#Coraline #coraline10 #bookvsmovie #thefangirl - Krátké a kreslené filmy
I like the movie WAYYYYYYYY better than the comic
the graphic novel is waaaaay better
i like the book wayyyyyyy better (actually)
Mia Kontabi it looks creepy to be honest.....
RiceGumGirlxoxo GumGirlXoxo maybe bc its a Horror book xD
me too.
Maybe I'm just being picky, but I hate how the door to the other world in the comic is a plain, standard house door. It overall lacks creativity and doesn't suggest that the Other Mother's primary targets are children, which the movie perfectly depicts by making the door *small* for small children.
No Face I agree!
Viktoria Magrey The graphic novel was made a year before the movie, though..
the graphic novel and the movie are both based on the novel by Neil Gaiman, and it's just a normal door.
I agree. It also plays into it being weird and old as a little door. Old houses tended to have weird little doors and weird little rooms. Though it should be notes in the original book it was just a normal door.
Good point! I agree.
The movie seems to make more sense then the graphic novel
yeah ikr.
the movie in comparison with the book is complete trash
@@tudor1693 hah nice opinion but I think not. The graphic seems to plain but it is more interesting and gives off more information
@@tudor1693 yes the movie which has a lot of detail has mrs lovat and wybie and cora line has blue hair and looks better is trash. Seriously. Wow
Galaxy Wolf thefuck
The part where she says she has put her mother in the grave herself scares me so much for some reason
It is creepy, especially since the line implies that her mother wasn't dead when she buried her. 0.0
The Fangirl did beldam buried her mother or what i didnt read novel or book so sad
The Fangirl AHHHHHHHH
Ivana Levak it's how she became the Beldame in the first place..
~I found her trying to crawl out, i put her back
-the other mather
Coraline's character design here is so boring xd
Yeah. The coraline from the movie had more depth to her personality and looks.
Agreed
Yeah
yeah WHERES DAT BLUE HAIR
Bit late but Coraline didn’t have blue hair in the book either. The graphic novel isn’t supposed to be an adaptation of the movie
Weird theory: what if the house is alive and uses the other mother to draw children in and trick them into staying in the other world to "eat" children.
Oh, that's not a bad idea at all!
keekermojo like that ice cream monster in SpongeBob ? It's a silly Comparison but if it's similar to the idea
Monster House?
Munira Wilson
Monster House is an animated Halloween movie. Pretty good if you want to check it out
This sounds a little too much like the shadow house series. Where the shadow creature lures people to the shadow house to feed on their fear. Except it's four children and a ghost.
Tbh I think that in the graphic novel everyone looks waay too normal. I wouldn't read it, the movie made everything so interesting, and even the characters are portrayed in a more excentric way which I thinks brings up the story to a whole new different level.
exactly.
Samii Naranjo I was very disappointed when the other mother didn't turn into the "monster" at the end
You'll never know if you don't read it.
I read the Graphic Novel
Samii Naranjo ✔Yeppp yepp👌👀
Wtf the other mother in the comic looks even more creepy than in the film.
BeyondMyThoughts because she’s more human imagine how creeped out kids would be watching the movie if they hadn’t made the Beldam look more fictional and doll/robotic like
Shes just uglier in the comics lol. In the movie, shes aesthetically creepy.
Yeah, in the movie she's creepy, but can be ignored in time. In the comic, it's one of the scariest shit I have ever seen.
No not really just uglier
Once again... The Movie Makes me feel strange.... Not scared.... anyone else? Or am I the only one who is in love with the movie this way?
Same...except for the old ladies in thd other world. That part scared me
I think the door being small in the movie actually is more significant than we think. The well looks around the same size and similar, also it implies that she only lures children as the door is small. This would prove that she tries to get the children to love them and to use that magic
the ghost boy looks like the sad icecream boy in the movie. Blonde and is wearing the same outfit!
Bella Scrivener omg great point!
Yea! Thats what I was thinking!
I will just put this out there and idk if I am too late and you possibly already heard of it or read up on it, but the whole reflection in a mirror thing is actually tied to the theory that only beings with souls can be reflected in it. This is why Vampires in lore wouldn't reflect and why there are superstitions like that of Bloody Mary and why breaking a mirror can bring you bad luck. In some cultures, this belief is so prevalent that they cover any reflective surface if they know someone is close to death as they believe the soul can be trapped in them. (also why the mirror breaking curse is only really possible if your reflection is actually in the mirror when it shatters)
so the fact that the Beldam is shown without a reflection, is basically supposed to imply that she is soulless perhaps? But that is just a theory, I have.
You know, my oldest son said something similar to this before (that vampire's have no souls so they have no reflection, but ghosts can be seen in mirrors because they're only soul). It's so hard to pinpoint down what the Beldam is, but part Vampire is very possible.
But in superstition, Vampires are not the only creatures to not have a reflection (depending on the culture). It's been a while since I read up on creatures that don't show a reflection, but if memory serves, this would include faeries and other creatures that don't originate from humans. However, by definition, "Beldam" is an old, malicious woman/witch. So if we go by that, it isn't too far a stretch to say that it is possible she had sold her soul long before. But yes, a vampire is also possible as it is mentioned she needs to suck the life from her victims, but never really mentioned how. A truly intriguing subject the Beldam is.
i read the book and the beldam said something that the mirror lies??
in my belief ghosts are just the identity of the person whiles souls itself are just souls and i think vampires do have souls because it is required if you have a body that is breathing and living ,while the mirror thing i think it is because it is un real like how your imaginary friend can't be seen by other people
I read this interesting thing that pointed out that since most older mirrors were backed with silver (a metal that has a reputation for being holy) vampires were unable to see their reflections in them because they were considered unholy abominations. Today most mirrors are backed with aluminum so it'd be pretty funny to think about some old vampire scaring himself after seeing his reflection for the first time in a century.
The Pink Palace limbo theory actually makes sense. I was thinking, If she feeds off of magic, why would she not die in the Real world that doesn't have magic?
Right? Even if it's a robotic hand in the "real world," I doubt the Beldam has an engineering degree if she uses magic (meaning, if her body is part robotic, it's functioning because she's holding the parts together and moving them with magic) - so at the very least, if that hand actually did go into the real world, it should have come apart.
Ikr!! But, like. If coraline was smart enough, how would she even turn the uh, "portal" to the real world, so she can REALLY escape!
Agreed, plus it's possible of two things. One: the world, the whole world, is also magical (like the cat disappearing at the end or the seeing eye from Ms. Spink and Ms. Forcible's) 2: The Beldam can invade the world, but either can only be the true monster version of herself (does the Beldam even have a true gender?) or just uses up her magic even more. Which makes sense seeing how frantic the hand is at the end of the movie
8:24 Coraline is legitimately a horror story.
Yeah that's what it was meant to be
Yeah even in the book she said that
In the movie Spink and Forcible don't have the button eyes at first. They are just sewn-on eyes.
Interesting. I noticed they started with white buttons, what do you think qualifies them as sew-on eyes over "normal" button eyes?
The Fangirl
What doesn't qualify them?
Before they turned young they had normal eyes
No they had white buttons with blue "eyeshadow" on them, then when they turned young the buttons became black like everyone else's. The other mother did tell Coraline she could have whatever color she wanted, plus I'm sure it helped with tricking Coraline with the illusion that they may have been real eyes then buttons. But yea, if you pause and look closely, they are definitely buttons the whole time.
the boy looks eerily similar to the painting of the boy who's ice cream fell... which is seen in the movie...
Yes! i was going to mention that!
In the book (not graphic novel) one of the girls said that the other mother cut her hair and put her in trousers, thus making her a "little boy". Could you explain that because once I read a theory saying that the other mother had a son (maybe the little boy) who wouldn't listen so she tossed him down the well (or behind a mirror) and then he came back as the black cat. And maybe the little boy with the ice cream was the other mother's son, the boy-girl, or the boy behind the mirror (as long as the other mother's original isn't the boy behind the mirror). Please like this so that she can see it and maybe use it as a theory.
i think the deal with the other mother's reflection is just to point on how "inhuman" and ''monstrous" she is, but it doesn't make much sense since she's clearly all that from the beginning with her button eyes and all
yasmin sanches I think it could also mean she doesn't have a soul!
I don't think Coraline is placed in 2009 I think it would take place in 2002 the same year as the book.
I think it solid that it's set in 2002 because there's just no modern technology infact the only electronic devices shown were the parent's computers. Coraline's mother had a pretty thick laptop on and I even looked abit closer and it had one of those blue buttons in the middle of the keyboard that was used as a mouse. I don't remember any laptop having one of those after 2009.
While her dad over here had this giant dinosaur of a computer that looks like it was made in the early 80's. Maybe he just sold his own laptop when his wife got in that car accident and used that old thing.
Also you're right it is VERY weird that the other mother would just know Miss. Spink and Miriam. I enjoy your theories.
Ahh, but what if the financial issues are why their tech is old? I didn't have a smart phone until 2011, and I bought a big, bulky desktop brand new in 2008. And, why deny Coraline a cheap pair of gloves and be so obsessed with work and move from Michigan to a tiny tiny town in Oregon? It all sounds like her family is broke!
You have a point there.
And they probably moved here because the house was cheap
In 2013, I bought a new thick laptop with those buttons in the middle of the keyboard that you can use as a mouse (using it right now). Most of my grade at that time bought them.
Just based on my childhood as a “2001 kid” i think the whole other mother thing would have happened around 2005-7 due to the fact by that time my family and most friends had thinner computer screens by then and we were by no means rich. I can’t recall her age but she must have been born in the late 1990’s. Also she still plays outside which I kinda stopped around age 13. Her parents jobs are also unusual and remind of something my parents did in the early 2000’s but 2010 technology changed fast and most people chose higher paying jobs.
Most people will probably disagree but I was a very observant child and that’s how my life’s timeline was.
I like the movies art style but the comics art style isn't my favorite
Like if you agree!
I like both
I didn't read the "Graphic novel" or watch the movie
I read the normal book, all words, I was extremmely intruiged by all of this
(Quick edit)
I don't believe it was ALL WORDS I am quite sure there was a picture every chapter or so
Banannadale Videozz I wasn't even aware there was a book. Who much is it in dollars?
Bocolate
Google it? 😕
Ok good for you
Cattuccino What do you mean? The book came first.
Banannadale Videozz I distinctly remember the book having a picture of the Other Mother, looking distorted with...something in her mouth. Unless it was just the version I had, I think you're right.
Coraline without the blue hair looks too normal.
There needs to be a Coraline 2 because of this!
DaBLiZStation Yeah. It won’t happen but I’d love to see it.
The ghosts of her parents are actually her remembering how they love her and them encouraging her. In the book it’s stated that her father let a hive of bees attack him so Coraline could escape, and that was how she got the strength to go save her parents. On the last stretch through the passageway, she was almost out of strength to carry on, but the memory of her parents helped her escape.
Vampires are said to have no reflection becuase they have no soul. They same ocurrs to the Beldam in the comic book so maybe it means that since she has no eyes ( the eyes are the window to the soul blah blah... She used her soul to create the world ) so she doesn't have a soul, therefore she has no reflection
Pauline_The Piggyhorn13 isnt it because mirrors used to be made of silver and silver was sacred? That means modern vamps won't really be affected
In the movie though, you can see in the mirror she does have a reflection
I think the rat songs are meant to say that the rats had been there long before humans and will stay long after humans
Buttons The Doll Maker makes me think the tunnel is a rat...
i think the rats know about the other mother, and its their nature. if look deeper into it, rats represent betrayl and the manifestation of evil, so why wouldnt they flaunt out to coraline masked in a poem.
What I think by the beldam only has one reflection is that she don't have 2 sides she don't have a good side only a bad side. Because she is standing by the mirror and the mirror side would be the good side but the non reflected version is the evil or (bad) side
This might be a stretch butttt what ifff the cat was actually the beldams son (the blue boy in the painting) he died in the well so the beldam makes him a cat, cats and children aren't the same so she resorts to finding a replacement so the boy becomes angry that hes being replaced so he sides with coraline. Theres some things wrong here I know (let me know kindly. Not rudely) but I feel something like this happened.
There are theories about this on CZcams - a lot of people think about these things too.
You are not alone here.
Well actually the graphic novel portrays the story like the original story. I hated that they added a boy to save Coraline in the movie and it did mess a lot of things up and the original charm of the novel. I don't get it how a so many people think of the movie as the center story or have never bothered to read the book.
Waaahhhhh a boy saves a girl?????? how saddening! much disappoint :'(((((((((((
Señor MeinKrafter2020 idc about the gender but in the actual book she was able to solve it on her own, there is no need to create a character to help her
Why not add another character, who cares? some artistic choices should be allowed to be made. It could be said that books do not perfectly translate to film, so they added a new character to make it more interesting. Some things had to be cut and some things had to be added to make the story cogent and marketable for mainstream audiences. Probably.
Is everyone going to just ignore the fact that Coraline saves Wybie too? He nearly falls in the well, barely hanging on until Coraline crushes the Other Mother's hand with a rock.
@@emphoenixcat1110 That person clearly did ignore that fact, about her saving him.
Part of me wonders if the monster in the tunnel is only there to emphasis that the connection between the worlds are much older than just the other mother. A monster so old no one knows what it is because it only exist between two worlds. I'm not sure if there are any stories about a beast that is such but would be interesting if there is.
hiddentrueth the book mentions that the passage is older than the Beldam, a sort of entity in itself
hiddentrueth pennywise is similar to that
Maybe the fuzzy and then wet walls of the corridor are the well. The theory that the well and the corridor are sort of the same, makes sense to me. Fine, down like fur can be like moss. The hot, wetness could be a sort of perspiration and how the bottom of a well would feel.
I almost have my own theory that she fell down the well and that's how the other mother got a hold of her. Tried to make her death a little less scary maybe? Could also explain her comment about "someone" telling her what the sky looks like from the bottom of a well.
So she's stuck in the well and cant get out?
Ovate Reyne wow that's a great theory, it would also emphasize the meaning of the well, since the ladies that live underneath the house warn her of the well, the connection to the well and the door is also shown, not only here but in the movie since that is in the end where the hand is thrown into (maybe going back to the other world) and also she almost falls in the movie through the well, signifying maybe that in the book she did end up falling and what she feels is the well.
And now she's trying to escape limbo and save her soul
When I read the book, I was disappointed that wybie wasn't in it. But I do find the characters much creepier in the book for some reason
Angela Orr it shows a very resoursefull Coraline, which is pretty cool, the book was really good
i agree
Coraline Jones
Same about the characters being creepier. I think it's because of the art style differences.
Here’s what I think: The mirror from the wardrobe was the Beldam’s, and she was human once.
I was thinking that maybe she was that first kid's governess, but that's without fully reading the graphic novel
And she Had a mother
(In the book)
tiny theory... what if its like Persephone. once you eat you can't leave. she ate the dinner.
in the movie they had normal eyes until they jumped out of the suits
If you pause and walk up real close to the TV, they're actually white buttons with blue eye shadow on them. It took me a few times through the scene to catch it myself.
At the end when she feels as if she were inside someone’s mouth: I think that it is trying to tell you that she never escaped in case someone hadn’t realized it. It’s trying to tell you that all of those people were eaten. She never saved them. Right there when she went back to the “normal world” it was only her body leaving. Her spirit stayed in the hallway. She died.
thank you for making this
Thank you for watching it! :)
That song that the mice were singing 9:15 is a remix to an aussie song we use. It goes (We are one, but we are many,
And from all the lands on earth we come.
We'll share a dream and sing with one voice,
"I am, you are, we are Australian")
my god i think the comic book depiction of the beldam is even more terrifying
6:32 Maybe the Beldam has no reflection because she has no soul (that's why vampires don't have a reflection as well)
when they say the mirror was in a wardrobe it reminded me of the lion the witch and the wardrobe/the chronicles of Narnia. In that movie the wardrobe was a portal to another world so is the mirror a portal only accessible to the other mother. This would explain how she lures her in because she can go through the mirror to gather info so she gets all of coralines likes and dislikes so she can get everything for her! What do you think?
Curtis Gannon, very interesting too. The wardrobe mirror could be large enough for the Bedlam to trap the parents too. And move from one world to another.
I don't think the Beldam herself can come into the real world. She probably can create imagery in the mirror to distort reality. Imagine you are Coraline's parents and you see something abnormal in the mirror, you lean forward to get a closer look and then a pair of long fingered hands pull you in
i feel like that the reason she doesn't have a reflection because it is supposed to represent her as a vampire like creature that sucks the life force from the person they quote and quote love
6:16 that cat has seen some crap! btw 100th comment.
Hey, congrats on 100th commenting! i have no idea how to see that information, so I fully accept your word on it. Thanks for dropping by!
The Fangirl thanks.
No wyvie in the comic??? NOOOOO
Strawberry Bubleteasenpai808
It was made before the movie so yea
Even in the book there was no wyvie
Sorry but that's just how it is
Strawberry Bubleteasenpai808 they came up with wybie for the movie so Coraline wasn't just talking to herself the whole time
Strawberry Bubleteasenpai808 **Wybie
I know, I appreciate so much the addition of Wybie (and the other Wybie as well)
Strawberry Bubleteasenpai808 WHY WERE YOU BORN
9:16 maybe it's a reference to the song, 'I am you are, We are Australian'.
I just say this because the chorus of the song is:
We are one We are small
But we are many But we are many
And from the lands of Earth we come We are many
We'll share a dream and sing with one voice We are small
I am We were here before you rose
You are We will be here
We are Australian When you fall
Sorry, I just think they're kinda similar
Yeah, the original book is by Neil Gaiman, and it's my favorite version of Coraline.
really interesting and helpful video, thanks a lot!
Hey, Megan! Oo I'm really getting into your Coraline theories again heheh, I love your channel. Hope you're doing well! I'm doing great! Have a great week, girl! 😊💋
this is awesome!!!! This is so perfect. No other comparison like this :3! u hit everything! for all coraline mediums!! thank you for this
I have the graphic novel and it's scary as hell lol
I had to read it for school but NEVER thought of the new stuff
Thank you so much for this!
If she doesn't have a reflection, she doesn't have a soul.
The wardrobe thing feels like a reference to Narnia. If you've ever read the first Narnia book it's quite similar with lots of portals to different worlds and a secret door in a house.
Can't the fairy flying around in the end also signify that she is still stuck in the other world because it's all pretty much imaginary.
Possibly, but the fairy at the end was seen in Coraline's dream, so it's already up for debate as to how real that moment was.
I see it as the little girl was dressed up as a fairy and loved pretending she was one up until the moment she died. In spirit, she is still that fairy. On the other hand, I've seen theories that the Other Mother is an evil fairy. It's possible that the spirit was an actual good fairy spirit that the Other Mother had trapped there.
There is a book of Coraline and the other mother DID kill her mom and said"i buried her there myself, and when i cought her trying to get out i put her back in".
Interesting video. If you have seen a delete scene in the movie, when Coraline dreams and talks to the dead children. They say that she is still in danger from the beldam.
I love a good Coraline theory ❤
Thank you for posting
Alright from the picture of the rats singing I think it could mean that although they are small and powerless, there are a lot to lure the children to the Belldame (I hope I spelt her name right >.
What’s wrong with wybie saving Coraline?
It's nothing against Wybee in particular, it's more than too many movies show girls/women getting saved by boys/men as if they're too stupid/helpless to ever save themselves. Telling or suggesting to people that they can't do something over and over tends to leave long term psychological effects to where people start believing what they're told.
The Fangirl I really don’t think that was the intention here. Whybee didn’t absolutely have to do that. Coraline is probably stronger than the hand and could’ve gotten back up in the distance from the well to the door. Wybee showing up to help is more of a “friends working together” type thing (since she saved him too when the hand was trying to make him fall down the well). Also Wybee needed a concrete reason to believe wha Coraline was saying, and without that interaction he would have nothing to believe and have no reason to bring his grandmother to the garden party at the end.
So many theory's for a kids film
You should see how I went through The OA episode by episode to discredit the story. And, animated doesn't always mean "for kids," and this movie has some really mature horror moments.
The Fangirl
Yeah, but it is a horror for kids. It doesn't make it any less cool or scary for an adult tho. It's a great movie. ❤️
I LOVE all the theories!
Every one should be able to enjoy inaseinted movies it doesn't matter if it's animated or not or if kids can watch it I'm not an adult but still there just movies
"-Where in the movie, Wybie (Idk if that's how you spell it) has to save her and I *hate* that!"
Excuse me, but I think that Wybie (Again, I probably butchered that) saving/helping Coraline was sweet.
Sorry, just my opinion owo
I would suggest reading the actual book it gives a bit more background knowledge and Coraline goes into the other flat. ( I read this last year so my memory is exactly vivid) It also changes different perspectives and I think having the book would allow your theories to thrive.
I've been watching coraline since I was about 3 years old and it has always been one of my favorite movies. It would actually scare my mom and brothers a little bit to see how obsessed I was with this creepy and unsettling movie, and the fact that I wasn't scared at all. I still love this movie and my favorite part will always be the opening scene. This movie is so fascinating and if you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it. Its on Netflix as most people know.
Idk the point of this comment but yeah ☺
There's a theory/belief that goes that your reflection is a representation of your soul, which is why vampire's don't have a reflection because they aren't supposed to have souls (I'm talking old school vampires, none of that glitters in the sun mess), I think it's supposed to represent the fact that the Beldam/Other Mother has no soul, therefore, has no reflection.
i'm pretty sure the wardrobe reference refers to when the other mother opens the mirror like a wardrobe and there's a room behind it, as you would if the mirror was on a wardrobe door
The beldam kind of reminds me of arachne, from the greek myths.
Fangirl! I watched the movie again yesterday and I just found a clue that Coraline is in the PPL! (Pink Palace Limbo) before she finds the white space in the other world, the trees in the orchard are blossoming and when she’s in the “Real World” when she throws the key away, the orchard is blossoming and in the beginning of the movie, which is surely in the real world, the trees don’t have leaves but in the other world they do and when she was in the fake real world they did as well! I beleive you NOW
I love both
Art scratch™
Both are friggin scary
And also for the rats I think when they are chanting their lines and at the end when they say “we will be here when you fall” is since it was the mothers plan to kill coralline it may try to show the rats are like disposing of the body and picking up the scraps that was supposed to be coralline’s body
Highland terroir can also be used to refer to the black 'Scotty dogs' in the movie
Actually in the movie as in the graffic novel(shown at 4:01) did have normal eyes before taking off the old lady suits.
This was so interesting
that's the problem with the book version of Coraline, she's too muted in personality, excitement, anger or fear, all get the same understated reaction.
Because of that, I just can't get as invested in book Coraline as I wanted too.
I know I'm late but while I was watching your Coraline videos, I couldn't help but think that if everything about Coraline not having successfully escaped is true, and given that her parents might have met the Beldam before Coraline, then it could be possible that they voluntarily stayed in the other world and accepted to get the buttons. That could be why in the graphic novel, they are depicted as ghosts. I haven't read the graphic novel but it could be that they simply turned to ghosts, meaning that the Beldam ate them.
Now how long it takes for the Beldam to feed herself from her victims has already been explored but I would argue that they became ghosts so rapidly because they had little to no magic.
If we think about Mel and the car wreck she might have caused to trick the insurance, and how she always seems pissed at everyone, and about the dull, uninteresting real Charlie, the Jones family didn't seem very happy.
So maybe Mel and Charlie were just too tired/depressed/stressed to go on with their lives and they literally abandoned Coraline ?
I imagine they didn't have any hopes or self confidence or happiness to give the Beldam so she just had a very light snack and there is really no one left in the pink palace in the real world
If she doesn't have a reflection then WTF is that? 11:04
I'm a person Deal with it
Oh yeah! I see what you're talking about. You can see her arm and dress in a mirror behind her, just not her hand.
exectly why the little boy said she lied when she swore by her quote on quote "good hand"
Bob Normal me too
I borrowed the Graphic Novel from the Library, I loved it!! But i loved the video more! :)
What I was told was that having a reflection in the mirror proves that you have a soul so for example vampires don’t have reflections because they are soulless so it may be the same for the beldam since she is so ruthless to keep herself alive that she kills all the kids to feed off of them and for their magical power of love towards the mother is to why the beldam gives them whatever they want to make them feel like she can be trusted
I love reading graphic novel, my school when I was in 5th grade had it, checked it out any day I could ^^
It could be the other mother’s parents trying to help Coraline Get revenge on their daughter
this was uploaded on my birthday
Happy *late* Birthday! :D
The Fangirl thx
In the comic I think the slimy walls was the Beldams mouth or stomach... Meaning Coraline was fooled, or the other world IS the Beldam, and she's the size of a room, maybe even a house, and she has to keep her prey in her until she can digest them.
Oof this is awesome I didnt know there was a graphic novel XD
But seriously...
HOW THE FLIP DID I MISS IT.
Im obsessed with this movie, watch it all the time.
One big thing that i think you skipped was that it was specifically the Other Mothers right hand that got through, and when she swears to Coraline that she will play fair, and obviously dosnt, she swears on her RIGHT hand
why does everyone hate the fact Wybie saves her in the movie?
I want a live action remake of this movie
What if the beldam becomes your worst fears to like she's afraid of spiders.
tbh i love the movie and the graphic novel both so much. i feel the plot differences of the graphic novel are better and i like the artstyle a lot.
The face you keep showing of the other mother is absolutely terrifying to me.
I prefer the movie more because she only goes about once or twice, and it all happens fast. Wybee (Sorry if I spelled that wrong English isn't my first language ) is one of the best characters. I also liked the movie because It seems like it took place earlier in time, but the movies have more modern TV shows.
The mirror being from the wardrobe. Is probably a reference to The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe. Because the wardrobe had a mirror in it and transports people to another world.
I wonder if the old Miss. Spink and Miss. Forcible ended up getting ripped apart to reveal the younger versions means that when Coraline first went in. She never left, maybe that happened as soon as anyone set foot in there. Maybe it’s like the murder house from AHS. When you go in there, there’s a lot of death and spirits wondering around occupying the house still
the rats saying we are small, but we are many ,we were here ,before you rose ,we will be here ,when you fall only tells me of them being from the other world and if a kid dies there they eat the body
Also, Coraline in the comic looks about 15 years old from the back - P
The reason I like the book better is because I grew up reading the book and I’ve always loved the art style and the fact that it’s more creepy than the movie
In my case, i grew up watching the movie and I'm literally fall in love with the design of characters, backgrounds and the themes, i just love so much, but i recently start reading the book and is a lot more creepy than the movie and i really loved, both book and movie is amazing.
I'm the graphic novel the key to the other world is black, the key to the mirror is silver and the key to the empty flat is gold
Idk of anyone else has said this yet.... but the little boy ghost (7:30) looks like the boy in the picture centered in the room where the crawl space type tunnel is that can be seen in the movie. Them having basically the same outfit brought that to my attention. I could be completely wrong, but I thought I'd mention it.
I just realized that the ghost boy that appears behind the mirror could be the same boy from the painting in Coraline's movie, also The Beldam has no reflection not because she is a vampire but because she is not real.
