Some wonderful lines from the book: Other Mother: I swear it on my mother's grave. Coraline: Does she even have a grave? Other Mother: Oh yes. I put her in there myself. And when I found her trying to crawl out I put her back in it.

[@EmpathNaga]

"You know I love you, Coraline." Despite herself, Coraline nodded. It was true, The Other Mother loved her. But she loved her like a miser loved money or a dragon loved its gold. In the Other Mother's button eyes, Coraline was a possession, nothing more. A tolerated pet whose behavior was no longer amusing.

[@EmpathNaga]

It seemed to Coraline that the house was crouching, and staring down at her, as if it were not really a house but only the idea of a house - and the person who had had the idea, she was certain, was not a good person.

I always loved the paragraph when she steps into the door for the first time, "It opened on to a dark hallway. The bricks had gone as if they'd never been there. There was a cold, musty smell coming through the open doorway: it smelled like something very old and very slow." But I especially love when she leaves the other house, "Coraline took a deep breath and stepped into the darkness, where strange voices whispered and distant winds howled. She became certain that there was something in the dark behind her: something very old and very slow. Her heart beat so hard and so loudly she was scared it would burst out of her chest. She closed her eyes against the dark."

[@miaatarantino]

this just convinced me to read the book too because i never read it since i saw the movie first (and I was 7 when it came out) and I thought it wouldn’t be fun to read if I already know the story but those lines you quoted sounded awesome and worth reading

[@yunisverse]

I think an important detail with the Coraline's mom's attitude is that they were just in a car accident, and she's in a neck brace--not only are they stressed from lack of money, she's also probably in a decent amount of pain. It's not an excuse for her being so snippy with Coraline, but in the end I feel like it's a great depiction of flawed but very human adults and how that makes the ultra-devoted perfection of the Other Parents so tempting in comparison.

Interesting tidbit about the man who lives upstairs though, apparently the medal he wears is a liquidation medal - which is a medal gifted to ones who helped with clean up efforts in Chernobyl. Which is why he's blue, its from radiation posioning. And something that helps radiation poisoning is beet root, which is what he eats. So the man upstairs is actually a Chernobyl survivor.

I absolutely love how Coraline's parents are written in this movie. They're a realistic portrayal of what overworked parents going through a stressful time are like: they're curt and exasperated when talking with Coraline, but they still maintain a level of care and empathy for her. On the complete opposite end of that spectrum, the Other Mother is a character that only becomes creepier as you get older. She love bombs Coraline from the moment they meet, and she never shows any emotion other than unnatural cheeriness until she fails to pressure Coraline to do something that she's not comfortable with. I think this movie is incredibly important to show to young kids, despite how many nightmares it'll give them. It tells them two important things: - Your parents are people just like everyone else and, although their stress might get the better of them sometimes, they still love you. - Be wary of people who constantly give you everything you want. If something seems too good to be true, then it probably is.

Fun fact about mr bobinski, the reason his skin is blue is because he canonically participated in the Chernobyl cleanup. Which also means he could be in his mid 50s to early 60s at the youngest. Making his insane acrobatic skills even more impressive.

[@amarasin]

This movie was originally a book by a man named Neil Gaiman, who wrote the book for his five year old daughter. She was into the more eerie things like this. As you saw in the beginning, the Beldam (also known as a witch) uses the dolls she makes to watch her victims current lives and lures them to her world as a better version of the child's original home and lifestyle. Being an evil witch she has a different diet and it's kind of like the Hocus Pocus witches. In order to continue living she eats the souls of her victims. Then she takes the doll back and makes a new one like you saw in the beginning. So... the old doll before Coraline was a victim that had already lost their life. Pretty dark. Lol.

[@amarasin]

Also, this is just a theory, but I believe the whole "your eyes must be buttons" is because of the saying "The eyes are the key to the soul". Remember how finding the dead children's eyes were so important? And once they gave up their eyes they lost their lives. That's probably how the Beldam eats.

So honestly yes, the mom _is_ kind of a bit of a jerk. Just keep in mind though that we are seeing this from Coraline’s point of view, so it is not going to be entirely objective.

to me she's not a bad person/mother, she's under a lot of stress because they had just moved in, and they had to finish work before a specific deadline, and as you say it's all from coraline's perspective and as a child she doesn't understand her parents' stress

The song the Other Father performs has multiple hints to the Other Mothers true intentions. The most obvious being the song literally says “OUR EYES WILL BE ON CORALINE” referring to the buttons the Other Mother attempts to sew in Coraline’s eyes. Hell, the Other Father saying “So sharp you won’t feel it” before immediately wincing in pain was also a warning.

[@AuzzieAnxiety]

[@MetaLatias5]

I know people already corrected you guys on how this is a Henry Selick movie, not a Tim Burton one, in fact, Tim Burton had nothing at all to do with this one (whereas in Nightmare Before Christmas he at least made the original poem and with it the character designs), but I'd also like to point out that this is a Laika movie The studio Laika has made a handful of truly amazing Stop Motion movies so far (in order: Coraline, ParaNorman, Boxtrolls, Kubo and the two strings and Mister Link) and I can only recommend every single one of them Also, some neat fun facts for Coraline: - The original book was written by Neil Gaiman, whose publisher (if I'm not mistaken) was hesitant to publish the book as intended because they thought it'd be too scary for kids, so Neil Gaiman suggested they read it to their own kid first and see what they think. The kid claimed they loved it so it got greenlit. Years later the kid admitted that they were actually scared out of their mind by the story but wanted to know how it'd end so they pretended they weren't scared - Wybie was created purely for the movie version, he's not in the book - Coraline's knitted clothes were actually hand-knitted with tiny knitting needles, there's some amazing behind the scenes footage for it on KZbin, it's worth checking out (actually, pretty much all behind the scenes footage about stop motion movies like this are worth checking out tbh, but this is one that blew my mind a bit the first time I saw it) -if you pause on the right frame when the Other Mother cracks open an egg while cooking, you can actually see Jack Skellington's (Nightmare before Christmas) skull hidden in the yolk Both, Selick and Burton liked to hide Jack, or at least his skull, in some of their movies like this (also noteworthy in Beetlejuice and James and the Giant Peach) - not sure if it's actually confirmed, but supposedly Mr Bobinsky's blue skin came from him helping to clean up radioactive waste (I think from Chernobyl?), the badge he wears on his chest also points towards this - a popular theory (which is definitely not confirmed though) says that the well is actually another portal leading into the Other World, which would mean that Coraline practically gave the key back to the Other Mother in the end without realizing it. This is based on what Wybie says in the beginning about how people say that if you fall into the well you can see a sky full of stars in the middle of the day and the Other World having a nightsky full of stars even when Coraline comes over during the day

[@nowthatisawesome5431]

So many people don’t pay attention to what is going on with the parents and write them off as neglectful and/or horrible. Mainly because the story is being told from Coraline’s perspective. So let’s breakdown things from the parents point of view: They just moved but clearly have some serious money issues. The mom is wearing a neck brace and mentioned being in an accident. They only gave the movers a dollar tip. They didn’t do much in the way of grocery shopping and were eating mush. The mom made sure to get Coraline school clothes but couldn’t get her the gloves she wanted because they were only spending on the essentials. They started working on their catalog immediately before even fully unpacking. They kept mentioning work and being on a deadline. They worried about what would happen once they finished their work. Once the catalog was finished and they got paid, what happened? They were nicer and less stressed. They wanted to go out to eat to celebrate. The dad was playful with Coraline. The mom got her the gloves she wanted. They splurged on a pizza party for the entire apartment complex. When you see the contrast of the parents before and after, it was clear that money was at the root of the problem. Kids will never understand the intense stress and responsibility of having to provide for a family. And because they don’t understand, they can be selfish, restless, and bratty which just adds to the parents stress. The other mother completely took advantage of the situation to lure Coraline away from her real parents.

[@ShinoriDelfrim]

Yeah people really gotta pay attention more.

[@ChincerDante]

whats interesting about the parents is that when you are a child you think the "others" are so fun and cool, but when you are an adult..it just feels so wrong, something dont add up, and you have much more empathy for the real parents

A little fact: The Great Bobinsky is wearing this blue, red and gold medal.

The reason why the cat disappears behind the sign like that at the end is to signify that Coraline never made it out of the dream world. In the book, the ghost children stated that the moment you physically see the Beldam (other mother) you'll never see your true mother again. Which also probably explains why the moment she "defeats" the beldam, her "real life" magically takes a turn for the better. Almost like a never-ending loop.

[@cocoaicci_]

*should clarify this is one of the theories but it makes sense*

[@leritykay8911]

​@@cocoaicci_I mean it makes some sense, sure, but I don't really think that's the case. Counterpoint 1: In the book, the cat is shown to "teleport", walking behind a tree, but not walking out the other side. It's all based on how cats seemingly can get anywhere. I think that scene at the end is merely a reference to that, the cat just teleports/ goes to another world. Counterpoint 2: I don't think the ghost Children know what they are talking about. They are the only kidnapped children, and they ALL were selfish brats when they came to the other world. Perhaps none of them even tried to go back, until it was too late. And maybe it was inconceivable to them that someone would want to go back. It's not like they become omnipotent in death. So, *as far as they know*, you can't see your mother again. Counterpoint 3: So, what was the Beldam's plan? Make a whole other world, where everything is nice, but also obviously fake with button eyes. And then... Create a fake normal world, with perfect replicas of buttonless people? And places outside the pink palace? And also, people in the fake-normal world warning Coraline about the other world? And then... Do that whole thjng by pretending to be rather weak in the other world, like she could only create so much? And after her defeat, Beldam then creates a perfect, buttonless, expansive fake-normal world for Coraline?? Presumably for a long time? And the cat, despite still being in the dream world, doesn't talk? And leaves Coraline in the fake world? Is he evil? I just can't wrap my head around Beldam's actions

@@eleven-hopper Ok, that's giving Tim a little too much credit lol. He didn't literally do everything else. There are dozens of people who contributed to that film in terms of story, design, music, etc., and that includes Henry Selick.

[@eleven-hopper]

@@JessAnderson1988 well yeah, obviously he didn't do everything else (i was just exaggerating on that) when there's so many people involved as that goes with any movie ever, i was more so just talking about it between henry and tim and more so the things he did make it more of his project that anything else

[@JessAnderson1988]

@@eleven-hopper I recommend using less exaggeration in the future lol. As far as I can tell, your statement is still incorrect even without the exaggeration. Nightmare is a Tim Burton film, and he was involved in getting it made, but not as much as people think he was. As Henry Selick put it, "He wasn't involved in a hands-on way, but his hand is in it. I don't want to take away from Tim, but he was not in San Francisco when we made it. He came up five times over two years, and spent no more than eight or ten days in total."

The book of life is NOT a coco knock off! It's a great movie, though it does share some themes of Coco. I highly recommend watching it, it's really worth a watch if you never saw it!

[@LittleDarling-qw4gc]

Book of life is a few years older than Coco. How dare anyone say its a knock off.

[@grimmscarlet1690]

If you think the movie is nuts you should've read the book by Neil Gaiman. No flashy colourful tunnel- the tunnel in the book is more like the throat of something the book only describes as "slow and ancient". No rats made of sand- when the cat kills them they actually bleed. Also Coraline's parents aren't home once in the book. The book begins with them at work and they never make it home. Coraline has to use her pocket money to survive on her own in the house for several days. Also- the whole thing with the hand? Yeah, in the book the hand is not made of nails. It's just an actual, living, bleeding hand with really long fingernails. And don't even get me started on the scene with the other father... in the movie you have that chase sequence with the mantis bot through the garden... in the book that takes place in the house's basement and the other father... well let's just say he is slowly deteriorating into sludge.

[@mrsiraldo2544]

There was a real popular theory going on that the well is a second portal to the other world As where Wybie mentioned at the start of the movie "that if one was to fall in the well and look up, they would see a sky full of stars, even in the day-time." In the other World, it is ALWAYS night time. I love how so much hidden details are shown in this movie, here's my list of some: Portal Door Compared to Well: 10:08 - 53:14 Other-Fathers cryptic song: 11:07 (it was cut but he said "our eyes will be on Coraline) Other Mother telling Coraline what the Other Father is: 19:45 - 43:47 Other Mother giving a hint where Coralines parents are: 42:50 - 50:03 (sound of water dripping) And there's way more stuff! This movie was amazing 10/10 movie!

[@levithei]

The two movers in the beginning, and especially the guy receiving the dollar at 2:35 is in tribute to the Ranft Brothers, as the puppets are meant caricatures of real-life brothers and animation artists Joe and Jerome Ranft (Jerome, a sculptor at Pixar, provides the duo’s vocals). Joe Ranft worked with Henry Selick on both The Nightmare Before Christmas and James and The Giant Peach and was a valued member of the Pixar family. Selick’s tribute is a beautiful, fitting salute to a colleague and a friend (Joe passed away in 2005). Joe was also known for many roles like Squeakers the penguin in Toy Story, Jacque the Cleaning Shrimp in Finding Nemo, and even the caterpillar from A Bugs Life! My late grandfather was also childhood friends with them! :)

[@beansfriend7033]

The caterpillar from _A Bug's Life_ as in, Heimlich? That may be my favorite character in the film ... although Slim the Walking Stick and the Pill Bugs (Tuck and Roll) are also a hoot.

[@j_m_valentin4743]

They also breifly mention in the movie and show in the book that they got into a car crash on the way over that they have to pay off which is why the parents are stressed and working overtime to make more money. Something i didnt notice till a recent rewatch

[@dylandupre420]

Actually not Tim Burton, it was Henry Selick and Laika studios. But the book it's based on was written by Neil Gaiman😂 And also, the passage to the other world isn't an "anus" it's an esophagus, apparently the inside of an unknown entity that the other world exists within. Creepily enough, when Coraline made her way through the passage In the books she said she felt as if "something was following her through the passage", as if there was something else that lives in there too.

[@cristopherj1324]

16:13 BOOMY! Stop it with your one liners, you are killing me!

[@victorlannister5606]

Neil Gaiman wrote the book Coraline this has nothing to do with Tim Burton! Production is Laika that’s not associated with Disney!!!!!! Neil Gaiman has written some amazing works you guys should check more of them out!!!! Although the director did direct nightmare before Christmas! Henry ….. I don’t know how to spell his last name! Edit: Henry Selick

[@thecerebralkingofgames2563]

fun fact when the other father sang that song for Coraline he was trying to tell her that he is her friend & warn her that The Beldam was evil

[@nashi-a6947]

Love your reactions! But Tim Burton didn’t have anything to do with the production of this movie, Henry Selick is the director.

[@Botanical_brinn]

The predictions you guys made in the start would have been so cool for a movie! The others becoming dolls. The dolls stealing the places.. so errie!

[@slandracon3853]

All these years later, i realise the well works as a trap because its a fairy circle. (The mushroom circles you can sometimes find)

My favourite movie of all time ✨my mom used to take me and my sisters to block busters when we were younger and I’d always choose this film. I’m so thrilled you guys are watching this!

[@moistwrmonastring1017]

Yes! The blockbuster experience! This is my favourite film as well and everything, it makes me so so happy knowing other people are just as in love with this movie as I still am

[@merrenrose]

@@moistwrmonastring1017One of my sisters actually found me a Coraline doll quite recently, it was the last one on the shelf and she said she just had to get it for me, she knows just how much I love this movie. I’m so glad there’s so many people like yourself and others in these comments who hold this film so dearly ☺️✨

I loooove this movie so much! Maybe you didn’t have noticed but, each times Coraline eat the good food in the other world, the Other Mother NEVER eat anything she made for her and even the Other Father eat the food, that’s a clue she’s eating something else….

[@kenvaill300]

With how mysterious and many questions unanswered, the lore of this world is definitely worth looking into.

[@JadedArtworks]

This is my favorite childhood movie! It felt so refreshing to see some thing genuinely spooky and unsettling made for child audiences. That was good and not campy spooky.

[@ViaCRoz]

This movie is a work of art. It's been my sister's favorite movie since it came out. I'm glad you guys got a chance to watch this one. There is so much detail to pay attention to in this one and I'm glad you guys pointed so much out. I'm especially glad you noticed the other mother is the same person as the thing you saw at the beginning and -yes- the boobs are insane. At first, I too thought she may have burnt her parents when their doll went in the fire. 😅

[@kaylagaymon4873]

When I was young, I was afraid of Coraline. It reminds me of La La Loopsy dolls. The Beldam is so terrified. After watching it years later, it was actually funny 😱😱😱🤣🤣🤣

Is it weird to say that this movie never scared me once as a kid? It was one of my favorites growing up tbh…

[@Aldoshandow]

A great classic master piece, such a fantastic and bizarre world they´ve created. Good to see you guys dig in pretty well with the art direction and characters´design.

[@artistanthony1007]

I hated her mom and the dad to some extent as a kid but as an adult, I understand how they're feeling and side with them, I don't think Coraline is awful now but definitely selfish with my newfound respect, humbleness and understanding for the two parents.

[@shayla106]

I don’t think Coraline is selfish even with my compassion for the parents. I can see both sides. Wanting attention from your parents isn’t selfish.

[@strawberrixowl]

one of my fave movies of all time, I can legit recite the whole movie by heart. I've seen it soooo many times

[@user-vf8yr6hh1u]

If I had a nickle for every time Henry Selick's work got mistaken for Tim Burton, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't alot but it's weird that it happened twice.

[@emmafaubert9600]

If you liked this movie, the studio made plenty of other underrated beautiful one ! I especially think of Kubo and the two strings, I feel like there isn't a lot of people who talks about it and my god this is such a masterpiece in every aspect of the term. This isn't perfect obviously but it really deserves some attention !

[@barbararab6390]

Its believed that at the end, coraline kinda throwed the key back to the Beldam, the theory is that theres more than one portal, and the well is one of them, thats why the Cat was able to disapear at the end, the other world is still there.

[@SirBlasian411]

I’m sure others have said it, but Tim Burton has nothing to do with this movie. It is directed and written by Henry Selick, who also directed The Nightmare Before Christmas. The man needs more credit than he gets.

Man Neil “scary pants” Gaiman is a dark magician , between this and Sandman my dude… he knows some esoteric arcana

[@brianalambert1192]

I love the implications of the book. Any explanations on what the other mother is and what this place is are only vaguely explained. But the sense you get is that these are ancient eldritch horrors, and what's worse, the other mother isn't the scariest thing there. The corridor itself, Coraline realizes is a living thing. As she's escaping she touches the wall and it feels like it's the inside of someone's mouth moving like it's drawing breath while winds start whistling and Coraline knows that the corridor is much older than the other mother "It was deep, it was slow, and it knew she was there." Then there's the rat's chants that pop up throughout the book. "We are small but we are many, we are many but we are small. We were here before you rose and we will be here when you fall" "We have teeth and we have tails, we have tails and we have eyes We were here before you fell, you will be here when we rise." "We have eyes and we have nerveses, we have tails and we have teeth, You will get what you deserveses when we rise from underneath" Side note, never listen to this in audiobook format. These chants will haunt your nightmares.

Omg i was just scrolling and found this video. Coraline is my chilhood and uncomforting comfort movie. I was really into it that i even memorized the lines and i read the novel which is more darker than the movie. It gave me chills when i read the interview about the author of Coraline in the question asking him how he made or get the idea about the small door.

[@zane9014]

Oh, Book of Life? Hell yeah, love that movie

[@Kamenari37]

The mom is also kinda pissy in this movie due to an accident that happens just before they move in, and it's sort of implied that Coraline may have been at least partly responsible for what happened, hence her neckbrace.
