Coraline (2D Version Only) [DVD] [2009]

Product Information

Every object on screen was made for the film. [11] The crew used three 3D printing systems from Objet in the development and production of the film. Thousands of high-quality 3D models, ranging from facial expressions to doorknobs, were printed in 3D using the Polyjet matrix systems, which enable the fast transformation of CAD (computer-aided design) drawings into high-quality 3D models. [17] The puppets had separate parts for the upper and lower parts of the head that could be exchanged for different facial expressions, [11] and the characters of Coraline could potentially exhibit over 208,000 facial expressions. [17] In the "Hidden Worlds: The Films of LAIKA" exhibit at Seattle's Museum of Pop Culture, the sign for "Replacing Faces" display stated there were 207,336 possible face combinations for Coraline and 17,633 for her mother. There were 28 identical Coraline puppets made. Each one took 3-4 months to make and usually took 10 people to construct each one. [18] There, three ghost children, including Wybie's great aunt, tell Coraline how the Beldam (the Other Mother) used the ragdolls to spy on them. After sewing buttons over their eyes, the Beldam devoured their souls. Coraline can free them by retrieving the essences of their souls, trapped in the "eyes" of the ghost children. After promising to help them, the Other Wybie helps her return home. Desowitz, Bill (January 23, 2009). "Tadahiro Uesugi Talks 'Coraline' Design". Animation World . Retrieved August 17, 2014.

Upon waking, Coraline has returned to the real world. Wybie recounts how his great aunt disappeared. Coraline meets the other residents of the Pink Palace: upstairs, the Amazing Bobinsky, an eccentric Russian liquidator-turned-gymnast who owns a mouse circus; and downstairs, retired burlesque performers April Spink and Miriam Forcible. Bobinsky and Ms. Spink (who reads tea leaves for Coraline) warn her about the Other World.
