost all sold out for all the showings!

Would love to see you make another story in this spectacular world one day! Keep up the good work!- Jack

My daughter and I saw it when it was originally released. A memorable outing. The 3D was amazing.

My wife dressed as Coraline for Halloween last year to hand out candy. It was surprising the number of children (and adults) that went "Are you Coraline? I love Coraline!"

Much to be proud of there.

Any plans for the Graveyard Book?

I adore that movie. The stop-motion still holds up after all this time.

jamrock-superstar.bsky.social•572 days ago

It's one of my all time favorite films, I watch it every Fall 😊 Visually stunning, well acted, a perfect mixture of quaint and creepy, and of course masterfully written.

sidbyob.bsky.social•572 days ago

its my sons favorite movie

asadiablo.me•572 days ago

It really was an amazing movie.

We didn't get to see it in theaters, but bought it for our youngest daughter who proceeded to almost wear out the DVD. We also got tickets just in time.

The Daughter loves that movie madly and has multiple tattoos from its artwork.

bbolander.bsky.social•572 days ago

it's a great little movie and a great adaptation to boot and what more can you ask for

spaceforabe.bsky.social•572 days ago

Rewatched last night, such a beautiful executed film.

innocentrori.bsky.social•572 days ago

I got the book just to read to my nieces :3

oldmangames.bsky.social•572 days ago

I saw when it first came to theaters in 3D mind was blown away and got me into horror which is now my favorite movie genre! I can’t express how much this movie means to me thank you for responding and making my day!

antiheroine.bsky.social•572 days ago

This was the first movie I took my kid, at age 4, to see in a theater. In a couple of days, they turn 18, and they still love it. Maybe we'll go see it in the theater again.

rebeccawatson.bsky.social•572 days ago

Still one of my favorite uses of 3D in a movie. It looks like the rerelease is in 2D, right? Still worth going to see but man, I really loved the trippy 3D.

antiheroine.bsky.social•572 days ago

We didn't see it in 3D but that does sound like it would be great

rebeccawatson.bsky.social•572 days ago

yeah it was so well done! I remember the spirals expanding outside the windows in Other World and it just felt so immersive

If you have Seattle in your travel plans, we were just at the MoPOP and they have an amazing exhibition of the stop motion models from studio Laika.

I spent a lot of time adjusting to the idea that the sets were:
a. real.
b. small.

Laika had a dope pop-up at SDCC a few years ago...their work is incredible

chkenginelight.bsky.social•572 days ago

You really hit a home run with that one. I see kids in our neighborhood carrying the book still. The story sets up shop in the amygdala and never goes away.

poyoboyo.bsky.social•572 days ago

it's the only 3D film i ever saw that actually felt like it was made better because of it. i think about it all the time, especially poor YB.

anyaart.bsky.social•572 days ago

It’s my favorite film! I’ve watched it so many times. Stunning visuals and well written lines.The right amount of frightening details and pure emotion. Parallel universe and creepy creatures really got me. We need this kind of film more and more.

ing-torta.bsky.ar•571 days ago

I watched Coraline in a portable DVD player on a bus back in the day. I feel old.

I finished it and immediately started it again. One could think that it was because i had a 13 hour travel ahead of me but I also had 5 other movies with me.

I love Coraline, thank you ❤️❤️

fredrikedin.bsky.social•572 days ago

My kids favourite movie!

larkenciel.bsky.social•572 days ago

My sister in law took my kid to see this when he was still scared of a lot of stuff and even today, in his 20s, he is NOT AMUSED if I put buttons in my eyes. I love it, tho!

chucksuffel.bsky.social•572 days ago

Every year our 6th grade ELA teacher has the class read Coraline and watch the film in class. So many great discussions and essays come out of it!

adriannarenee09.bsky.social•572 days ago

Was a fan of the book and loved the movie 🙂

leewilliamdesigns.bsky.social•572 days ago

Loved that film! Loved the darkness of it… and I’m forever scarred by button eyes. Lol

jamiroqueer.bsky.social•572 days ago

I spent a zillion dollars to get Coraline on 3D Blu-ray before it was sold by itself that way, 100% worth it ❤️

oldmangames.bsky.social•572 days ago

Same here also it’s crazy how hard it is to find a 3D TV and Blu-ray player

jamiroqueer.bsky.social•572 days ago

Oh yeah they don’t make the flatscreen 3DTVs anymore, you have to go with a projector if you want to find that now.

It didn’t seem impossible to find a new player that could do 3D last I checked, but that was a while ago

notmyself.io•572 days ago

Button eyes still creep me the fuck out. It is a great story my wife and I are huge fans.

oldmangames.bsky.social•572 days ago

The best Burton non Burton movie ever

wattle.bsky.social•572 days ago

I'm excited, *and* it will pair interestingly with the other Fathom event we are seeing the day before (Enter the Dragon)

celiaaaron.bsky.social•572 days ago

A perennial fave of both my girls 🖤
