Coraline Site Up

Ward Jenkins | November 20th, 2008

Coraline.com has been up and running for some time now, but with nothing worth noting. Until now. And it looks good. So far, I’m very impressed with the PR campaign for Henry Selick’s up-coming stop-motion feature produced entirely at LAIKA. First of all, check out the mystery packages they sent out to various members of the press. You’ll notice from that post a password to enter once you’re on the film’s site. Enter it (buttoneyes) and you’ll be treated to a vignette on the various characters in the film. There’s more. I’ve been able to scrounge around other passwords (thank you, internets), if you’re curious:

stopmotion
moustachio
puppetlove
armpithair
sweaterxxs
UPDATE: otherworld

Enjoy! (Oh, and Focus Features? We here at Drawn! are still waiting for our ‘mystery boxes’. Just so you know.)

I'm so excited. I feel almost like I did when Nightmare Before Christmas was about to be released!

Also:
BUTTONEYES

I see you mentioned that one already. Ha ha *headdesk*

heymatt - no problem there. I guess I should've put all the passwords together in one place. I might put a bold emphasis on 'buttoneyes' or something.

Monongahela Monster

I think the little Scotty dogs are what clinch the deal for me.

Also impressed by the miniature knitting...

I was thinking it would have been clever to have a little clip with the author of the book, since his name happens to fit so perfectly into the keyhole... but no!
