disc 1: From the creators of Coraline and ParaNorman comes a magical family adventure about heroes in all shapes and sizes: the Boxtrolls. Quirky, mischievous and good-hearted, these box-wearing creatures have lovingly raised a human boy named “Eggs” (voiced by Isaac Hempstead Wright) in a charming cavern below the bustling streets of Cheesebridge. But when evil Archibald Snatcher (voiced by Ben Kingsley) decides to capture the lovable misfits, it’s up to Eggs and his feisty young friend Winnie (voiced by Elle Fanning) to save the Boxtrolls. / disc 2: When a small town comes under siege by zombies, who can it call? “Norman!” From Focus Features and LAIKA, the companies behind the Academy Award-nominated animated feature “Coraline,” comes the comedy thriller ParaNorman, an all-new frightfully funny, magically emotional, and hilariously spooky story. ParaNorman is set in the town of Blithe Hollow, where 11-year-old Norman Babcock (voiced by Kodi Smit-McPhee of “Let Me In” and “The Road”) spends much of his days appreciating the finer points of scary movies and studying ghost lore. In fact, Norman is gifted with the ability to see and speak with the dead. He is floored by the revelation that a centuries-old witch’s curse is about to come true, and that only he will be able to stop it from going into overdrive and harming the townspeople. Once a septet of zombies suddenly rises from their graves, Norman bravely summons up all that makes a hero – courage and compassion – as he finds his paranormal activities pushed to their otherworldly limits. The movie is directed by Sam Fell and Chris Butler, from an original screenplay by Chris Butler. / disc 3: From the Director of The Nightmare Before Christmas comes a visually stunning stop-motion animated feature like you've never seen before! Coraline Jones is bored in her new home until she finds a secret door that leads her into a world that's just like her own…but better! But when this fantastical adventure turns dangerous and her "other" Mother tries to keep her forever, Coraline must count on her resourcefulness and bravery to get hom.

Don't worry... These disks really are region-free.
I played them in the new Oppo UDP-205, and everything is fine. Including the 3D.Laika films are decidedly different. Though nominally "family" films, they have an adult sensibility. I'm surprised children will sit through them (qv, the highly negative reactions to "Rango"). All lean heavily on fantasy and the supernatural, focusing on the importance of strong family relationships.The problem with fantasy stories is that you can do "anything", without being required to justify it. Where do box trolls exist? What sort of magical universe does Coraline's "other mother" come from? Only "ParaNormaN" treads familiar ground -- people seeing spirits. I find this lack of connection with existing mythology to be a bit off-putting (because it seems somewhat arbitrary), * but others will not.Visually, the Laika films are absolute knockouts. Everything is shown in extravagant detail, as if the artists have a doll-house fixation on absolute accuracy. The stop-motion animation uses conventional DSLRs, which allow immediate viewing as the animator's work. This permits exact positioning that virtually eliminates the occasional jerkiness of conventional stop motion. (No offense, Ray.)Laika's stories play out on large sets, and the 3D makes you feel you've walked into a "real" fantasy world.I've seen all four Laika films, and regardless of the "official" ratings, they should be considered PG. There's an awful lot of strange and scary stuff likely to frighten small children. And "ParaNormaN" is arguably PG-13, as one of the characters reveals he's gay, in a clever line of throw-away dialog.Strongly recommended, even if you're only interested in seeing how good 3D movies can be.* The Grimms' collection of folk tales derives from centuries of European tradition (witches, spells, transformations, etc). "Riders in the Sky" might be American C&W, but it's based on European tales of "der wilde Jagd" (the wild hunt).

good for those of us who love our stop motion movies a little off-center and not afraid to take risks!
Coraline has always been one of my favorite stop motion movies ever, but i bought this item on faith, having never seen Paranorman or Boxtrolls and i have to say that i very much love them as much as Coraline and they are without doubt three incredibly clever, well-done and awesome movies. what's amazing is all the detail and care that goes into the making of these films, for not only is the writing bold, but the direction and design is very thorough. boxtrolls definitely deserved to be nominated as it was, and if coraline and paranorman didn't get any noms then that's unfortunate, because they deserved it. great set of films for a great price.

3 Movie Box Set- WORTH IT!!
I love the movie Coraline & really wanted to see it in 3D, so im so happy i now own it! Its an added bonus to have paranorman & boxtrolls on 3D as well! If you dont own a 3D blu ray player & TV, all 3 movies play in 2D plus all 3 have bonus scene! Recommend to everyone because these movies are great & you wont find a better deal for the 3!

Unbelievable "Hat Trick"!!!
This is a great movie line - up. I got it because of "The Box Trolls" but the other two are just as good. The animation in use in these films is the very best in my opinion and watching the special effects extras show how incredibly difficult it is and that makes the experience just that much better.I'm 57 years old, I've got no children and I still love these movies. Whether you are young or old you will love these guys or there is something wrong with you.Do yourselves a favor and invest in this group of movies and you will be glad you did.

With free shipping awesome deal.

Missing and expired digital codes
The discs are in great condition and for the $25 price it was a great deal for 3 movies. BUT Coraline was missing the digital code and the other 2 movies had expired codes in them for digital copies. I bought this set specifically for the digital copies at that price, and the dvds could be backups, but i got no digital movie out of this package. It is very misleading to show the digital copies for all 3 movies and then they are not able to be used. I got a full refund from Amazon, but i think it should have been from the seller for misleading people to buy this set. It's a great deal and quality for 3 disc copies, but they should remove the digital copy from the photos and description.

3 awesome movies!!
2 of the movies were loose in the box (most likely getting tossed around instead of being placed down by shipping) which worried me but they weren't scratched thankfully! They play & we're very excited to have movies we already love, in 3D now!! I like how the movies are sectioned in the box instead of stacked on the same release button like some "multi-disk sets". Came quickly & my kids are stoked we have more 3D movies to watch as a family!!
