@@maximoescoand the like you're right about this Theory like it could even be pretty obvious by the ending you know how the parents are supposedly all done with whatever of the work they were doing
@@maximoescoand like like the even the ending gives away a lot of hints and clues like how all the parents in Coraline neighbor friends come together and have a picnic or picnic like gardening and all that stuff
The only thing I disagree about “going out tonight” and doing fun things, is that you missed a crucial scene where coraline and her mother had some development. Coraline was mad for not getting the gloves and the mom says , something along the lines of If things go well today I promise to make it up to you. And coraline didn’t believe her because that’s what the mom always says. The mom looked genuinely sad and I think that’s why she changed her actions in the end of the movie compared to how she was in the beginning.
It’s not that the mom felt bad, their magazine got accepted so they had money now. The thing is Coraline (and the kids watching) don’t understand money isn’t infinite. They *just* moved. They were definitely strapped for cash and working to earn their first payday since moving.
I remember I saw a theory that the Beldam is a type of fairy/faerie, and a way to tell if a faerie is near by is the fruits and vegetables rot. That’s of course not the full theory but that part stuck out to me
There are posters for the Shakespeare festival taking place (inspired by a real festival in the location that inspired Coraline). The kid on the stool is saying “My kingdom for a horse” and play-swordfighting. The men outside the shop are Shakespeare cosplayers. Their behaviors def make sense
When I was a kid, I hated her parents. Now that I’m an adult (don’t have kids) I kinda get it.. they were stressed from moving to a new house. The dad was exhausted and stressed trying to meet a deadline. Not all parents can be happy and bubbly and perfect. Also she said no to these expensive gloves while trying to spend the money they had on getting her the stuff she needed for school.. idk… I get it Once they were done with their work and were able to relax more, we see how much they really love her in the end.
Yep, it's all natural and I don't see them as bad parents at all. Life can be hard and it's hard/not healthy to force yourself to seem happy or high spirited aha
@@Aimai.37 my 12 yr old self watching this blames coraline more. I did not see the parents really ignoring her intentionally they really are just tired and occupied by work and changes that they dont have time to chat with coraline (the father is making the best left efforts he had so points for him) it was really all on coraline
@@oppa5901 exactly, they just seem exhausted to be keeping up so much at once. Coralline being young wants more attention but obviously doesn't understand how much her parents have to do to sustain the modest (or however it would be called) life that they have
haven’t seen the movie in a while, so I’m probably missing something. I would like to know, though, why the Beldam would leave the snow on the parents when they “got back home”. One extra layer to make Coraline believe that it all really *did* happen and the parents were saved? 3:44 She was probably just inspecting them or looking for the price tags. Everyone else, though, was pretty strange. Again, haven’t seen the film in a while, but when her parents say “finish the catalog”, I’m pretty sure that they just meant that they’d finish writing it and drop it off wherever they needed to. It’s not like her parents hate her or anything; they’re just busy with the moving and the work and the mother’s injury. It makes sense that with the work done, they could have time to go out. Well, the cat *is* magic, or at least implied to be, so that’s why he disappears like that. Otherwise, why would the Beldam do make it do that when nobody’s around to see it?
That actually is an interesting thought especially the food that's the first time I'm ever seeing something about that it's one of those scenes you forget
I thought the mom was actually just wearing a silly neck accessory 😭 I can't believe I didn't put two and two together when she mentions "the accident'
Good theory like 10/10 but have you ever been to Oregon? Weird people are everywhere When i was in elementary and taking a field trip to the city someone screamed at my group that we were all going to die
hey bro, you and the fangirl need to collaborate on this because i didn't even consider that notion in the movie! also i recommend both the fangirl and the theorizer because there's so many stuff we miss remember that clothes shopping scene, the fangirl video brought this up that the belldam was spying and got coraline the clothes, but i forgot they were indeed in the snow globe
Neil Gaiman has debunked this one pretty thoroughly. Rule of thumb, if your "Theory" requires ignoring scenes in the movie, it's just an edgelord mess.
neighbors being nice to a kid they'll probably have living in whats basically their house is pretty normal especially if they want that kid to behave themselves.
This one girl did a complete breakdown on this theory based on scenes from the book as well. I wish I could remember her channel name, I feel like these two videos would work well together because they both cover such interesting details
How did I barely realize that the real mother has a neck brace?!?!?!?! I always thought it was a removable turtle neck that came with her sweater. It does partially explain her attitude in the beginning of the film, I think.
The only thing that annoys me with this kind of theorys is that the book proves them wrong, but that just me who are boring and takes the book more ”serious” than only focus on the movie 😅
Honestly that could make a good sequel where Coraline realizes slowly that she isn't in her real world and that her parents are still in the other world and she needs to go and get the key from the tunnel but you got to be hard because ain't no way why are you going to actually help her out of the tunnel when she gets the key back because the other mother would not want her to go back to the other world because if she did and she did actually you know get her parents free from the other mothers grass and find the real exit then the other mother would have no way of ever becoming stronger because there would be no human children coming in because Coraline would find a way to destroy the key once and for all and also she should probably put concrete on the door to make sure that nobody can actually open it even when the other mother does her magical thing and suddenly the brick wall disappears
to me when it comes what happened to Coraline’s parents I just like to think that the Other Mother must of use some kind of spell that just made them disappear from reality and into the snow globe and the figures we see of them feeling all scared and cold aren’t actually them just figures of them and the real them are just frozen in time and when Coraline free them they are just free from the frozen time of space and immediately appear back to reality and have no indication of what just happened to them and to them just feels like nothing happened to them
this theory is interesting but i disagree with the fake tunnel part. I think that the tunnel got all weird and dirty and old looking because the bedlam had lost most of her power in the other world (the ghost children’s eyes) and she couldn’t have had more power to make a fake tunnel let alone another “real” world. i don’t know tho it’s just a theory 😭😭
The Coraline Parent Theory is a fan theory that suggests that the "Other Mother" in the film Coraline is a representation of the neglectful and abusive parents of the protagonist, Coraline. The theory points to several clues throughout the film that suggest this interpretation, such as the fact that the Other Mother initially appears to be loving and caring, but quickly becomes controlling and manipulative. This could symbolize how abusive parents can often appear to be loving at first, but gradually reveal their true colors over time. Additionally, the Other Mother is physically represented as a tall, thin figure with exaggerated features, which could be a metaphor for the larger-than-life presence that abusive parents can have in a child's life. Furthermore, the Other Mother's desire to "sew buttons" over Coraline's eyes could symbolize the way that abusive parents can try to control and silence their children, preventing them from seeing the truth of their situation. Overall, the Coraline Parent Theory suggests that the film is not just a dark fantasy tale, but a representation of the very real horrors that some children face in abusive households. It serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of neglectful and abusive parenting, and the importance of recognizing and addressing these issues before they escalate.
I also wondered if when Coraline thought she went back the first time if that was fake and the other mother just made it look like her parents disappeared too draw her back and when she left the last time was the final escape. Have you done deep dives into the actual book?
I'm going completely honest i never noticed the real mums neck brace i always thought she was just wearing a turtle neck
lmaoo i always thought it was a turtle neck too until doing this video

I really like how you close your theory videos with "I don't know, I'm probably overthinking." Instead of "But hey, that's just a theory."

They Could’ve had their memories lost after Coraline saved them
That actually is an interesting thought especially the food that's the first time I'm ever seeing something about that it's one of those scenes you forget
honestly i’ve watched this movie sooo many times and this was the first time I actually thought about the food being rotten as well
I thought the mom was actually just wearing a silly neck accessory 😭 I can't believe I didn't put two and two together when she mentions "the accident'
I would’ve thought this video was from a larger channel based on the quality of this video
thats means a lot thank you! 🤞🏼
btw the kid who rides down the stairs on a stool says "my kingdom for a horse"
y'all just hate happy endings i think 😭
Good theory like 10/10
but have you ever been to Oregon?

This is literally overthinking 😂
I think this theory is actually true, they practically told us she never made it out with the cat at the end.
The more you analyze the Film the worse/creepier it would be. I love the effort put into the Film, to make it so open(theories, details)
neighbors being nice to a kid they'll probably have living in whats basically their house is pretty normal especially if they want that kid to behave themselves.
When he said the snow part was fake I just wondered how because they were in a snowglobe that bel dam trapped them in
I am Absolutely Speechless!🤯
This Theory is Fascinating to Dissect, And the Video is Well-Made!
really means a lot, thank you so much :)!

Clothing stores have mirrors, so bedlam could control aspects of the town
Wow loved your explanations
thank you!!!
"witches can send messages through mirrors" bro who was gonna tell me I could do that
The only thing that annoys me with this kind of theorys is that the book proves them wrong, but that just me who are boring and takes the book more ”serious” than only focus on the movie 😅
Maybe the other mother made a fake tunnel and little door at the end to trick coraline. Maybe thats why the tunnel looks different?
And why reality is still warped
i still love coraline theories
Very good theory.
I think Coraline was abused by her Parents and she loves other Parents
this theory is very good, but I just gotta at 3:40, I think she's just looking for price tags
thanks bro!! and lmaoo probably..
Awesome video
thank you so much :D
