Coraline Pitch Meeting

Get into the spooky Halloween season with the Pitch Meeting that started Coraline! Subscribe for more Pitch Meetings: goo.gl/ho3Hg6
Caroline is the perfect movie for children. If your children enjoy movies where terrifying spider-needle-ladies want to rip your eyes out and replace them with buttons-- then trap your soul in their evil magic realm for so long you forget who you are. In terms of kids movies, Coraline is pretty much at the top of the list of the creepiest out there. So how did the movie come to be? Why is it is so weird and creepy? What’s up with Other Mother agreeing to vague plot device games? Or creating entities that have free will and an understanding of good and evil? To answer all these questions and more, step inside the pitch meeting that led to the hit stop-motion animation feature Coraline! It’s super easy, barely an inconvenience.

[@mysterycupofjoe2670]

Nice reasoning.

[@ButterflyScarlet]

I think it was just to give Coraline help, to make this movie more of an adventure instead of a straight up horror. In the book, Wyborn doesn't exist and Other Father doesn't help her. In the film, if they'd stuck to that plot it would have ruined the tone since Other Father was shown to be far more affectionate and easygoing.

So I've just recently found these. This one is by far my favorite so far. It had me dying.

[@geekbyhart2189]

This is one of the best pitch meetings ever.

[@leilanibelanger9937]

The fact that I watched this movie pretty much weekly from ages like 5-8 and never got scared or had nightmares really explains a lot about my personality.

[@jamesedjones]

Absolutely love it when the producer plays the voice of reason in these.

[@vladimirlagos2688]

Funny thing about Coraline is that it gets scarier as you become older and more discerning. Kids barely register it as just another faery tale movie, but for a smart adult, it is the stuff of nightmares.

[@Wolfsheim23]

How does it get scarier? What is so frightening that hasn't been in many kids stories like wizard of oz, or Alice in Wonderland, or Hansel & Gretel? Here's one way scarier. Something Wicked This Way Comes.

[@johnbones3455]

@@Wolfsheim23 Because the story of your children being driven into the arms of a dangerous killer is horrifying on its own, but it’s worse with the idea that YOUR negligence (intentional or otherwise) is what drove them to said killer.

[@Wolfsheim23]

@@johnbones3455 That's not horror, it's just Drama. And in this sense its Fairytale Drama. So unless kids stories frightened you as a child. It shouldn't be scary. What scares people is relative though. To some being on a highrise looking down is horrifying. This movie is beautiful though and there is so much charm throughout, I don't see how it can build enough dread.

[@Julia-lk8jn]

@@Wolfsheim23 Adult fear: your little child goes off adventuring on something fairly harmless - there's this small door in the new home, let's see what's behind it! - and then suddenly she's in danger and you don't even know about it, and can't reach her either.

[@amityislandchum]

@@johnbones3455 If that's what you find scary about this movie, you're probably afraid of every single movie about kids ever made. I'd say it becomes more horrifying as an adult because adults in general are more frightened by the uncanny valley.

[@LadyAneh]

Fun fact: Wybie doesn’t exist in original story; he’s just a plot device to make it more cinematic.

[@juicebox7372]

Actually it was because they wanted Coraline to have someone to talk to thats wasn't herself or a cat. Basically they wanted her to have more interaction with actually kids or a kid

[@Steelburgh]

@@Azurath100 I thought Coraline was creepier than 95% of actual horror movies. Psychological horror is way worse than slasher nonsense.

[@lunarskys2645]

I don't wanna take away your thunder but I saw that when was about 8 and loved it; rewatched it all alone, then read the book (which is even scarier) all without nightmares or anything. Horror movies depend on the person though.

[@agentofmidgard]

My older friend showed me this movie 12 years ago when I was 9 and it scarred me for life. I only got the courage to rewatch it today, at 21 y/o. It's still as creepy as I remembered. The only difference is that I didn't know it was stop motion back then and now I was amazed at how detailed it was..

[@Dash101]

If I recall this and Monster House were the only two animations to give me nightmares

[@zpardus]

I think other-wybie and other-father warned her, and other-mother agreed to the game, because the whole point was to manipulate Coraline into throwing the key down the well. The well was buried over for a reason, and the lid looks like a button from beneath. In other words, the Beldame is a witch of the well, and needed the key to be given to her in the physical world by free will. So... other-mother won and is now free to roam.

[@Jew225]

Also at the end the cat goes through a portal, even though there’s no place to go to, implying she’s actually still stuck in the other world, and the other mother has made it look like the real world.
