Fun Fact: Mr Bobinsky’s medal is is a liquidator medal meaning he was active in the clean up of Chernobyl. His blue skin is likely a side effect of all the extra background radiation

[@MySushiBear]

I literally never knew this. 😭

[@ScreenMaureen]

Seems like such a nice fun guy.

[@evanwebb6374]

Partially the reason, the directors also said that its because of all the beets he eats, which turns your skin blue, similar to how your skin turns orange if you eat too many carrots

[@nevanvictorian]

Nice point

[@MattTOB618]

​​​@@evanwebb6374 And beets are commonly said to be helpful in dealing with the side effects of radiation exposure (no idea if it's actually true, but I've heard multiple people claim it in reference to Bobinsky).

Theory about Wybie's Grandma : She won't rent to families with children because she knows about the Beldam, she said that her sister was 'stolen' whilst others think she ran away, but gave up trying to convince others or convinced herself that it was a story she came up with to explain her sister's disappearance. My guess is both of them went to the Other Realm, and whilst her sister accepted the deal, she refused and had to escape.

[@ScreenMaureen]

That is a good guess! So spooky!😯

[@Camothor10]

Not really a theory, that is exactly what happened

[@sidneywashington7108]

You kept in all the scary parts that reactors edit out sometimes! You made me remember how scary this movie actually is 😂😮 loved this reaction

[@ScreenMaureen]

Thank you! I was surprised at how scary it was! Loved it! 😯

[@evanwebb6374]

it's mentioned in the movie that there was an "accident" and Coraline says to her mom "it's not my fault you hit that truck" when her mom points to her neck brace, it's heavily implied that the reason they moved to the pink palace wasn't specifically work related but rather that they had to find somewhere much cheaper due to Mel's (coraline's mom's) medical bills causing a lot of financial issues because of how expensive Healthcare is in the US. Also Miriam Forcible and April Spink are a lesbian couple, that has nothing to do with the paragraph above, I just thought it was neat

[@ScreenMaureen]

Thanks for the insights Evan! Very neat! 🤗

[@ugib8377]

Just happened into your channel today. This was a great first experience. Coraline is a great, and creepy movie. Side note. Yes, spiders hunt the prey they've trapped by their vibrations through the web. It's pretty cool.

[@ScreenMaureen]

Welcome and thank you for watching! It was so creepy! 😊😯

[@feef5791]

Facts: The Other World Garden has Coraline's face, and the Real World Garden has the Other Mother's face

[@alfredonavarro9526]

I'm glad you've decided to continue dipping your toes into the world of stop-motion animation. A common theme with stop-motion is a sort of "camp-fire scary story" vibe. The expressions that they are able to achieve using these figures is amazing and lends so well to the story telling.

[@blackabsinthe]

Thank you SO much Maureen! Coraline has been my favorite movie since i was a little kid, Im so glad I could watch it with you!

[@justin5822]

It's such a good movie!

[@ScreenMaureen]

You're welcome! ;)

[@gracedolan6662]

I'm very late to this video, I just found your channel, but I wanted to let you know in case you see my comment that the calming influence you've had on me today has been invalvuable. I'm 22 and house/bedbound, and lately my disabilities have worsened and I'm finding it so tough. But today you made me smile, and feel a little calmer. Thank you so so much (and thank you for covering one of my favourite films!)

[@docbrown538]

If you like reading, you should definitely read the book this is based on! Despite being a children's novel, its actually quite a bit darker than the movie in some places. Of course, i dont expect a whole book review video or anything, just thought it'd be something fun you can do in your free time. I haven't read it in years but this one bit sticks with me: "I swear it on my own mother's grave." "Does she have a grave?" asked Coraline. "Oh yes," said the other mother. "I put her in there myself. And when I found her trying to crawl out, I put her back."

[@ScreenMaureen]

Thank you for the suggestion and thank you for watching! I was so surprised at how spooky it was! 😯

[@STOCKHOLM07]

At the end - "And it still looks like Coraline". Look again. Great reaction.

[@snakehandler87]

22:58 "she said that she loved us, but she locked us here and ate up our lives" that line gives me shivers everytime I hear it, also was hoping you'd watch the after credits clip

[@prince_p0ss]

Same with “but I remember my true mommy :(“ the ghost children were so hauntingly sad (pun intended)

[@duhmico]

First time seeing you, I adored the reaction! Coraline especially holds a place in my heart, so seeing first time reactions to it always tickle me pink. There;s so many little bits about the movie that I'm sure everyone already pointed out, but something that might not have been brought up is the graphic novel that's based off the book! Very different feel than the movie, at least to me, and a bit creepier in my opinion. The other Mother especially freaks me out in the graphic novel, but the movie version is just iconic to me. If you're into stop motion animation, Kubo and the Two Strings + Isle of Dogs are both top notch in my opinion. Thanks for the reaction!

[@ScreenMaureen]

Lol it was very spooky! Thank you for that info and thank you for watching! I'll check out those two movies; stop animation is so amazing! :)

[@lilianarios-garcia2185]

i love that you incorporated the kitchen into your background!

[@ScreenMaureen]

Thank you!! 😊

[@EmperorAmbrose]

Fun fact about the writing on the cake: The o in “welcome” has one loop, while the “home” has two. One loop signifies whenever someone is being honest while two loops speaks of dishonesty. There are many other hidden hints like this, such as the other father saying “the piano plays me”, referring to the other mother being in control. A lot of other neat details in this movie!

[@jackierpeel]

Coraline is my favorite movie, I watch it all the time over and over. I even bought Coraline things to decorate my room with!! So seeing your reaction is refreshing, someone who doesn’t know about the movie. Reminds me of my first time 💙💙

[@mikkelturtvig]

in the book the "lesson" was a bit more direct. whrn the other mr B offered her whatever she wants she responds with "don't you get it, I don't want whatever I want"

[@jackierpeel]

Omfg your background is so AMAZING!!!!

[@yuh2620]

you’re such a sweet reactor :)

[@ScreenMaureen]

Thank you! 🤗

[@ju2545]

Fun fact: In the book, Coraline is British cuz the author, Neil Gaiman is British. Fun fact #2: there are theories that Coraline never actually escaped. In the book, the ghost boy said once he saw the Beldam, he never saw his true mom again.

[@JavierCoronel-vo6yt]

In the book Coraline only goes to the other world ones and when she returns her parents already disappeared

[@MySerpentine]

I suspect that Coraline was screwed as soon as she ate in the other world. That's traditional, for faerie stories.

[@gisellemunoz8365]

I love all your reactions it’s like you know exactly what your viewers want you to watch.😊 I have a great recommendation. “Marley and me.” If you have t watched it. It’s about a dog and it’s life with owners. The dog is a lot to handle but so loving I know for a fact you will love it ❤ thank you for your time on reacting and editing we all appreciate you so much

[@ScreenMaureen]

🙏🏼

Why are you wanting to watch this sweet woman cry

[@hailey.dionna]

my fav movie of all time, watched it in 2009 when i was 6 in 3d all alone lol. i was scared but loved it! also appreciated the Michigan rep. love these reviews/reactions!

[@stephenn1782]

I watched this in theaters as a kid and did not understand much of it. It wasn’t until years later that I grew to appreciate this gem.

I could watch this movie everyday without getting tired of it

[@MarcoCandela]

How they managed, technically, to do this movie is CRAZY! Have you ever seen "The nightmare before Christmas" from the same director?

[@3emeraldangel]

My niece and nephew love this movie. One of our favorites that we watch every Halloween! Ive always loved stop motion, its because of the hard work put into them that makes them go all out, as a result are even more special. Its definitely a starter horror movie. My niece and nephew now love all scary movies.

[@ScreenMaureen]

It was definitely a horror! 😯 Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching!

[@kate6040]

The book this movie is based on is so creepy!! It was almost not even published had it not been for one brave little girl who read it first. She lied and said she wasn’t scared all because she wanted to know what would happen next. Spoilers: For one thing the tunnel is a living entity. When Coraline was escaping with the ghost children and her parents, the book describes the tunnel as covered in fur and it was moving like it was breathing. Coraline touches the wall and it felt wet and sticky as if she put her hand in something’s mouth. 😨

[@ScreenMaureen]

It sure was creepy! 😯

[@kerilowell70]

I’ve got to reread it cause I do not remember that at all

[@jigsawwolf3414]

you are the cutest person alive🫶🏻🫶🏻

Loved the commentary. I've always felt so bad for Wybie (real world and other world) and other world father. In the books and the movie.

[@masonduarte8001]

Another great movie I recommend you react to is the little prince 2015. It's a very creative kids film that has themes of loss, grief, and love

[@radiantkylie]

I'm loving your reaction videos ❤ May I ask if you do your own editing or have help? I've been interested in making reaction videos but am unsure how to get started. Great content!!

[@ScreenMaureen]

Thank you! My husband does most of the editing. I am slowly learning myself. There are a lot of good videos on KZbin on how to start reaction channels. A phone and editing software is enough to get started. DaVinci Resolve is free and has a fairly easy learning curve my husband said. I hope to see a reaction of yours soon! 🤗

[@sockpop]

youre the first reactor to remember that she had to go back through the tunnel since she crawled through during the day the 3rd time. As an ultimate fan of this movie since i was 7, and have watched so many people watch and react to this movie, I have never caught that fact.

[@ScreenMaureen]

I'm quite observant at times and sometimes I'm not! Lol! Thank you for watching with me! 🤗

[@laylareyes7733]

Can you watch Silent Hill? That and Coraline are my favorite movies

[@aranerem5569]

Hello there

[@mevvo413]

Love your reactions!!!! Coraline is my favorite movie, it has so many hidden details in it!🪡

[@marianavase8805]

Coraline is an allegory to drug addiction. She is unhappy in her reality and finds a way to escape, but every time she escapes to that fantasy world it is harder to return. In the end she manages to win with the help of others who have gone through the same thing (the spirits of the children) who help her close the door.

[@dcemerald70]

Amazing reaction to this film! It’s literally the best family horror film that quite a dark and twisted yet humorous and entertaining. If you loved this, I must recommend Monster House, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and Hocus Pocus 1-2. 😆😇😱😈🪡🐈‍⬛🖤💛💙🩷 𝙵𝚞𝚗 𝙵𝚊𝚌𝚝𝚜: * Beldame means an old woman, a malicious and ugly woman; especially an old one, a witch. * When the Other Father is “playing” the piano, his song is a warning to Coraline about the Other Mother’s true nature. * If you listen to the Other Mother when she hums, she is literally singing the lullaby from the beginning. You can hear her humming it as well when she’s cooking in the kitchen. * In a way, she is very similar to the Devil himself. They both cannot create but only duplicate and manipulated to make it seem tempting. They both wish gain power, they can’t resist a challenge to try to show how superior they are, they always lie with fake promises, and they both try to gain human souls. The fact that the Other Mother has them let her sow the buttons for eyes, she gains more power and has their souls trapped there. There is an old saying is that the eyes are the windows to the soul. Therefore by having their eyes she has their soul trapped in the Other World.
