So I took my family to the Coraline movie and was very impressed. It was so gorgeous in design and had me so interested all the way through!
It was a little scary for a 2.5 year old Maddux, but he stayed awake and pretty much didn’t move. Which was a win for me! :)
I also learned something afterwards that I thought was awesome from an awesome photographer friend, Jason Domingues! You can win these one of a kind stitched Coraline Nike Dunks from the www.coraline.com website!!!
Here’s a letter that includes a hint:
THE EFFORTS OF HUNDREDS OF TALENTED PEOPLE HAVE COME TOGETHER TO CREATE THIS INCREDIBLE GIFT FOR YOU AND A VERY SELECT FEW TO CELEBRATE LAIKA’S FIRST FULL-LENGTH ANIMATED FILM, CORALINE. THE CORALINE NIKE DUNKS WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE WITHOUT NEIL GAIMAN’S STORY OF AN ALTERNATE WORLD; THE VISION OF HENRY SELICK, THE DIRECTOR OF THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS; THE GENEROSITY OF PHIL KNIGHT; AND THE INSPIRATION OF YOU AND YOUR WORK. TRUE TO THE FILM’S UNIQUE, HANDCRAFTED STYLE, THE HIGH-END CANVAS UPPER FEATURES A TURNED EDGE AND THE BLACK VISIBLE SEAM IS HAND SEWN, ENSURING EACH PAIR HAS A UNIQUE, BESPOKE FEEL. THE TONAL CONTRAST IN MATERIALS AND SUBTLE, HIDDEN DETAILS–NOT TO MENTION THE GLOW-IN-THE-DARK SOLE–REFLECT THE FILM’S SENSE OF CURIOUSITY. THE OVERSIZED BUTTONS WERE DESIGNED BY HENRY SELICK, AND ONLY EXIST ON 100 PAIRS. THE SAME ARTISTS WHO WORKED ON THE MOVIE CREATED THE RELICS FOR THESE UNIQUE BOXES. FIFTY BOXES CONTAIN ACTUAL PROPS FROM THE MOVIE. THE ONLY OTHER CHANCE TO OWN A PAIR OF LIMITED DUNKS IS TO SEE THE MOVIE ON FEBRUARY 6TH AND THEN VISIT CORALINE.COM (HINT: STAY UNTIL AFTER THE CREDITS!)
