Hey there internet people!

Do you have any suggestions for internet marketing? What sort of things do you see online that make you excited for a movie? What would you like to see? What turns you off? If you belong to a fan community, what gets them going?

Inquiring minds would like to know! Your input could lead to a significant reduction in eye-rolling and shuddering in the near future.

I thought the marketing that Coraline is doing is rather interesting. They chose 50 people to send trunks to, full of props and information about the movie.

And they each received a password unlocking little featurettes about how the movie was made. I think almost all of them have posted their passwords online, so everyone has access to them.

While i doubt Disney would do the same, it is a very interesting idea, and I thought quite novel.

(i meant more about the sending of props and such to random people. WHILE ID LOVE to have concept art from lets say Princess and the Frog, its doubtful that they would send real copies around lol)

I still have a tiny piece of Lion King reel that was in this animation kit i got when i was ten. LOL. (Banzai laughing, its not too interesting lol)

Ah, you neglect to mention some of the other fascinating marketing Coraline is doing! Like a random house having Coraline keys stapled all over it, and how you could possibly win one of a thousand custom Coraline Nike dunks from entering a password you get by watching it in the theatre. My favourite is that I've heard tell of parts of subway walls being painted so that, as the subway goes by, it animates. I assume that the bars inbetween windows act as natural shutters here. That would certainly be interesting to see!

They've got a series of screens between Hollywood/Highland and Universal City Station on LA's red line that do the same, and it is pretty neat. I saw a Wall-E ad there. Somehow actual physical paintings (or even prints) is more impressive, though ...
