Hey all. The contest for these dolls (and yes, they are dolls--says so right on the box) is officially closed. We had more than 600 entries for this contest, and now my Sunday is shot as I spend the day looking through them to find all of the people who answered the questions correctly, and picking out just one to win the CORALINE dolls. That's for the overwhelming response, everyone!


Hey everyone. Capone in Chicago here, with my first-ever contest that I can open up to the entire AICN readership, or at least the part of the readership that has a familiarity with a certain 3-D stop-motion animated masterpiece currently in theaters. The film, of course, is CORALINE, and I've got one magnificent set of six dolls from the film to give away to one lucky winner who can answer three questions about the movie. Now, I'm assuming that more than one of you will get these questions right, so what I'm going to do is collect all winning entries that come in during the 24 hours after this contest posts, and select a winner at random.

Here's what I need: Send your entry to me at capone@aintitcoolmail.com. The subject line must real "CORALINE DOLLS"

In the body of the email, I need your full name and mailing address (give me an address that will accept packages, possibly ones sent overnight). Finally, I need the answers to the following questions:

1. Coraline's Other Father is wearing what kind of slippers? Be specific.

2. What shoots out of the cannons leading up to Bobinsky's Mouse Circus?

3. What word or phrase appears at the very end of the credits that is for people "in the know"?

I'll bet you'd like to see the prize that you're attempting to win. How do these look?

The winner will be notified as soon as I pick him/her, but I won't post the name here. I don't want the rest of the world to hate you for winning this truly awesome gift set. Good luck, everyone!
