Get ready to step back into a world of wonder and suspense as the timeless stop-motion masterpiece Coraline returns to the big screen! Exclusively available at Robinsons Movieworld from September 18 to 30, the 2009 classic has been remastered in 3D, giving fans an immersive cinematic experience like never before.

Originally released in 2009 and directed by Henry Selick, Coraline is based on the novella by Neil Gaiman and continues to captivate audiences with its dark, imaginative storytelling. The film follows Coraline, a young girl voiced by Dakota Fanning, who uncovers a secret door in her new home that leads to an alternate reality—a place that at first seems like a dream come true but quickly transforms into a nightmarish trap.

Facing dangers from this “other” world, including her sinister button-eyed alternate parents, Coralinemust summon all her courage and wit to save her family and escape back to reality. Themes of self-discovery, family, and the temptation of escapism resonate deeply throughout the story, making it a fan favorite for both children and adults.

Coraline was Laika’s first feature film, produced under the guidance of founders Phil Knight, his son Travis Knight, and Will Vinton. Despite skepticism about the success of stop-motion animation in an industry dominated by CGI, Coraline broke the mold, becoming a critical and financial hit. Directed and adapted by Henry Selick, the visionary behind The Nightmare Before Christmas and James and the Giant Peach, Coraline brought an unparalleled artistic style to the screen.

The film’s visual aesthetic owes much to Japanese illustrator Tadahiro Uesugi, whose concept art shaped the whimsical yet eerie world Coraline inhabits. Complementing this was the haunting score by Bruno Coulais, which used unconventional sounds to heighten the movie’s tension and fantasy.

Featuring a stellar cast that includes Teri Hatcher, Jennifer Saunders, Keith David, and Ian McShane, Coraline became a beloved classic that grossed $16.85 million in its opening weekend. Fast forward to its 2023 re-release, and the magic lives on—its global box office earnings now surpass $29 million, reaffirming its status as a cinematic gem.

In honor of the film’s 15th anniversary, Laika has unveiled a remastered 3D version of Coraline, giving a new generation of moviegoers and longtime fans the chance to experience the movie in an even more immersive way. Released in partnership with Trafalgar Releasing, the 3D version first debuted in the U.S. in August 2023, grossing $12.5 million in just four days.
