The creators of Coraline, set to open in theaters Friday, have produced 50 handmade boxes with different pieces representing the movie, and sent most of them to bloggers in an effort to help promote the film. One of these boxes is currently listed on eBay, with 100% of the proceeds going to the charitable cause, Starlight Children’s Foundation.  Other memorabilia is also available for auction, benefiting the same charity.

CORALINE BOX #41/50

Hand-crafted collectible relics from the set.  For the last three years, 351 of the world’s oddest and most talented animators, artisans, and puppet fabricators have been hand-making one movie.  Inside this box is a one-of-a-kind collection of relics directly from the set of Coraline, the first full-length animated film from LAIKA, Inc.  Only 50 boxes were made, entirely by hand, in sunny Portland, Oregon.  These boxes are extremely rare and collectible.

  • Coraline Box #41 contains the following handcrafted treats:
  • Coraline’s military hat
  • Coraline’s rubber boots
  • A metal door key (to a different world?)
  • A set of stills from the film, signed by director Henry Selick
