If you don’t have a Blu-ray player or prefer to stream the film, “Coraline” is available to own as a digital download for $12 on Prime Video. The deal gets you an HD version of the Oscar-nominated film that is yours to keep once you download it. This version also comes with bonus features.

Directed by Henry Selick (best known for directing “The Nightmare Before Christmas”), “Coraline” is based on the 2002 book of the same name by Neil Gaiman. Starring the voices of Dakota Fanning and Teri Hatcher, “Coraline” debuted to critical acclaim, and was nominated for “Best Animated Feature” at the 2009 Academy Awards.
As production company Laika says in its release notes, “Coraline Jones is bored in her new home until she finds a secret door that leads 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 home.”
