When Neil Gaiman wrote Coraline, his publisher stated that it was too scary for children, he made a deal, let her child read the book and if she liked it to publish it. She was actually terrified but wanted to know what happened next so bc of her we have the book and movie!
Yeah apparently the book is much scarier. Other Father was not helpful, and his "pumpkin" form was described as more rotted and melting into a ball of flesh. Wybie didn't exist, and was only added so Coraline would have someone to talk to. Finally, there was Something Else in the tunnel between worlds. Something older and far scarier than Other Mother, that knew about Coraline and could have caught her at any moment if she lingered too long. So yeah. Thank u Gaiman sir.
Hey Danny, fun fact. The sowing kit the other mother is using in this scene isn’t even a sowing kit. It’s a kit used to fix corpses before their funeral. That’s why there’s a hammer and bone saw in the mix. 1:33
And that's why I want to be Cremated when I die! Autopsy if I die from Bizarre circumstances but then I must be Cremated immediately after, I want a Viking/Jedi/Hunter/ Time Lord Funeral!
Fun fact: Pumpkin dad was the less horrifying version of who the dad actually was. In the book, she eventually found his decomposing body in the basement. He looked like a melting magot, his arms and legs twigs and his button eyes falling off, yet somehow he was still alive and calling out for her. There was nothing she could do for him You're welcome for this horrifying tidbit
Danny constantly being like "damn Other Mother, slow down and let her enjoy it!" Like yes, that's the point! She's love-bombing Coraline. She's drowning her in affection and gifts so this neglected 12 year old won't notice all the other horrifying shit going on!
If I had a button for every time Kieth David voiced a magic black cat with a mysterious past in an animation that kids shouldn't watch, I'd have two. Not a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
Hazbin hotel fan I see 😂 If you worded it “magic black character” you would have 3 because he voiced the shadow man in princess in the frog as well 😂 That’s why I like that Husker combines his 2 past characters in a way. The cards, dealing with souls, and friends on the other side (Alastor) from the shadow man. And being a cat and helping out others by talking to them from coraline. 😅
If you've seen Danny's and Matthew McKenna's Hazbin Hotel episode 2 review , you'll remember that they both made a comment about how Alastor's full demon form looks like the Other Mother from Coraline. And with Keith David being the VA for Husk , I'm surprised that nobody's written a crossover fanfic of Coraline and Hazbin Hotel, or one about Alastor secretly being the offspring of the Other Mother.
This movie is ripe for an analysis as an allegory not just for the risk of predators around children, but also the harm of parents falling into the trap of ignoring their children and brushing them off.
I've noticed that a lot of people have started to understand why her parents act the way they do now that they're revisiting this movie as an adult/parent. Especially once you realize that Coraline's mom is wearing a neck brace, not a turtleneck. She's healing from an accident, they just moved, and the parents have a deadline to meet. I'm sorry Coraline, but they have more important things to worry about than keeping you entertained all the time.
As an adult, seeing the movie again actually solidified a lot of my opinions of Coraline's parents from when I was younger. Of course they can't 24/7 keep her entertained, especially with said deadline and the mother recovering from an injury. However, Coraline is 11 years old, so having those things actually *told* to her might've lessened her frustration with her parents. They also evidently don't seem to listen to her, seen when Coraline says she almost fell down a well and her mother doesn't seem to have any reaction. In parenting, communication is important, and they seem to lack it. Additionally, something I only thought of as an adult, they moved into an apartment building where multiple children had gone missing. When you have a kid, researching those things is important for your child's safety. Even if they *did* research, they pretty clearly didn't tell Coraline to be careful. She wandered outside, alone and unsupervised, MULTIPLE TIMES. That's just irresponsible parenting, in my opinion.
That is true. I can understand that the parents have a lot on their plates and don't have a lot of time to keep Coraline. I can also understand that Coraline is both bored and upset about being in a new place. I do get her not wanting to eat the food her dad made. I think the parents could've switched who cooks and who cleans at the very least as long as cooking is not too bad on the mom's neck. I would think it would be fine if she is able to clean work on a computer that could possibly hurt her neck as well but that is something we will never know for certain
Yes! And a lot of what children say is exaggerated so when Coraline is like "I almost fell down a well today, mom" - It totally makes sense for a busy working parent to be like "uhhuh" cause it was absolutely an exaggeration and the mom was stressed and busy atm. Like Coraline DIDN'T almost fall down a well.
But they don’t even try to listen or communicate with her. They don’t explain any of this: why they’re stressed, the importance of what they have to do, that they don’t have as much time for her, etc etc. They barely seem to know her at all, her interests or likes and dislikes. Her dad tells her to go count the windows and doors, for example. One of the reasons she’s lured in by the Other Mother is because she actually feels like she’s being given attention. She’s moved away from all her friends, to a boring and desolate house with strange neighbors, and her parents don’t give her any attention. It’s fine to be busy, it’s not fine to not treat your child as not worthy of communication. Their whole attitude towards her, even if they have reasons for it, is a repeated sense of “you’re a nuisance, go away, I don’t have time for you.” Every parent has struggles they’re going through, but as parents with a child they have a responsibility to emotionally nurture their children and EXPLAIN what is going on. They do not do that. If Coraline felt supported by her parents, she wouldn’t have been drawn in by the Other Mother.
YOu wanna know something _really_ terrifying? The Other Mother (or Beldame) isn't the only creature in the original book. The _Tunnel_ is something too. it isn't the colorful array you see here, it is dark and it feels... alive. When Coraline flees through it at the end the book reads: "It was colder in the corridor, like stepping down into a cellar on a warm day. The cat hesitated for a moment, then [...] The wall she was touching seemed warm and yielding now, and, she realised, it felt as if it was covered in a fine downy fur. It moved, as if it were taking a breath. She snatched her hand away from it. Winds howled in the dark. She was scared she would bump into something, and she put out her hand for the wall once more. This time what she touched felt hot and wet, as if she had put her hand in somebody's mouth, and she pulled it back with a small wail.[...] Whatever that corridor was was older by far than the other mother. It was deep, and slow, and it knew that she was there…"
@@Meamery In the original? Nothing to do with the Tunnel if that is what you aks, that never attacks her, it's just.... there. But in the book, Corline defeats the Beldame by a clever ruse, since there is... (drumroll please) no Wibey!!! He is an entirely made up for the movie Character. In the book, Coraline notices the hand following her around (also fun fact: In the book, there is never _ever_ a mention that it is a mechanical hand. So she pretty much hat "Thing" from the Addams Family on her tail) and she sets a trap for it to lure it into the well.
There is a theory that the tunnel is actually the throat of a bigger creature and the other mother lives in its stomach. Theres also something interesting going on with the fog. the channel abitfrank does a few videos about it if anyone wants to check it out.
The scene that is legit terrifying to me in this movie (I looooove spooky things, but I'm unable to watch actual rated R horror) is when Coraline speaks with the ghost children and you can see the deep indents in the bed where the ghost children's bodies must've been.
The bodies weren’t just there, they decomposed there. She ate their souls but not the body. The puddles are from the body decomposing. There is another puddle on the ground too.
I was and still am a big fan of stop motion animation even as an adult. I really enjoyed this movie regardless of how spooky it was, but the one scene with the two actresses talking about stuffing all their dead dogs definitely traumatized me for the rest of my life. Especially as an unsuspecting child watching this movie for the first time 😂😂
It was also made by Laika productions! Everything by them is great!!! Kubo has the world's buggest stop motion puppet btw, go look it up + comparison with the artists
In the beginning scene of the movie the sand being poured out of the doll isn't actually sand. It's sawdust which is often used for taxidermy. Not just that but the sewing tools, aren't sewing tools but tools that are also meant for taxidermy. Pretty dark, wouldn't you say?
I remember a lot of people saying Coraline traumatized them as a kid, but for me it was 9. Idk if people know what that movie is, but the scenes of the doll’s soul being ripped out of them by that monster will forever be burned into my brain. Hell, I remember crying at some of the scenes, which is why when I watched Coraline, I wasn’t as scared.
I remember watching that movie when I was around 12 to 13 years old and then I watched it a second time recently (I'm 17 now) it took me so long just to rewatch it because it freaked me out. When I watched it the second time it wasn't as disturbing as I remember. In fact, for some reason I thought the doctor(?) guy, the one that made the dolls did weird disturbing experiments on the dolls but it turns out that I was just remembering the scene where he made them. I guess it was more creepy as a younger kid. The souls thing never creeped me out but it sure wasn't chill about any of it. Also I am glad I found someone who knows that movie, I've never seen anyone talk about it. I also wondered about the lore of that movie cause if I remember right it doesn't give you much information about the world, and now I want a second movie.
@@hunterhello5210 it's called 9, the cover of the movie should be the number 9 glowing green, I believe. You can look it up by typing in Number 9 movie on Google.
Oh jeez, yeah 9 is actually fucking scary ...Coraline is creepy ...9 is also kinda sad and the apocalyptic environment made it worse, so I get u, great movie...but too scary for children...not so much for adults tho 🤔👌🏻
Same, once was enough. This thing plagued my nightmares for so long snd now, even as an adult, friends or colleagues will bring it up like "Remember that terrifying movie Coraline? Wanna rewatch it with me?" I just immediately leave. I am a chicken and I have accepted this, I am a chicken who shall survive.
Coraline... Nightmares for 5 months. When I was little I thought the first half meant it was a happy movie, cause I had dreams like this...but then the next end half of the movie just wreaked me.
You think five months is bad? Because of that button-eyed b1&$@, I slept facing the wall for 3-4 years! AND I WAS 10 WHEN I WATCHED IT! But maybe I’m just a pussy, who knows
I watched Coraline and E.T a lot as a little child, then one day I decided “nope, I hate this now” for no particular reason. I gaslit myself into actually hating them, and refused to watch them for years. More recently, I rewatched them and I actually love them. I have no idea what little me was thinking.
I remember my dad taking me to watch this at the cinema when I was like 6, traumatised me that bad I started disassociating and drawing dolls with button eyes in the corner of books for months till my dad got pissed and told my mam. She helped me deal with it while my dad was being an insensitive prick.
I remember watching this at my neighbors house and I was like 6 or 7 I don't know and it was half of the movie and I was like she gonna be stuck in there is she and then I brought it on dvd my niece and I watch it at least a few times
There's actually a theory that the sewing kit that she unfolded is actually all mortuary equipment. So that means she was actively preparing for coraline's dead body when she made the doll. Like dead people's mouth is filled with cotton or sawdust? She takes cotton out and puts in sawdust. If you look closely the other mother even has an old bone saw. It's REALLY creepy.
I did a study a while ago for a class and noticed that the gayer a person is the more they love/watched Coraline. Not surprisingly it is my favorite movie, so take that as you will. Edit: For legal reasons this is a joke. I am well aware a movie doesn’t determine sexuality you don’t need to keep telling me.
Weirdly enough, I wasn't traumatized by this movie as kid. I watched it, was a bit creep out, and I think I watched 2 more times or something? Compared to the other horror movies I was forced to watch as a kid, Coraline WAS a kids movie to me.
I watched Gremlins when I was 3 bc ma thought it was "cute". It definitely was if you weren't 3 and didn't live in the woods with a bad gremlin reaching for gizmo mobile hanging in your room. Loved horror ever since.
I always wanted to see a backstory on the sisters in the movie. of their relationship, and her choice to join the other mother. I wish we saw the grandmother sooner to give coraline a story about her sister would tell stories about another world behind the door with other parents and having a other sister the more she didn't believe her the more they fought and argued eventually her sister chose to join the other mother. Also a sequel to this movie would be amazing where we have a older coraline still living in her home protecting the house, and making sure nobody ever finds the door and goes through to the other world.
@@animeprofessor2658 well I feel you could do it in parts the movie starts out with the sisters playing together, then sadly showing one sister all alone. Coraline goes looking for wyborn at his home, but only meets the grandmother seeing her the grandmother already knows she met the other mother and begins to tell the story when she was little. When her sister and her were younger they were the best of friends but later she started talking about little doors and another mother. She teller coraline I didn’t believe her, which started us arguing and fighting. The more they fought the less time I would see her she would be gone for hours but would always come home the next morning. She wanted to see the world too but was told this world was just for her and the other mother, she even tells me there was another sister, we argued more and I someone times would not talk to her. She finishes by saying one day she didn’t come back that one day turned into a month, then a year, then never again. She warns her about the door and the other mother, that I don’t want to see you disappear like my sister.
I adored stop motion stuff when I was younger and still do now when I first watched this movie it terrified living hell out of me but something in my brain was like "okay but, what if we watch it again?" For some reason it just felt like it was luring me back. And now I'm hooked! I've seen this movie like three times and it is very much my favorite it's just such a great movie, to me All the laika studios movies are
14:56 you think that's bad? The same studios that made this made a movie called The missing Link and one of the characters has individual hair pieces made out of clay I think and they had to pose each and every one of those pieces separately
3:17 when I was a kid I found a stick that looked like Jack Frosts cane in Rise of the Guardians and I'd go outside and pretend to be Jack Frost. Until my brother intentionally broke the stick because I like playing with it.
This movie scarred me so much, that I hate being in the same vicinity as a Lalaloopsy doll, because I think it’ll come to life and shank me, but I do still love it and it became an instant classic for me.
As a child, the first 15 minutes of this movie had already scared me off, but when I rewatched it a few years later- I LOVED IT. The uniqe hand crafted stop motion, THE DETAILS?? as someone who HATES horror this is the only horror movie I could ever rewatch, It has a cult following and I understand why ❤
I remember watching this movie at 3 years old with my cousin all the time, and every single time I was TERRIFIED. I have this core memory of being crouched behind my cousins chair while she was asleep, blanket over my head and cowering in fear as the Other Mother chased Coraline. My mother came up behind me and touched my shoulder and it scared me so bad that I jumped like 3 feet in the air and then cried. I wasn’t allowed to watch the movie for ages, and I finally rewatched it for the first time in over ten years a couple weeks ago. I think watching this movie at such a young age is the reason why I don’t find any horror movies scary nowadays.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS REACTION, YOU NEVER DISAPPOINT DANNY. I was so excited during this whole video to see what you will say about this masterpiece that is Coraline. The scene that traumatize me as a kid was DEFINITELY the one when the house turned into the spiderweb and the other mother just jumped to coraline while screaming 💀, I loved to see your reaction to that scene too 🫶🏻
The book is even scarier than the film version. Then again, that’s generally the case. I absolutely loved this film as a kid, it never even scared me. I was too fond of it.
One thing that struck me in all versions of the story is how most people in the Real World call her Caroline, not Coraline. It really shows how little most people notice her.
This movie is a double banger at least 1) great introduction for kids to the genres of horror. It's psychological, it's dramatic, there's body horror, there's supernatural horror, it's just so much horror 2) it makes them want to read the book Just excellent. We need more from these guys. They make masterpieces
Fun fact its theorised in the clothes shopping scene you can see the other mother “hunting” her prey. Supposedly the ginger lady in the window. Even seems to react slightly when Coraline says “my other mother would buy them for me” and when she was left her dinner and outfit on the table for coraline one can only guess who else could possibly be so important to occupy other mother’s time (parents, real mom’s key was still in ignition and phone on passenger seat, she didn’t even make it out of her car)
Your reaction to Coraline absolutely lived up to the hype we all had for you to do it!! Not sure if you've seen it or not, but I'd love to see you react to Kubo and the Two Strings (another Laika film) at some point! I feel like it kind of fits thematically with your anime focused channel since there's a lot of Japanese cultural elements in it. Along with Coraline, Kubo is my favorite Laika Studios film.
I remember my mom bought this movie for me when I was like 5 years old and it scared me so bad I legit didn't even look at the disc case again until I was 10! And it's still creepy af now! But it is a masterpiece from an artistic perspective tho! Also the part that creeped me out the most was probably when the Other Mother turned into a giant needle spider women. The jump scare when demon Spink and Forcible pop out of the candy womb. Aaand all the creepy doll parts. And to this day I have MASSIVE arachnophobia and HATE creepy doll movies of any kind! XD
I think this movie wasn’t really meant to be a “kids movie”. It was just supposed to be a psychological horror but it got marketed as a kids film……. Edit: The song the other dad sung to Coraline was DIRECT foreshadowing for what him and other Mother was trying to accomplish I can’t remember all of it but I remember “she’s a peach she’s a DOLL”
I wish you would've made a reaction to the Other Dad talking to Coraline during the garden chase, about him saying "Mothers making me, I don't wanna hurt you" cuz with Other Wybe and now Other Father, it implies that she doesn't actually have total control of the world she's created
I remember watching this movie for the first time and I literally couldn't finish the movie but when I got older, my nightmares got me curious about the ending and so I did- and while it's still terrifying, I love it so much
Did you know that the song 'Makin a song about Coraline' Was supposed to be a warning to her(got this from reddit Making up a song about Coraline She's a peach (she is food for the Beldam to eat) She's a doll (referencing the doll of Coraline used to spy on her) She's a pal of mine (the Other Father is shown throughout the movie trying to protect her from the Beldam) She's as cute as a "button in the eyes of everyone" whoever laid their eyes on Coraline (everyone has button eyes in the other world) When she comes around exploring mom and I will never ever make it boring Our eyes will be on Coraline (both a reference to her being watched and their button eyes being sewn onto her) Other double meanings: The Other Father tells Coraline he doesn't need to play piano, the piano plays him. (The Beldam is puppeting him) The Other Father asks "Who's starving, raise your hand" and the piano raises it's hands (the Beldam is controlling the piano, and is hungry for Coraline)
Since you asked, one movie I'd like to see you react to one day, is "The Last Unicorn"! It has beautyfull watercolor aesthetics, and is just in general a movie I have verry fond memmorys of!

it's so amazing [my favorite movie ever] i love everything about it from the animation to the music to the creepiness. fun fact i actually made a coraline doll that looks like me and my siblings are convinced that it's possesed
Fun fact: Laika is a subsidiary of Nike. The son of Nike's CEO is the head of Laika or something like that, which is partly how this studio stays afloat. Its also the reason that there always seems to be a promotional laika movie themed shoe that comes out with each film
I was six when I watched Coraline first. I was so terrified that I couldn't watch it until I was twelve and finally brave enough to relive that nightmare. It's not as horrifying as I remember it, but I'm pretty sure the other mother is the stem of my arachnophobia and this movie most definitely made me fear dolls.
14:44 It’s also deathly fear of bumping the camera and having to reshoot the scene. And the more fun stuff like having to use popped popcorn for the cherry blossoms (yes that did happen for this movie)

Danny simpin OM in the "red room of pain" is life, the horns are hot. Also: "Ghost of a drowned turnip" "Is this the female gaze?" "Smother mother" "Dear Neptune..." Also also, Danny's hair looks pretty great
Honestly I think it's way scarier now than it was back when I first watched it. The other mother elongating and turning into a spider DID literally haunt my dreams as a kid, fuck that.
If I remember correctly, the tunnel she crawls through is alive or something and sorta like a primordial being far stronger and scarier than other mother
i have a lifelong fear of the woods, fog, and small doors after watching coraline when i was like 7 or 8..........my grandparents house had a tiny door in the guest bedroom when they lived in tacoma when i was like 16-17 and i swear to GOD i watched that padlocked door OPEN in the middle of the night! i could not sleep thereafter and instead slept on the couch downstairs in the livingroom
Holy Shit!!! 😱😱😱 A Real life Coraline Door?! And your grandparents house is in Washington state, the Pacific Northwest, an especially creepy coincidence considering the movie was set in Oregon! The state right under Washington!
I loved this movie growing up lol it’s one of the reasons I started sewing 😂 I honestly never knew it people had such a big reaction to it, I thought it was cool and fun to watch
Coraline reminds me of when parents would rent any animated movie to plunk their kid in front of the TV for two hours, because it's animated, "this will shut them up for 2 hours". Yeah, thanks for Watership Down and Return to Oz ma! Therapy is on you!

Me and my sister love Coraline whenever we see it, we watch it, it's so fun, the plot is interesting the characters are funny! Edit: oddly enough neither of us found it scary or creepy when we first watched it even as kids, I see where the creepy aspects are coming from now I'm a bit older
2:00 hey, its only terrifying and utterly traumatizing if you.......watch it. yeah i think the children scene was the most horrifying for me. That and the Other Mother transforming. Aaaaand the hand detaching.... C-Can I just say the whole movie?
The makeshift intro song for Coraline became more like a frigging Drug dealing scene where you hide the drugs in dolls to smuggle it pass the boarder💀💀
0:22 I was literally shaking during this film. I couldn't even finish it. To this day, I have never gone back to this movie. I 100% sympathize with you for the fear directed toward this movie. Edit: I just came back to this movie after watching this video, and I don't know why I was scared to rewatch it. Truly, a masterpiece.
I remember being in love with this movie when I first watched it as a 7 year old. I was never really scared of it, I just liked it a lot. Also my innocent ahh self wasn't able to understand the "theatre" scene.
"You just pick up a rock, and then you're transported to rock world!" Yes that is exactly what happened 🤣🤣 my siblings and i would spend hours outside playing with sticks
Have you read the book? The Worst Part for me was probably the chase and the Hand still existing in the normal world. Because even if it's trapped at the bottom of the well, it *will* one day escape, I just know itttt. Also! Check out Kubo and the Two Strings! By the same studio, and there's a character who embodies that 'have you considered the hair could just. Not move? This scene? Please???' way more than Coraline does.
I’m fine with unsettling. I’m so fine with unsettling that as long as there’s no jumpscares, movies like this could go right through me. Funny thing, once I was asked about what I feared for a school project, I brought up jumpscares, the teacher did not know what that was, so she assumed I was afraid of jumps in general, and I never had the will to correct her. The main thing I love about coralline, is the duality they use with colour and vibrance, you get used to how shit the real world is and how ideal the other world is, making coralline fit better in the other world is genius, and they really get you in coralline’s headspace, making you feel the same emotions as coralline, and making you experience what she is experiencing is amazing. Honestly yeah I adore this movie, it is amazing in every way. The fact that most stop motion’s I’ve seen are better than some 3d animations I’ve seen, is really a testament to how strong that art form is.
I love this movie, and this react was plenty amusing definitely one I'm gonna rewatch many times. Awesome work. Oh and fun fact the Medal Bobinski is wearing was awarded to Liquidators of the Chernobyl Disaster- do with that what you will. -Day XX of suggesting to check out Iruma-kun (in the new year) ^.^
Coraline is actually my comfort movie. Not even a joke, I feel calm watching this. It’s probably because when I first saw it I was old enough to not be scared, I had already read the book and once I watched it when I had an unpleasant period and it helped me through it, so it is just kinda stuck in my mind as a movie I can watch when I’m not feeling good
Merry Christmas Danny and everyone who finds this comment!! Hopefully you’re having a great day and you end this year on a high note 🎄 Also yes can we please appreciate these beautiful movies? Stop motion is one of the most amazing ways of animation ever created and the masterpieces made with it just keep it on that pedestal
I write books which I hope to make into animated movies some day, some of them will definitely be in creepy stop motion But I'm head cannon-ing that most of them will be I ghibli style
When Neil Gaiman wrote Coraline, his publisher stated that it was too scary for children, he made a deal, let her child read the book and if she liked it to publish it. She was actually terrified but wanted to know what happened next so bc of her we have the book and movie!
Yeah apparently the book is much scarier. Other Father was not helpful, and his "pumpkin" form was described as more rotted and melting into a ball of flesh. Wybie didn't exist, and was only added so Coraline would have someone to talk to. Finally, there was Something Else in the tunnel between worlds. Something older and far scarier than Other Mother, that knew about Coraline and could have caught her at any moment if she lingered too long.
So yeah. Thank u Gaiman sir.
Thank god for her
Damn, I guess I assumed it was Tim Burton's work, but other than the visual style, it didn't really seem to suit him. Cool!
@@justanawkwardnerd Also, Tim Burton didn't direct Coraline, Henry Selick did! Which surprised me, but I saw Gaiman talk about it on his Tumblr
@@moonbeam._.darling Damn, thank you! Neil Gaiman is such an interesting guy. I keep forgetting his Tumblr is real.
Hey Danny, fun fact. The sowing kit the other mother is using in this scene isn’t even a sowing kit. It’s a kit used to fix corpses before their funeral. That’s why there’s a hammer and bone saw in the mix. 1:33
He called it an embalming kit, he knows what it is lol
And that's why I want to be Cremated when I die! Autopsy if I die from Bizarre circumstances but then I must be Cremated immediately after, I want a Viking/Jedi/Hunter/ Time Lord Funeral!
@@user-kg3xs1bu6x I'm training to be a mortician hmu when you die
Thanks, I´ve got goosebumps now 😖
Fun fact: Pumpkin dad was the less horrifying version of who the dad actually was. In the book, she eventually found his decomposing body in the basement. He looked like a melting magot, his arms and legs twigs and his button eyes falling off, yet somehow he was still alive and calling out for her. There was nothing she could do for him
You're welcome for this horrifying tidbit
You know the reason why they didn't add that in the movie it's that they remembered they a
are a Kids movie
Thank you, that’s terrifying 😅😅😅😅😅😅
I both thank you for that but also how dare you lol
Don’t forget, he’s calling out to her as his free will is stripped away from him and he’s forced to attack her
That's scary
Danny constantly being like "damn Other Mother, slow down and let her enjoy it!" Like yes, that's the point! She's love-bombing Coraline. She's drowning her in affection and gifts so this neglected 12 year old won't notice all the other horrifying shit going on!
And slowly adds new things for her to do to keep pushing limits on what Coraline finds acceptable
Like yeah it's something I've noticed as an adult but it's so good
If I had a button for every time Kieth David voiced a magic black cat with a mysterious past in an animation that kids shouldn't watch, I'd have two.
Not a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
Hazbin hotel fan I see 😂
If you worded it “magic black character” you would have 3 because he voiced the shadow man in princess in the frog as well 😂
That’s why I like that Husker combines his 2 past characters in a way. The cards, dealing with souls, and friends on the other side (Alastor) from the shadow man. And being a cat and helping out others by talking to them from coraline. 😅
If you've seen Danny's and Matthew McKenna's Hazbin Hotel episode 2 review , you'll remember that they both made a comment about how Alastor's full demon form looks like the Other Mother from Coraline. And with Keith David being the VA for Husk , I'm surprised that nobody's written a crossover fanfic of Coraline and Hazbin Hotel, or one about Alastor secretly being the offspring of the Other Mother.
You called?
This movie is ripe for an analysis as an allegory not just for the risk of predators around children, but also the harm of parents falling into the trap of ignoring their children and brushing them off.
CJ the X actually did an analysis like this on the movie and also kinda the book.
A therapist also said it was a metaphor for escapism and how it was a warning not to do it so much
I've noticed that a lot of people have started to understand why her parents act the way they do now that they're revisiting this movie as an adult/parent. Especially once you realize that Coraline's mom is wearing a neck brace, not a turtleneck. She's healing from an accident, they just moved, and the parents have a deadline to meet. I'm sorry Coraline, but they have more important things to worry about than keeping you entertained all the time.
Yeah but then again, like the kids watching it, Coraline doesn’t really notice it until later on
As an adult, seeing the movie again actually solidified a lot of my opinions of Coraline's parents from when I was younger. Of course they can't 24/7 keep her entertained, especially with said deadline and the mother recovering from an injury. However, Coraline is 11 years old, so having those things actually *told* to her might've lessened her frustration with her parents. They also evidently don't seem to listen to her, seen when Coraline says she almost fell down a well and her mother doesn't seem to have any reaction. In parenting, communication is important, and they seem to lack it.
Additionally, something I only thought of as an adult, they moved into an apartment building where multiple children had gone missing. When you have a kid, researching those things is important for your child's safety. Even if they *did* research, they pretty clearly didn't tell Coraline to be careful. She wandered outside, alone and unsupervised, MULTIPLE TIMES. That's just irresponsible parenting, in my opinion.
That is true. I can understand that the parents have a lot on their plates and don't have a lot of time to keep Coraline. I can also understand that Coraline is both bored and upset about being in a new place. I do get her not wanting to eat the food her dad made. I think the parents could've switched who cooks and who cleans at the very least as long as cooking is not too bad on the mom's neck. I would think it would be fine if she is able to clean work on a computer that could possibly hurt her neck as well but that is something we will never know for certain
Yes! And a lot of what children say is exaggerated so when Coraline is like "I almost fell down a well today, mom" - It totally makes sense for a busy working parent to be like "uhhuh" cause it was absolutely an exaggeration and the mom was stressed and busy atm. Like Coraline DIDN'T almost fall down a well.
But they don’t even try to listen or communicate with her. They don’t explain any of this: why they’re stressed, the importance of what they have to do, that they don’t have as much time for her, etc etc. They barely seem to know her at all, her interests or likes and dislikes. Her dad tells her to go count the windows and doors, for example. One of the reasons she’s lured in by the Other Mother is because she actually feels like she’s being given attention. She’s moved away from all her friends, to a boring and desolate house with strange neighbors, and her parents don’t give her any attention. It’s fine to be busy, it’s not fine to not treat your child as not worthy of communication. Their whole attitude towards her, even if they have reasons for it, is a repeated sense of “you’re a nuisance, go away, I don’t have time for you.” Every parent has struggles they’re going through, but as parents with a child they have a responsibility to emotionally nurture their children and EXPLAIN what is going on. They do not do that. If Coraline felt supported by her parents, she wouldn’t have been drawn in by the Other Mother.

YOu wanna know something _really_ terrifying? The Other Mother (or Beldame) isn't the only creature in the original book. The _Tunnel_ is something too. it isn't the colorful array you see here, it is dark and it feels... alive. When Coraline flees through it at the end the book reads:
"It was colder in the corridor, like stepping down into a cellar on a warm day. The cat hesitated for a moment, then [...] The wall she was touching seemed warm and yielding now, and, she realised, it felt as if it was covered in a fine downy fur. It moved, as if it were taking a breath. She snatched her hand away from it.
Winds howled in the dark.
She was scared she would bump into something, and she put out her hand for the wall once more. This time what she touched felt hot and wet, as if she had put her hand in somebody's mouth, and she pulled it back with a small wail.[...]
Whatever that corridor was was older by far than the other mother. It was deep, and slow, and it knew that she was there…"
What happened to her at the end of the book
@@Meamery In the original? Nothing to do with the Tunnel if that is what you aks, that never attacks her, it's just.... there.
But in the book, Corline defeats the Beldame by a clever ruse, since there is... (drumroll please) no Wibey!!!
He is an entirely made up for the movie Character. In the book, Coraline notices the hand following her around (also fun fact: In the book, there is never _ever_ a mention that it is a mechanical hand. So she pretty much hat "Thing" from the Addams Family on her tail) and she sets a trap for it to lure it into the well.
There is a theory that the tunnel is actually the throat of a bigger creature and the other mother lives in its stomach. Theres also something interesting going on with the fog. the channel abitfrank does a few videos about it if anyone wants to check it out.
Sometimes I forget Neil Gaiman wrote this
I heard all of that in Neil Gaiman's voice because I've listened to the audiobook so many times!!
You and your friends could have formed a band; you could've called yourselves NightCore-aline.
I'll see myself out.
Lmao
Or maybe, the NightCore Align?
I remember how terrifying this movie was as a kid and it still is VERY creepy but it is gorgeous
It gave me nightmares as a kid, but I absolutely LOVE IT now
The scene that is legit terrifying to me in this movie (I looooove spooky things, but I'm unable to watch actual rated R horror) is when Coraline speaks with the ghost children and you can see the deep indents in the bed where the ghost children's bodies must've been.
You mean that black puddle?
The bodies weren’t just there, they decomposed there. She ate their souls but not the body. The puddles are from the body decomposing. There is another puddle on the ground too.
I feel like I was the only person that WASN'T traumatized by this movie as a kid
Nah I'm here as well. But then I grew up on fanfiction websites and a fighting game for grown men so take that as you will.
You're not alone mate!
i wasnt but the dark crystal messed me up as a kid
I absolutely loved this movie as a kid
@@elizabethwill4267 Dark Crystal and "the nothing" from the neverending story... probably why I still constantly have an eternal existential crisis
I was and still am a big fan of stop motion animation even as an adult. I really enjoyed this movie regardless of how spooky it was, but the one scene with the two actresses talking about stuffing all their dead dogs definitely traumatized me for the rest of my life. Especially as an unsuspecting child watching this movie for the first time 😂😂
Also Kubo is another fantastic stop motion animation movie Danny didn’t mention but I feel like still deserves some credit.
It was also made by Laika productions! Everything by them is great!!!
Kubo has the world's buggest stop motion puppet btw, go look it up + comparison with the artists
1% of the video: actually reacting
99% of the video: Danny simping for Coraline's mom💀
In the beginning scene of the movie the sand being poured out of the doll isn't actually sand. It's sawdust which is often used for taxidermy. Not just that but the sewing tools, aren't sewing tools but tools that are also meant for taxidermy. Pretty dark, wouldn't you say?
I remember a lot of people saying Coraline traumatized them as a kid, but for me it was 9. Idk if people know what that movie is, but the scenes of the doll’s soul being ripped out of them by that monster will forever be burned into my brain. Hell, I remember crying at some of the scenes, which is why when I watched Coraline, I wasn’t as scared.
I remember watching that movie when I was around 12 to 13 years old and then I watched it a second time recently (I'm 17 now) it took me so long just to rewatch it because it freaked me out. When I watched it the second time it wasn't as disturbing as I remember. In fact, for some reason I thought the doctor(?) guy, the one that made the dolls did weird disturbing experiments on the dolls but it turns out that I was just remembering the scene where he made them. I guess it was more creepy as a younger kid. The souls thing never creeped me out but it sure wasn't chill about any of it. Also I am glad I found someone who knows that movie, I've never seen anyone talk about it. I also wondered about the lore of that movie cause if I remember right it doesn't give you much information about the world, and now I want a second movie.
@@arminarlert2525what's the name of the movie?
@@hunterhello5210 it's called 9, the cover of the movie should be the number 9 glowing green, I believe. You can look it up by typing in Number 9 movie on Google.
Thanks!
Oh jeez, yeah 9 is actually fucking scary ...Coraline is creepy ...9 is also kinda sad and the apocalyptic environment made it worse, so I get u, great movie...but too scary for children...not so much for adults tho 🤔👌🏻
I've litteraly only watched this movie once, as a kid, and yet so much of it is burned into my head from sheer terror.
I was six and couldn't stand to see the cover of the film .
Same, once was enough. This thing plagued my nightmares for so long snd now, even as an adult, friends or colleagues will bring it up like "Remember that terrifying movie Coraline? Wanna rewatch it with me?" I just immediately leave. I am a chicken and I have accepted this, I am a chicken who shall survive.
“Who is butt chin Mcfive head”
Why did I laugh so hard😂
Coraline...
Nightmares for 5 months.
When I was little I thought the first half meant it was a happy movie, cause I had dreams like this...but then the next end half of the movie just wreaked me.
You think five months is bad?
Because of that button-eyed b1&$@, I slept facing the wall for 3-4 years! AND I WAS 10 WHEN I WATCHED IT! But maybe I’m just a pussy, who knows
Between Mrs Jones and Nagisa's mom, I'm starting to think Danny has a thing for concerning mother characters 😭
....at least *_initially_*
Nah I just have a thing for absolute DIMES
@@DannyMottaDimes with dump-trucks
Coralie traumatized me for life honestly
same here dude
I watched Coraline and E.T a lot as a little child, then one day I decided “nope, I hate this now” for no particular reason. I gaslit myself into actually hating them, and refused to watch them for years. More recently, I rewatched them and I actually love them. I have no idea what little me was thinking.
I remember my dad taking me to watch this at the cinema when I was like 6, traumatised me that bad I started disassociating and drawing dolls with button eyes in the corner of books for months till my dad got pissed and told my mam. She helped me deal with it while my dad was being an insensitive prick.
Bro really traumatized you then dipped
I remember watching this at my neighbors house and I was like 6 or 7 I don't know and it was half of the movie and I was like she gonna be stuck in there is she and then I brought it on dvd my niece and I watch it at least a few times
There's actually a theory that the sewing kit that she unfolded is actually all mortuary equipment. So that means she was actively preparing for coraline's dead body when she made the doll. Like dead people's mouth is filled with cotton or sawdust? She takes cotton out and puts in sawdust. If you look closely the other mother even has an old bone saw. It's REALLY creepy.
I did a study a while ago for a class and noticed that the gayer a person is the more they love/watched Coraline. Not surprisingly it is my favorite movie, so take that as you will.
Edit: For legal reasons this is a joke. I am well aware a movie doesn’t determine sexuality you don’t need to keep telling me.
Well, damn. You’re right.
I love Coraline, but the trauma I got makes this movie too hard to watch
I’m gay and I have the same feelings
I concur.
-a queer who watches Coraline at least once a month.
It’s all coming together now… I absolutely loved it the first time I saw it
My aunt had a daughter and decided to name her Coraline after this movie and so every year we watch it on her birthday she's 4 so that's fun
Weirdly enough, I wasn't traumatized by this movie as kid. I watched it, was a bit creep out, and I think I watched 2 more times or something? Compared to the other horror movies I was forced to watch as a kid, Coraline WAS a kids movie to me.
I watched Gremlins when I was 3 bc ma thought it was "cute". It definitely was if you weren't 3 and didn't live in the woods with a bad gremlin reaching for gizmo mobile hanging in your room.
Loved horror ever since.
I always wanted to see a backstory on the sisters in the movie. of their relationship, and her choice to join the other mother. I wish we saw the grandmother sooner to give coraline a story about her sister would tell stories about another world behind the door with other parents and having a other sister the more she didn't believe her the more they fought and argued eventually her sister chose to join the other mother.
Also a sequel to this movie would be amazing where we have a older coraline still living in her home protecting the house, and making sure nobody ever finds the door and goes through to the other world.
Do you mind elaborating? I would love to read this story
@@animeprofessor2658 well I feel you could do it in parts the movie starts out with the sisters playing together, then sadly showing one sister all alone.
Coraline goes looking for wyborn at his home, but only meets the grandmother seeing her the grandmother already knows she met the other mother and begins to tell the story when she was little.
When her sister and her were younger they were the best of friends but later she started talking about little doors and another mother. She teller coraline I didn’t believe her, which started us arguing and fighting.
The more they fought the less time I would see her she would be gone for hours but would always come home the next morning.
She wanted to see the world too but was told this world was just for her and the other mother, she even tells me there was another sister, we argued more and I someone times would not talk to her.
She finishes by saying one day she didn’t come back that one day turned into a month, then a year, then never again.
She warns her about the door and the other mother, that I don’t want to see you disappear like my sister.
I adored stop motion stuff when I was younger and still do now when I first watched this movie it terrified living hell out of me but something in my brain was like "okay but, what if we watch it again?" For some reason it just felt like it was luring me back. And now I'm hooked! I've seen this movie like three times and it is very much my favorite it's just such a great movie, to me All the laika studios movies are
Not Danny simping HARD for Mal-
14:56 you think that's bad? The same studios that made this made a movie called The missing Link and one of the characters has individual hair pieces made out of clay I think and they had to pose each and every one of those pieces separately
3:17 when I was a kid I found a stick that looked like Jack Frosts cane in Rise of the Guardians and I'd go outside and pretend to be Jack Frost. Until my brother intentionally broke the stick because I like playing with it.
This movie scarred me so much, that I hate being in the same vicinity as a Lalaloopsy doll, because I think it’ll come to life and shank me, but I do still love it and it became an instant classic for me.
As a child, the first 15 minutes of this movie had already scared me off, but when I rewatched it a few years later- I LOVED IT. The uniqe hand crafted stop motion, THE DETAILS?? as someone who HATES horror this is the only horror movie I could ever rewatch, It has a cult following and I understand why ❤
I remember watching this movie at 3 years old with my cousin all the time, and every single time I was TERRIFIED. I have this core memory of being crouched behind my cousins chair while she was asleep, blanket over my head and cowering in fear as the Other Mother chased Coraline. My mother came up behind me and touched my shoulder and it scared me so bad that I jumped like 3 feet in the air and then cried. I wasn’t allowed to watch the movie for ages, and I finally rewatched it for the first time in over ten years a couple weeks ago. I think watching this movie at such a young age is the reason why I don’t find any horror movies scary nowadays.
I always feel bad when people say this movie scared/traumatized them cause child me was like “Oh boy!!! Stop motion”
I've been a stop motion nut since I was 11, and while this movie was creepy, it was mesmerizing!
It helps that I looove creepy media!
PTSD from a children's movie? My dear Danny, might I recommend the Brave Little Toaster?
The scene that still haunts me to this day is the other mothers disembodied hand coming after Coraline. Partially due to my arachnophobia
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS REACTION, YOU NEVER DISAPPOINT DANNY. I was so excited during this whole video to see what you will say about this masterpiece that is Coraline. The scene that traumatize me as a kid was DEFINITELY the one when the house turned into the spiderweb and the other mother just jumped to coraline while screaming 💀, I loved to see your reaction to that scene too 🫶🏻
The book is even scarier than the film version. Then again, that’s generally the case. I absolutely loved this film as a kid, it never even scared me. I was too fond of it.
One thing that struck me in all versions of the story is how most people in the Real World call her Caroline, not Coraline. It really shows how little most people notice her.
I know the music was changed for copyright but it still SLAPPED
Right??
As an early 2000s kid this was one of my favorite movies when I was younger. I watched it so much and I still love it
I love how you can clearly see him scream JESUS CHRIST even though you can’t hear it at 22:21 😂😂😂
20:11 I just noticed that Other Wybies mask is actually the chicken oven mitt from earlier, he just cut it open at the back and cut eyeholes in it.
This movie is a double banger at least
1) great introduction for kids to the genres of horror. It's psychological, it's dramatic, there's body horror, there's supernatural horror, it's just so much horror
2) it makes them want to read the book
Just excellent. We need more from these guys. They make masterpieces
Fun fact its theorised in the clothes shopping scene you can see the other mother “hunting” her prey. Supposedly the ginger lady in the window. Even seems to react slightly when Coraline says “my other mother would buy them for me” and when she was left her dinner and outfit on the table for coraline one can only guess who else could possibly be so important to occupy other mother’s time (parents, real mom’s key was still in ignition and phone on passenger seat, she didn’t even make it out of her car)
Your reaction to Coraline absolutely lived up to the hype we all had for you to do it!! Not sure if you've seen it or not, but I'd love to see you react to Kubo and the Two Strings (another Laika film) at some point! I feel like it kind of fits thematically with your anime focused channel since there's a lot of Japanese cultural elements in it. Along with Coraline, Kubo is my favorite Laika Studios film.
danny, u were right that image of the other mother pulling that stuff out of the doll, that image can go right back to Hell.
I read the book when I was 9 so when I watched the movie it wasn't really as disturbing as I imagined it in the books
“Why were you born?” JESUS CHRIST!! Rewatching this scene as an adult has me laughing, really dragged him right there.
12:20 Your job is not hard, you are.
LMAO- underrated comment
9:34 I'M FUCKING DYING I DO NOT REMEMBER THAT
I remember my mom bought this movie for me when I was like 5 years old and it scared me so bad I legit didn't even look at the disc case again until I was 10! And it's still creepy af now! But it is a masterpiece from an artistic perspective tho!
Also the part that creeped me out the most was probably when the Other Mother turned into a giant needle spider women. The jump scare when demon Spink and Forcible pop out of the candy womb. Aaand all the creepy doll parts. And to this day I have MASSIVE arachnophobia and HATE creepy doll movies of any kind! XD
I think this movie wasn’t really meant to be a “kids movie”. It was just supposed to be a psychological horror but it got marketed as a kids film…….
Edit: The song the other dad sung to Coraline was DIRECT foreshadowing for what him and other Mother was trying to accomplish
I can’t remember all of it but I remember “she’s a peach she’s a DOLL”
I wish you would've made a reaction to the Other Dad talking to Coraline during the garden chase, about him saying "Mothers making me, I don't wanna hurt you" cuz with Other Wybe and now Other Father, it implies that she doesn't actually have total control of the world she's created
Who the fuk is @danny_motta11 ??
the scene that traumatized me most was the one with the circus and the mice
I remember watching this movie for the first time and I literally couldn't finish the movie but when I got older, my nightmares got me curious about the ending and so I did- and while it's still terrifying, I love it so much
Did you know that the song 'Makin a song about Coraline' Was supposed to be a warning to her(got this from reddit Making up a song about Coraline
She's a peach (she is food for the Beldam to eat)
She's a doll (referencing the doll of Coraline used to spy on her)
She's a pal of mine (the Other Father is shown throughout the movie trying to protect her from the Beldam)
She's as cute as a "button in the eyes of everyone" whoever laid their eyes on Coraline (everyone has button eyes in the other world)
When she comes around exploring mom and I will never ever make it boring
Our eyes will be on Coraline (both a reference to her being watched and their button eyes being sewn onto her)
Other double meanings:
The Other Father tells Coraline he doesn't need to play piano, the piano plays him. (The Beldam is puppeting him)
The Other Father asks "Who's starving, raise your hand" and the piano raises it's hands (the Beldam is controlling the piano, and is hungry for Coraline)
Since you asked, one movie I'd like to see you react to one day, is "The Last Unicorn"!
It has beautyfull watercolor aesthetics, and is just in general a movie I have verry fond memmorys of!

Exactly
it's so amazing [my favorite movie ever] i love everything about it from the animation to the music to the creepiness. fun fact i actually made a coraline doll that looks like me and my siblings are convinced that it's possesed
Fun fact: Laika is a subsidiary of Nike. The son of Nike's CEO is the head of Laika or something like that, which is partly how this studio stays afloat. Its also the reason that there always seems to be a promotional laika movie themed shoe that comes out with each film
I was six when I watched Coraline first. I was so terrified that I couldn't watch it until I was twelve and finally brave enough to relive that nightmare. It's not as horrifying as I remember it, but I'm pretty sure the other mother is the stem of my arachnophobia and this movie most definitely made me fear dolls.
14:44
It’s also deathly fear of bumping the camera and having to reshoot the scene.
And the more fun stuff like having to use popped popcorn for the cherry blossoms (yes that did happen for this movie)

Also also, Danny's hair looks pretty great
a detailed that i loved is that OM says “I bet he is as hungry as a pumpkin!” AND THEN HE IS A PUMPKIN!!!
Honestly I think it's way scarier now than it was back when I first watched it. The other mother elongating and turning into a spider DID literally haunt my dreams as a kid, fuck that.
If I remember correctly, the tunnel she crawls through is alive or something and sorta like a primordial being far stronger and scarier than other mother
i have a lifelong fear of the woods, fog, and small doors after watching coraline when i was like 7 or 8..........my grandparents house had a tiny door in the guest bedroom when they lived in tacoma when i was like 16-17 and i swear to GOD i watched that padlocked door OPEN in the middle of the night! i could not sleep thereafter and instead slept on the couch downstairs in the livingroom
Holy Shit!!! 😱😱😱 A Real life Coraline Door?! And your grandparents house is in Washington state, the Pacific Northwest, an especially creepy coincidence considering the movie was set in Oregon! The state right under Washington!
I loved this movie growing up lol it’s one of the reasons I started sewing 😂
I honestly never knew it people had such a big reaction to it, I thought it was cool and fun to watch
Honestly, "fixed Wybie" was the moment child me was like "okay there's definitely something wrong here. No one should be "fixing" other people"
I love this movie so much and I’m so glad he did this 😂
Coraline reminds me of when parents would rent any animated movie to plunk their kid in front of the TV for two hours, because it's animated, "this will shut them up for 2 hours". Yeah, thanks for Watership Down and Return to Oz ma! Therapy is on you!
I need to see you react to Kubo and the Two Strings. That movie goes insane.
My childhood self wasn't nearly traumatized as much as adult me is traumatized by him simping for these characters

Me and my sister love Coraline whenever we see it, we watch it, it's so fun, the plot is interesting the characters are funny!
Edit: oddly enough neither of us found it scary or creepy when we first watched it even as kids, I see where the creepy aspects are coming from now I'm a bit older
i love how this is just danny simping over coralines parents xD
I like a lot of the theorized mysteries from abitfrank reading and watching Coraline like the mist being a monster.
7:53 Danny you're killing me 😆
Also, Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas!
Can you react to Fruits Basket (2019-2021)? The story is AMAZING! ⭐️💯
yes please!
Its on my list!
2:00 hey, its only terrifying and utterly traumatizing if you.......watch it. yeah i think the children scene was the most horrifying for me. That and the Other Mother transforming. Aaaaand the hand detaching.... C-Can I just say the whole movie?
The makeshift intro song for Coraline became more like a frigging Drug dealing scene where you hide the drugs in dolls to smuggle it pass the boarder💀💀
0:22 I was literally shaking during this film. I couldn't even finish it. To this day, I have never gone back to this movie. I 100% sympathize with you for the fear directed toward this movie.
Edit: I just came back to this movie after watching this video, and I don't know why I was scared to rewatch it. Truly, a masterpiece.
I remember being in love with this movie when I first watched it as a 7 year old. I was never really scared of it, I just liked it a lot. Also my innocent ahh self wasn't able to understand the "theatre" scene.
"You just pick up a rock, and then you're transported to rock world!"
Yes that is exactly what happened 🤣🤣 my siblings and i would spend hours outside playing with sticks
Have you read the book? The Worst Part for me was probably the chase and the Hand still existing in the normal world. Because even if it's trapped at the bottom of the well, it *will* one day escape, I just know itttt.
Also! Check out Kubo and the Two Strings! By the same studio, and there's a character who embodies that 'have you considered the hair could just. Not move? This scene? Please???' way more than Coraline does.
I’m fine with unsettling. I’m so fine with unsettling that as long as there’s no jumpscares, movies like this could go right through me. Funny thing, once I was asked about what I feared for a school project, I brought up jumpscares, the teacher did not know what that was, so she assumed I was afraid of jumps in general, and I never had the will to correct her.
The main thing I love about coralline, is the duality they use with colour and vibrance, you get used to how shit the real world is and how ideal the other world is, making coralline fit better in the other world is genius, and they really get you in coralline’s headspace, making you feel the same emotions as coralline, and making you experience what she is experiencing is amazing. Honestly yeah I adore this movie, it is amazing in every way. The fact that most stop motion’s I’ve seen are better than some 3d animations I’ve seen, is really a testament to how strong that art form is.
I love this movie, and this react was plenty amusing definitely one I'm gonna rewatch many times. Awesome work.
Oh and fun fact the Medal Bobinski is wearing was awarded to Liquidators of the Chernobyl Disaster- do with that what you will.
-Day XX of suggesting to check out Iruma-kun (in the new year) ^.^

Omg! thank you so much for reacting to this! I Absolutely love this movie and watch it all the time and have since I was a kid!
Ah yes, 30 minutes of Danny simping for Coraline’s Mom
Hello Danny! I hope you have a awesome holiday, also would you consider reacting to death note?
Yup! The live action movie, right? ;)
@@DannyMottaYeah :0
Coraline is actually my comfort movie. Not even a joke, I feel calm watching this. It’s probably because when I first saw it I was old enough to not be scared, I had already read the book and once I watched it when I had an unpleasant period and it helped me through it, so it is just kinda stuck in my mind as a movie I can watch when I’m not feeling good
4:35 Just wait until he finds out what kubo And the two strings mother looks like.
Merry Christmas Danny and everyone who finds this comment!! Hopefully you’re having a great day and you end this year on a high note 🎄
Also yes can we please appreciate these beautiful movies? Stop motion is one of the most amazing ways of animation ever created and the masterpieces made with it just keep it on that pedestal
I write books which I hope to make into animated movies some day, some of them will definitely be in creepy stop motion
But I'm head cannon-ing that most of them will be I ghibli style
Coraline was my gateway drug to loving horror.😂
