Coraline Official Trailer and Mystery Boxes

The official Coraline theatrical trailer has hit the internet and to no one’s surprise it looks really, really good. I don’t know what kind of advancements have been made in the technology used to film stop motion animation movies, but Coraline looks to have taken the art form to the next level. If you don’t believe me check out the film’s official trailer below:



On a side note, have you guys heard about or seen the mystery boxes sent out to bloggers around the world by the production company behind Coraline to promote the film’s release? Only fifty of these handmade chests were created and each one is different from the next in look and the contents inside. The boxes contain actual items used in the making of the film and include things such as hand written letters, photos and random props. This might just be one of the coolest movie promotions I’ve ever heard of! It's just too bad The Blot didn't make the cut.
