CORALINE GIVEAWAYS!
27 Posted on Jan 18, 2009 in articles by Josh Flanagan |
We've got 2 giveaways for the iFanbase for the February 6 release of Coraline.
From Henry Selick, visionary director of THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS, and based on Neil Gaiman’s international best-selling book, comes a spectacular stop-motion animated adventure – the first to be originally filmed in 3D!
Coraline Jones (Dakota Fanning) is bored in her new home until she finds a secret door and discovers an alternate version of her life on the other side. On the surface, this parallel reality is eerily similar to her real life and the people in it – only much better. But when this seemingly perfect world turns dangerous, and her other parents (including her Other Mother voiced by Teri Hatcher) try to trap her forever, Coraline must count on her resourcefulness, determination and bravery to escape this increasingly perilous world – and save her family.
First up is a giveaway for all sorts of Coraline movie merchandise. 6
winners will be randomly chosen from the iFanboy membership ranks. The contest will last through February 13, 2009. Any new memberships in that time will be eligible for prizes, as well as anyone who's already signed up. If you're a member, you don't have to do anything to win. Enter to win a fun ‘Goodie Bag’ which includes the following exclusive Coraline items:
3 Grand Prize Packs will consist of:
• Coraline Video Game (Wii or PS2 formats TBD), Coraline Book, Coraline
Button Key,
• Coraline Prize Pack (each pack includes A Coraline Movie
Tie in Book, Coraline Button set, Coraline Pen, Coraline T-shirt,
Coraline Alphabet Collector Cards, Coraline Bookmark)
3 Runner Up Packs will consist of:
• Coraline Movie Tie in Book, Coraline Button set, Coraline Pen,
Coraline T-shirt, Coraline Alphabet Collector Cards, Coraline Bookmark)

So, members don't have to do ANYTHING? Just auto-entered? That's cool, if so.

@iGotKIttyPryde: That's correct. Everyone who signed up for a memebership (or who does before the contest deadline) is automatically entered.

Oh and the Gaiman story I've already read previously and is really fantastic. It's Lovecraft-ian Sherlock Holmes. Really quite good, it was my favorite thing in the 'Fragile Things' short story collection.

@conor: Nice. Thanks for the quick response!
Posted by iGotKittyPryde on 01/18/09 at 06:46 PM
I downloaded the audio story already, and it's about 50 minutes long, so it's definitely a nice chunk.

Oooooh boy! I can't wait for this one! The contest and the movie.

"A Study in Emerald" is good stuff. So is "We Can Get For You Wholesale" and "Murder Mysteries." 2008 was the year I realized I friggin' love Neil Gaiman. I even got his children's book "The Day I Swapped My Dad For Two Goldfish" he did with McKean because it was so well-written.

me and my girlfriend were fortunate enough to catch an advance screening last week. It is a great movie. I wasn't super excited to see it, but was really surprised how much i enjoyed it.

Seriously, I don't have to do anything to enter if I'm a member? That's the best membership ever! Is that right?
Posted by Eyun on 01/19/09 at 01:28 AM
kinda... really... wanna try that wii game.
Posted by gat0rl1vebeatz on 01/19/09 at 08:25 AM
My current adress is in Romania. If I win, (very small chance) you would send that here?
Posted by ed9121993 on 01/19/09 at 09:34 AM
I have to check on that. The Coraline people will be sending out the prizes, not us. So let me find out. They didn't say they wouldn't...
Posted by josh on 01/19/09 at 09:51 AM
The PS2 game would be a lot of fun. You guys know how to do a good contest!
Posted by J4K3 on 01/19/09 at 12:04 PM
i will consider letting you guys come round and play the game when i win it
Posted by Jay on 01/19/09 at 01:40 PM
It turns out that they'll only ship prizes to the US and CANADA. But fear not, if our overseas members win something, we'll figure out something. Meaning that we'll probably just send it to you ourselves.

Excited for this film.
Posted by SunnyvaleTrash on 01/19/09 at 05:07 PM
AUTOPLAYING TRAILERS ARE EVIL!!!
Posted by Rchapoteau on 01/27/09 at 02:16 PM
@josh that would be awesome assuming I win this contest.

Looking forward to the Membership drawing.
Thanks for the opportunity fellas.

I'm a new member to iFanboy but a long-time Neil Gaiman fan. I have one of the editions of the "Coraline" novel in hardcover. The cover glows in the dark! It's a lovely thing to see as I drop off to sleep at night.
I'd love to be included in the membership drawing. The only other thing I'd like more is to see a free screening of the movie in a local theater. But being picked will make up for that.

The movie was so awesome!!!!
Posted by goosey on 02/10/09 at 05:50 PM
This looks very interesting. I look forward to winning.
