One detail you forgot was the fact that the old well was located in a fairy ring (ring of mushrooms) that Coraline unwittingly stepped in. In European mythology, stepping in a fairy ring is bad luck. The fairies punish the human who does this by trapping them in their realm forever.

There is the easter egg about the Coraline doll. When Coraline falls asleep in the other world, and her other parents are there, the Beldam is sitting in the chair. When it fades to the morning back in the real world, the doll is sitting in the chair, same as the Beldam. It's a hint that what the doll sees, the Beldam sees, they're connected.

No surprise that the Beldam is as ruthless towards her puppets as she is tricky and halfheartedly cruel to her prey. The Puppets don't actually "Eat" or starve and that is not the actual cruel part of it being placed on the other father, the part that is actually cruel to him is the fact that he is "Made" to think he is a real person, and so he is programmed to believe that he is wasting away for years apart at a time, in which he only have an idea what starving is like, and because he's been serving the Beldam for so long, that he does think he's real and starving man, on top of the fact that he is more of a dummy than the Beldam's other puppets, since he is the opposite of the more intellectually savvy Mr. Jones. That red-haired woman is not the Beldam, she is just some rando character talking on her phone, and the Beldam never uses a phone.

Ms. Spink and Forcible are both right when they argue. With the tea leaves, Spink said there's danger, but Forcible said there's a tall handsome beast. The beldam is tall and somewhat handsome in her real form. With the stone, it's good for bad things and lost things. It was given to Coraline during a bad time when her parents go missing, and it helped find the ghost eyes. I didn't notice some of the other details like the pantone color and the pin cushions. That's awesome.

I'm not quite sure if it's been stated yet, but in the scene where Coraline first eats at the dinner table in the otherworld, the mashed potatoes and gravy on her plate resemble a skull at some point. Also, there is a moment when the Beldam mispronounces Coraline's name after she {Coraline} refuses to sew buttons in her eyes. The Beldam tries to "calm" Coraline by stating that it is her "decision" but she says her name as /Carol/-/leen/. I wonder if that is indicative of the Beldam's facade glitching, or her web unwinding because Coraline starts to see through the "spell" of sorts...?

I have a theory that the doll faces we see in the Beldam's pincushion are Misses Spink and Forcible...and the other face we see is Bobinsky. I think everyone who lives in the Pink Palace, except for Coraline, is actually dead. Consider the use of color in the real world....everything is very dreary and washed out, including Coraline's parents. The house appears shabby and abandoned, with rotting food and no pictures. Coraline's parents seem very lackluster. The only bright pop of color and life in the real world is Coraline, herself. She is the thing that doesn't fit in that world. Then, she goes into the Other World, and everything is bright and colorful and a perfect reflection of Coraline's idyllic life (with good food, bright clothes and a perfect, loving family) and she is the one who stands out because she refuses to put buttons over her eyes.

The little Blue boy with ice cream is wearing a sailor suit. And there's a little toy boat in the tunnel. Also, have you noticed that the well is quite far from the house? Wells were usually close to the house. And near the driveway, you can see a rock wall that looks like a remnant of a castle. Maybe a remnant of a time when fairies existed. One of the ghost children is a fairy. Ms Lovats sisters hair sticks up in the same way the ghost boys hair does. It's just pinned down on one side. There's a rat watching her from an empty apple basket on a table at the beginning of the film. The children say she stole their eyes, but they aren't eyes. They are just toys. Which they don't know because they've lost their eyes. One of the toys looks like the Pixar star ball. The cat tells Coraline she is meat. And the Belle Dame is always trying to fatten her up. Coraline never goes back in the tunnel. She just falls asleep in the other world. After the Belle Dame tricked her into eating, she trapped her like Persephone was trapped in the under world. The Ghost children pull a sheet up over their bodies like they do when a person dies. Wybies head cranked to the side so far makes me think he's been in an accident. He always looks guilty. I don't think the Belle Dame would paint a place pink ans call it the Pink Palace. I think that's the work of Spink and Forcible. Spink is an Old English word for a particular birds cry. As annoying as Coraline is, she may well have caused the car accident by distracting her mom. A deleted scene shows a spider crawling into Coralines moms cup. Then she takes a sip. Then the spider crawls out.
