Actually, the novel is way, wayyyy darker. The rats are everywhere. They sing disturbing songs in Coraline's dreams and everything in the other world is organic and decaying. Also the tunnel to the other world is alive. It's an ancient being, far older than the Beldam.

[@IsaiahRichards692]

The reason Coraline has such calm reactions to these bizarre scenes is because of her personality; She’s innocent and wants to explore, but is slightly skeptical. Ex: When she arrives in the alternate universe, she just wants to explore, when she sees something disturbing, she tries to hide her fear, when she’s told she’s in danger, she brushes it off and assumes she’s tough enough to fight the danger off!

Coraline is literally me XD I accidentally cut my ankle TWICE in a row with a razor, and it looked like a murder scene in the shower. After it stopped bleeding(which took a while to do, and a lot of bloody wipes were left over), I didn't go down to ask for pain reliever, I just fashioned my own kind of bandage using another folded-up wipe and some string. My parents told me to get medicine and an actual bandage, but I just brushed it off and handled it on my own!

[@UbinTimor]

When a cat brings their owner dead things it's taken as a show of affection. Wyborn getting excited about it (although from his tone it's more of sarcastic goofy excitement) comes from the fact that he knows what it means when a cat does that. Even though he doesn't consider the cat his he still appreciates the sentiment. I've known plenty of cat owners who get excited when their cat brings them a dead mouse or bird or things like that and they're clearly not serial killers or anything like that- I guess it's an Oregon thing to be excited about stuff like that. it's like getting excited when you call your dog's name for the first time and they come to you, or you teach them a new trick or if you own a dog that was bred for hunting and they get their first kill. Things like that show that your pet loves you or at least cares about you.

[@ravenshirwood5201]

Exactly! I feel like a lot of little things like this put him off when it’s really not all that strange. And I felt like he just didn’t like Wyborn at all.

[@angelangelis8362]

To be fair, I think he was just playing that up for laughs. Wyborn is rather socially awkward and it can come off as creepy...I should know, I was/am like that myself, but you two have good points as well.

[@ravenshirwood5201]

That’s a good point too! My only problem is that if it’s being done for laughs, the joke is at Wyborn’s expense. What’s funny about calling a kid a future serial killer? About calling him a mistake? Saying that his parents called him Wyborn because they didn’t want him? Sure, he’s not real, but if he was, what would be funny about that? Nothing. It’s just mean-spirited.

[@LoveStruckLoner]

I live in Oregon and I own cats and I can agree that most cat owners get excited over dead animals on their doorsteps. Although my cat is a little silly.. she brings me giant worms after it rains thinking that they're snakes

[@UbinTimor]

@@angelangelis8362 I understood that it might have been made as a joke, I just wanted to clarify that getting excited about things like that is natural- especially if that animal is your only source of affection- just in case someone might have thought it was weird to be like that.

Fun fact: if you notice the handwriting on the cake that says “welcome home” there’s a double loop on the “o” from the word “home” and it’s been said that when a person writes an “o” with a double loop in it, said person is lying, meaning that she IS welcome but she is not home ;)

She is spirited but also has a sort of edge to her, so she just blows it off like its no big deal or all just hoax warnings and "tall tales".

12:15 I did notice while I was watching this film the other day, even though the cat says "I just can," he ONLY talks in the supernatural realm. When the cat returns to the real world with Coraline, even though he can still understand her, he can only communicate in meows.

One thing I always found extra creepy that few seem to pick up on is even after the Beldam reveals it's true forms it continues to talk in Coraline's mother's voice. We never hear it's real voice and Coraline now has this monster talking to her in her mother's voice.

[@dank_smirk2ndchannel200]

If Whyborn is a serial killer in the making, then Coraline is a serial killer victim in the making, considering her complete lack of a sense of danger.

"Steve Reviews: Coraline" We've made it, we actually made it!

[@isabellap.8830]

Even though some of Corallines choices might be odd or don’t make sense, remember this is a kid who is bored out of her mind, has parents that are always busy or won’t help, and is feeling slightly rebellious because she’s still mad they made her move away from her friends. Most if not all of her reactions and choices make sense, sure if your older and watching this you would be like “why would you go through that tunnel” but as kids who don’t know everything like red flags and much more, her choices make a lot of sense and as a kid who grew up exactly like Coralline (I mean have parents who were always busy and just weren’t there when I needed help, moving away from all my friends to a old house and etc) I would of done the exact things she would of and had very similar reactions.

I think Coraline’s not very scared or unsettled by the Other World because it implies the first two times she visited it in her dream. You often are more relaxed and curious in a dream than in real life.

I remember when I was at my grandmas house in 2009, she bought the movie for me and my sisters to watch and they were pretty creeped out after watching it. I thought it was minor lol, just a little creepy that’s all. It’s funny because I was only 6 years old.

[@primus0348]

heres a little story: when school was ending, i had civics class, and since we didn’t have work we decided to watch this film, it was a very entertaining film although we had to end the film when Caroline was talking to the other mother about hide and seek (the scene that i think is close to the ending of the movie) but when that scene (1:05) came up we were shocked and we told the teacher to skip that part, i never EVER expected that kind of a scene to be in a kids film.

She's not showing anything. It's meant to be a performance with artistic nudity. The human body (including the female body) isn't inherently sexual.

The Coraline doll making scene is way more satisfying to me than the Woody fixing scene (which I never found satisfying ngl).

This movie has by far been my favorite movie ever, I love the stop motion animation, the un explained lore that leaves us the readers of the graphic novel and the movie watchers to explore and come up with theories, and just the great "eye bleaching scenes" (I've become somewhat of a deep and gruesome scene person, saw is another franchise I really like) and I just really enjoy Coraline. 10/10 would watching again for the 9th time
