The Laika company‘s stop-motion animated films “Coraline” and “ParaNorman” will be coming to 4K UHD Blu-ray in both standard and SteelBook forms on December 13th via Shout! Factory. The films are briefly individually highlighted below.

“Coraline” from 2009 was directed by Henry Selick, best known for also directing “The Nightmare Before Christmas” (1993). Selick adapted the screenplay from a book written by Neil Gaiman. The film featured the voice talents of Dakota Fanning, Teri Hatcher, John Hodgman, Ian McShane, and Keith David. Tech specs for the 4K UHD Blu-ray include a 2160p video presentation in the 1.85:1 aspect ratio with HDR10 and Dolby Vision forms of high dynamic range and Dolby Atmos sound.

“ParaNorman” from 2012 was co-directed by Chris Butler and Sam Fell. Chris Butler also wrote the screenplay. The film featured the voice talents of Kodi Smit-McPhee, Tucker Albrizzi, Anna Kendrick, Casey Affleck, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Leslie Mann, Jeff Garlin, Alex Borstein, and John Goodman. Tech specs for the 4K UHD Blu-ray include a 2160p video presentation in the 2.35:1 aspect ratio with HDR10 and Dolby Vision forms of high dynamic range and Dolby Atmos sound.

Both of these 4K UHD Blu-ray SteelBook releases will come in the form of a “combo pack” meaning that they each will also include their Blu-ray Disc counterpart. So far, you cannot yet find either of these available for preorder yet but stay tuned for updates. The bonus materials will include all of the previous Blu-ray extras from the latest editions as well as a booklet [for each]. Also, the 4K UHD Blu-ray SteelBooks (pictured further above) each feature new hand-drawn artwork. There’s no artwork yet for the standard 4K releases of the films but stay tuned for an update on that later.

Will be preordering

Excellent. Hope Kubo follows ... least favorite is BoxTrolls but will take a new Steel 4K for that too ... will pull the 3D discs from my current versions and put in these Steels and look for new homes for the older sets (minus 3D discs)

The film is reissued to UK cinemas next month, and Park Circus lists a 4K DCP, so this should be native 4K.

I am interested in both of the Shout Factory steelbooks

Waiting for the standard case artwork. This new steelbook art isn’t satisfactory imho.

Will get this and Coraline

I’m glad I waited but it kind of sucks how they’re doing this a year after they did the “Laika studios edition.”

Yeah, a real cash grab that was, wasn’t it?
Already had the original bluray releases, so I was okay passing on those.

it's Laika who would be making these decisions. Shout just distributes the titles for them.

I need both of these, I have the old blu of coralline, but I’ve never seen paranorman. Think the price will drop anymore?

Surprised these don't come with posters if ordering from SF.

None of the G Kids ateelbooks do either. And those are Shout.

I think they mainly do it with their Scream factory titles

Some of the GKIDs releases have come with posters or lithographs. This Weathering With You SB for instance includes one:

Some others like Lupin III, and Perfect Blue as well. The previous Laika BD releases that came out last year also came with 18 x 24 lithos with the new art.
