The other mother screaming “DON’T LEAVE ME, DON’T LEAVE ME, I’LL DIE WITHOUT YOU!” had me terrified as a little girl 😭

Faaaaaaam!!!! Same!!😨😨😨

i love that part it makes u actually a little scared so its nice

AND HOW THE DOOR KEPT GETTING CLOSER AMD CLOSER 😭 scared me sm as a child

[@de606returns6]

I'll never forget this movie, not only because it is a childhood favorite, but also because one of my old teachers had one of the Movie's directors visit our classroom and told us about the movie, I honestly think it was one of the coolest experiences I've ever had

[@pullimau8555]

wow great teachers, my teacher let us watch rango for 5 minutes and turned it of because it was to "violant"

Whatttttt that’s awesome

[@midnightmoon7257]

Fun fact this movie was confirmed to scare more adults then children

[@ryannixon4138]

As a kid, only the parts near the end scared me. As an adult, the creepiness REALLY gets to me and the implication that this is about predation is terrifying.

[@arelisanchez7821]

This thing always gives me the creeps. Can't watch it by myself.

[@rumeemeka-okafor3746]

It’s so crazy as well cause this movie was hinting at how child predators work, and how negligent parents provide them access to their kids. 😮

[@rumeemeka-okafor3746]

It’s so accurate the kind of form the other mother chose to take in being spider like. She took her TIME laying that trap for coraline even before she arrived at the pink palace. Then she sat back and waited for her to be lured in and didn’t give herself away immediately. Brilliant! So many hidden gems in this movie, and symbolic things. Love it 👌👌👌

[@brennapardilla10]

i remember watching coraline for the first time as a 12 year old on tv and i was so traumatized but rewatching it now that i’m older i’ve grown fond of it

[@unnamed6650]

Same, although I was way younger. This is a pure gem

[@camux223]

I was 7 and my dad took me to see it at the movies hahaha I had nightmares with the spider hand

[@amethysttttt209]

i was only 3 years old when coraline came out. this movie also always scared me as a kid

[@sethaasland5705]

don’t know if someone else has already pointed this out, but the “welcome home” cake has a huge implication. when it comes to graphology, if the letter O in a word is written with a double loop, it means the person is lying with whatever word the double looped O is written with. the word “welcome” is written with a single loop, meaning that coraline is welcome, but the word “home” is written with a double loop, meaning she is not home. i was amazed when i first learned that.

[@shyannemarshall7163]

If you thought the movie was creepy, the book (written by Neil Gaiman) the movie is based on is even more unnerving. Towards the end, it's implied that the corridor Coraline travels through was a part of something alive and far older than the Other Mother.

[@drizma]

You're actually completely right, this was too scary for children. The original editor for the book (which was apparently even scarier than the movie) thought it might be, so he read it to his daughter. She said it wasn't too scary, so they went ahead and published it. It wasn't until years alter when she told him the book terrified her, she just didn't want him to think she was a coward. Also, at the end of the book, the key fall into the Other Mother's hand. Remember at the start of the movie, when she released the doll into what looked like space? I'm pretty sure that was the bottom of the well, from which (like Wybie said) you could see stars shining.

[@kamuidere]

That might explain why the garden still looked like Coralines face at the end, and how the cat was still able to pass through the other world if the other mother was supposed to have died without coraline

[@MySerpentine]

She wanted to know the end, too.

[@bradleybarnett1469]

Sorta right, sorta wrong. She wanted to know how it ended because it wasn't complete yet.

[@xxZenalAxx8936]

This also kinda makes it seem horrifying since the key just went through the well back into the realm of the other mother.

[@arriola4744]

Good theory

[@faithanncee]

I love that y’all start all the movie videos with “in the classroom” rap😁

[@rumeemeka-okafor3746]

“We don’t discriminate”😂😂😂😂

[@danielpaci4859]

You know this was an interesting film about learning what parents really do when it seems that they don't show any care for children, is like Treasure Planet, that I hope you will watch next time because is fantastic, as your reactions

[@maddiiee1]

I second watching Treasure Planet

[@1189sms]

I third watching Treasure Planet!!

[@avibabyo.o6738]

Here is a theory I found and loved. The other mother makes everything out of the sand used in the intro...when she made the coraline doll. BUT the more sand she uses the less control she has over them. Which explains why whybe and the other father helped coraline. Even when the other father was attacking her in the garden he kept apologizing and saying, "mother is making me". She needs the child souls to have these powers which is why she was desperate for coraline in the end. she was already weak when she first met coraline. Another theory was the reason the cat can talk and do so much is because he is actually whybe's great grandfather. aka grandmas' father. He found out what happened to his other daughter (the missing sister) and was changed into a cat (i forgot how) so he could protect any children who would live in the Pink House. Thats why the beldam does not like cats. p.s they say the mushrooms around the well symbolize magic meaning it is another opening to the other world...in the end the beldam gets what she wants.

[@officialtoiletpaper]

it’s so weird because this movie made us as kids feel uncomfortable in a way but it was so addictive to watch. it was one of my favorite movies and still is. the other mother’s world was so captivating, she could’ve EASILY took me😂

[@Lee-im5fq]

OMG SERIOUSLY?! Since I was a child, I loved horror, and therefore it was my favorite cartoon. Creepy atmosphere, strange music…I watched this work several times in a row! I loved, love and will love Coraline. Thank you very much for your reaction! It's amazing! I didn't expect at all🖤❤️

[@mariakal605]

"If I was a kid, I'd be traumatized.......Not me tho" lmaooo 😂 stop the cap

[@AadenKDragon]

I love this movie so much. I love that in the real world, the people are the ones in color while the world around them is full and gray but in the Other world the world is colorful and the people are gray. Because in reality, it's the people who make things worth experiencing. It's the people who make things good and colorful. But the Other mother couldn't make the people colorful because they were just her pawns. They were extensions of herself so she couldn't breathe nonexistent life into them. Later, Coraline and her family and their neighbors made the garden colorful and lively because they were finally doing something together and breathing life into the garden. This movie has amazing symbolism and it makes my heart happy 🥰

[@rumeemeka-okafor3746]

The Mr Bobinskey in the other world, represents how he used to look when he was younger and in his prime running a circus

[@arc7853]

Haven't seen this channel much lately as I don't watch that much anime, but I'm happy to see this channel has 4 times the amount of subscribers, keep up the good work

Thanks for this comment 🤞🏾

[@nugget3878]

I loved this movie when i was a kid , I always found it weird how people found it scary , I still find it weird oh people are scared of it, I love it. Also at the end of the movie where the cat walks into the post , it telling the viewers that the other world isn't destroyed completely, as long as she exist he can still go , meaning she got the key back , it's a whole theory , look it up

[@HushpuppyJas]

I think its pretty easy to see how this would scare people lol

[@Cole.c514]

Or that he was done his work and finally left. Meow.

[@nugget3878]

@@Cole.c514 I doubt it because he himself said that he can hope between worlds only if that one still existed

[@nugget3878]

@Jas yea I still can't see it , this movie is so cool , pretty and amazing

[@tau-5794]

I don't think that the Beldam actually got the key back, since her hand that was separated was trying to stop Coraline from throwing the key back in the well. Then instead of trying to drag Coraline into the well she tried dragging her back to the house. The cat could vanish into thin air because, like he said, he's been going to the other world for a while, and the Beldam tries and fails to keep him out. He's a cat so he has superior senses, and knows where all the secret nooks and entrances between worlds are.

[@rumeemeka-okafor3746]

“Bedlam” which is what they refer the other mother to means Evil witch in mythology

[@TheElementalPerson]

This movie is great! I heard that the book that the movie is based on is actually way scarier. It was marketed to kids because the daughter of either the author or publisher wanted to hear the whole story and lied to her parents about it being scary. Lol

[@jasonvoorhees5180]

I remember my dad took me to the theater to see this when I was a kid. I had nightmares for months and months. But now that I’m older I can stop being traumatized and appreciate this film for the spectacular masterpiece that it is.

[@agus-yg3sq]

09:47 "Oh hell no!" Lol

[@AM30659]

36:45 should’ve been another “oh hell no” scene

[@KindredKeepsake]

Coraline's situation becomes even sadder when you consider that the family's financial troubles were made worse by *the accident.* Coraline's mother curiously sports a neck brace, which is an indication that she is recovering from something--likely, an expensive car accident on shoddy insurance. The accident itself, getting a replacement car (or fixing the old one), and the cash needed for a lengthy recovery process (medication, physical therapy, more) probably indebted them, which is why they were so strapped for cash throughout the film. It's also more than enough reason for having such a foul mood. She's probably in pain, but does not have the luxury to relax and heal. Completing their book was literally a matter of life and death for them, if they wanted to get out of debt and survive. But one may ask, "why did they choose to move, when they are on such a budget?" I think that was a last resort. I mean, look at the miserable, filthy, and broken state of the place at the start of things... They likely sold their old house, including most of the things in it, for a cheaper empty shell of a once fabulous mansion-turned-apartment-complex. It's big, but is as much of a fixer-upper as can be. It's a miracle that things turned out well for them by the end, because I don't know how long they could've lasted there.

[@tshireletsosegaiso3701]

This movie traumatized me as a kid and now I enjoy making people watch it and see them get terrified too

[@Shadowy-ww7mb]

One of the things I love most about this movie is that the other mother is suppose to represent a predator she spends all this time creating all this good will with the children she has brought into the other world and when she sees the moment is right she ask them to do something that they would have immediately said no to at the beginning and in this case she ask the children to let her sow buttons into their eyes

[@samanthaledezma5324]

This is one of my favorite movies I'm so happy you guys reacted to it! When I saw the upload I immediately put off studying to watch it and your reactions didn't disappoint 😂 My mom finds this movie really creepy too but for me, it's not spooky season until I watch Coraline loll

[@rumeemeka-okafor3746]

Defo a Halloween movie! The best! 🎃

[@AkinReacts]

Please study 🤣🤣 the video will be waiting for you once you’re done 😭

[@lost_in_w0nderland]

I remember watching this as a kid for the first time and loving it! I was around 5-7, I use to live in this big Victorian mansion in a town and I remember relating to coraline's "There's nothing to do" attitude and there were these random windy staircases in the garage and we didn't know where they went since they had no lights in them and I thought it was a portal to another world so id never go in there and id just stare at it

[@SecretStarr101Reacts]

You guys should definately react to 'Kubo and the Two Strings.' Its by the same company that made Coraline. I feel like you guys would really enjoy it!

[@Joan-jq5ho]

Yeah, the film ends on a Grim note, because the well is connected to the other world, so the Other Mother has the key now

[@nyaaaa]

To me I never realized people were even scared of this when this comforted me so much😭😭 I still love it and even own a coraline doll! Literally my favorite animation!

[@tabbyyawns1648]

i do love how this movie is unsettling, and your reaction to it. If i were to recommend another stop motion movie, Fantastic Mr Fox is another great one. Keep doing what your doing ^^

[@DemonBunnyQueen]

I watched this movie in the 7th grade in theatres for the first time and didn’t really appreciate enough. But rewatching it now, understand it a lot more and can’t get enough. I’ve been falling down a Coraline theory wormhole recently lol great reaction, I’m glad Michael really liked it! 😊

[@snbifb8293]

I got so happy when I saw this pop up in the feed, y'all don't even know 🤩

[@lisa.222]

This was my favorite childhood movie. It was so diffrent. The stop animations is such hard work and the story really gave.

[@rumeemeka-okafor3746]

My bobinsky used to be in the circus and trained animals 👍👍

[@ShionAkasuki]

The part that terrified me when I was a kid was the two woman inside the candy wrap holding hands.

[@a.g.demada5263]

Technically, the story is a black tale. I read the book when I was 13 and the movie came out when I was 16. A cat bringing us dead things is kind of a present he give us. My cat always did it when we lived in the countryside.

[@Santoshi1071]

One of my favorite movies growing up! My parents hated watching it with me they said the same thing about its not a kids movie 😂

[@graeaeae7053]

This movie scared the hell outta me as a kid when I first watched it when it released. There's another movie that scarred my innocent smooth brain back then and I think it was called 9. It was like a terrryfing movie and it was I think rated G so I could watch it, I highly recommend watching 9 as an adult though

[@prettything6802]

I loved and hated this movie as a child the whole wonder and magical aspect of it made me watch it 200 times as a little girl but I always skipped the part of where the other mother turns into a spider because it terrified me😅😅

[@VeniVidiVici..]

Exactly she should’ve broken the key or at least messed it up so that the small door couldn’t be opened

[@newworldastrology1102]

I’m sure it’s been mentioned in other comments but the garden looked like the Beldam at the end. Theories abound that Coraline never left, due to the cat disappearing again at the end - and that she never went home but slept there.

[@MeuDocePiano]

Ela foi embora, o gato pode desaparecer em ambos, qual o sentido dele só conseguir entrar, e não conseguir sair?

The garden in the real world is the other mother and in the dream world its coraline also the other fathers song was a warning for her but she didnt understand it The song said Shes a peach shes a doll shes a pal of mine (the other father is on her side) Shes cute as a button in the eyes of everyone who laid their eye on her (always being watched) Also there is a theory wybie was sent to coraline by his grandmother in order to save him from the other mother 😅

I remember watching this when I was 16 and thinking it was so cool. Then I watched it when I was 20 and was like "Wait........this is a kids movie?! This is creepy and scary as frick!" Also it was filmed with stop motion on clay figurines, also known as Claymation.

[@zinclaire369]

i watched this in my 20s for the first time and was really creeped out by it, BUT i have watched it about fifty times after now 😂. Its become sort of a comfort movie for me. I think you guys should watch Stranger Things!!! I feel like your reactions to the episodes would be pretty popular!

Oh buddies…Welcome to CORALINE! love how the guy on the left trying to be tough through all the voodoo. 😂

[@Chinchinnnnn]

I was around 7 or 8 when I first watched Coraline but I wasn't really spooked by it since I watched Tim Burton's Corpse Bride (2005), Frankenweenie (2012), ParaNorman (2012), The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993); so I was used to Tim Burton's style of movies. Tim Burton films are still my faves 🖤

[@Rosebuglife0930]

Coraline is not a Tim Burton movie. It has the feel of one but it's actually a Laika (I might have spelled that wrong) movie

Cool, this is a good movie.

[@EncyclopediaBrittanica]

There are theories that the well is a secondary portal. Since it's said to be so deep that if you look into it, you'll see the nights sky. And in the other world it's only painted as night time. And the cat phasing to the other world is saying that there is still a place to go to.

I know what I'm doing with my only mother, my biological mother. I know exactly what we're going to do together next mother's Day. She filled the void with dogs, she has 9 pitbulls. She started with 12 when we were reunited 2 years ago Last time I was able to talk to her, she just adopted a retired breeder from a kill shelter.

Specially the button eyed dolls which should've been a hint of my Lalaloopsy dolls obsession as a preteen. Grew over it, but I still find button eyes to be adorable. I think I was also super distracted by the unique animation to be too scared which is an early hint of my future love for all things animated. Though this one was a very cleverly done stop-motion!
