They could have easily done a lot of scenes using cgi, but they decided to build it by hand. Huge respect
That’s why the movie is so mesmerizing. Nothing in it looks fake or cgi. It looks tangible and real.
A big part of it was cgi is expensive
@@brycestinemetz634 Doing it this way was more expensive in this case, cgi would've be less.

I just watched Coraline the other day, and the fact that it wasn't computer animated has blown me away. 😀
The *OTHER* day
@@borntobeewild7529 the ✨other day✨
Pun intended? 👀
It truly has *blown us all away*
@@-denikaella-6340 the other day ⚫️🫦⚫️
honestly, i watched this movie when i was younger and it always gave me a creepy vibe. i never knew it was horror cause i always thought horror movies were showing people dying and shit like that. and i honestly would've never guessed this movie was stop-motion. one of the best movies for sure.
Tha greatest movie of all time Changed my mind💢💳
This is horror without ghosts or dying people. Sometimes I don't even know why it creeps me so much! As far as I remember there is not even one drop of blood in the movie. It's just perfectly made!
Same, i love this movie but i had a trauma when i was little but, i’ve seen it again and i love it
@@iloveyeshua8096the movie has ghosts, the children that died. Definetly a creepy animation.
Imagine people didn’t like this movie. I would feel so bad for the people that put all the work into this.
Thea Sings I was just plain scared of it
although i love the the style and animation its to creepy for me to watch the entire thing
When it first came out I think I THINK I was like 3 or 4 and I loved it I LIKED CREEPY STUFF hate it now
I know so many people who hate the movie but I think it’s absolutely fascinating
Lol when I read the comments saying that they were terrified of the movie Coraline I can not relate I loved the movie 😂
Respect to all of this artists that created a masterpiece.
I also respect
Respect to the writer, the book is amazing (even if there isn't wybie)
@@suelenramos412 x2
Ik
I respect all the creators because this must’ve took soo long
at first it was creepy but later in life coraline became my comfort movie. thank you so much to all creator artists for making this masterpiece🥺
Same.
my comfort movie too!! 🖤
I always found it relaxing because of the soundtrack. Most of the film is very relaxed too. I'm always amazed when reators hear 10 seconds of the opening song and act like they're watching The Conjuring 🙃 Weird how easy it is to disturb the average person.
Everyone's loving on the animators and while I wholeheartedly agree, I also want to acknowledge the amazing composers/musicians. The soundtrack was so good
I can't be the only one who wants to play with the set and the dolls.
Lottie Wolf ur not I want to sadly as well :(
Yessssss same but I wish I made it so I could take them lol
Yass and change the faces the hands stuff like that and omg in the start there was a drawer of buttons and they actually had a drawer of faces so cool
I want tooo!!
Same
I don't know why but even tho coraline is kinda creepy I always wanna watch it over and over again maybe it's because of the satisfying kind of animation which is stop motion and it's music is very very relaxing..
Same! I could watch it 1 million times and i will never get bored of it.
I never thought it was creepy lol
I know how you feel this was my childhood
That’s the aesthetic. It’s intentional. It’s directed by Henry Selik.

this movie was my childhood. i have it all memorized.

Can we just appreciate the fact that they worked so hard to make the movie?
I used to think this movie was animated but when i found out it was stopmotion i had so much respect for these people

She said animated not animation,
Stop motion and a movie being animated is way different
It still is animated :)
Cee Cruz and they did it so smoothly! Mad props 👏👏👏
@@ionadavies1295 it's not. Animation and stop motion are way different :)
sweetname could you explain? I understand that 2D and 3D animation are different, but they are still considered animation. What makes stop motion not animated?
No one gives enough credit to the amount of work that was put into this movie
I think this movie already get enough. This movie should be lucky because most people are more excited about this movie than 9 (one of the kids horror movie that released at the same time).
Your saying this like coraline doesnt have a cult folowing
Jessi Vee almost mentions this in her Volg channel, she loves that movie.
I had nightmares because of this movie and i dont know why
Luna that doesn’t mean there can’t be a sequel... At all... Especially when Neil Gaiman is involved :-P
If it would've been animated, I wouldn't even like the movie as much. Stop-motion makes it special, it gives it vibes I didn't know existed untill i watched the movie. I like to watch it on rainy days because it makes the vibe even better. It's different and unique and people took alot of time to make this, the patience these people have is incredible. I love this movie, the stop-motion features, the rainy season in the movie,the plot,the nostalgia,the styles,the features, the voice actors and basically everything is amazing, unique, special and just different. It's really different. It has amazing vibes idk how to really describe.
The lady who knitted all those pieces looks like a fairy. Amazing artists, so much love for their work
MAD RESPECT for the people who created this movie

I can't wait for when people from this generation come back to Coraline and it garners the fans and recognition it truly deserves. such a beautiful work of art!
Funny, I never came back after long time not seeing it. I always watched it at least 5 times a year. But also like 5000 times a year, never getting bored about it. Even tho I say it as a child and I am a grown up man.
@@benjaminbjornsson me too, Man U watch it at least 5 times a year! I was a child when it came out, and now I’m 22. Ever since the first time I saw it, it’s been my favourite movie. The joker, coraline, and shutter island are my top 3 movies of all time. It’s so crazy how I’ve loved this movie from my childhood to now being grown up.
Definitely not
I remember watching this when I was little and not thinking it was scary and my mom thinking it was the scariest thing ever lol
They knit... with a needle. This is why Coraline is my favorite movie

I grew up on this movie its so fascinating to see how such a desirable character was magestically sculpted and brought to life
This makes me wanna cry, the amount of painstaking detail and blood sweat and tears that so many people poured into this phenomenal film to make something so mesmerizing, and for it to be so underappreciated

I believe it's not underappreciated but maybe it's just because i can see me loving it haha
It's not underappreciated though. So many people love this and so many people will rewatch it until the day they die. It's an extremely popular movie that was a huge part of our childhood. It's a very important fragment of memory for us that we won't forget. There's literally millions of us that love this movie.
Same
This movie just give me a magical and weird vibe do anyone have it too?
That's the point of the movie
Ahh...yes

Yeah
It had this weird vibe I can't explain
It looks as if they put every talent that might not even look like a talent on the beginning together and build a movie. The people there have so much crazy talent and it is all needed and they work all together! This is incredible!
And this is what i call real talent....And they say Charli D'Amelio is talented😂

I rewatched the movie a lot of times and I need either a prequel or sequel
I always watch it when I'm eating 😂
This is all insane, but the sweater lady takes the cake. I'm a knitter, and that's insane. I find size four yarn too thin and fiddly to work with, and here she is knitting with thread and hair-thin needles and having her stitches be perfect. Holy shit, massive props. I love this movie so much
Not massive props, tiny props.

Wow...Those dolls LOOK so real! Plus those tiny items they made is just amazing as hell! :)

Honestly everything about this movie is impressive.
The amount of patients, time and thought put into every little detail and movement is amazing
I agree with everyone when they say "they shouldn't make a sequel" BUT a prequel?? Could be an option, i mean a prequel about the little ghost children(more specifically wybies grandmas sister) i can see it being a great project
(Edit: Thank you for 3k likes I'm happy to see other people agree with me on the idea, hope u all have a nice day💛🧡❤️)
OML YESSSSSSSS A MOVIE ABT HER
@zaria canizares yes and the beldam too
Laika's instagram page is filled with fans asking for a Coraline sequel 😂 so I completely agree for a prequel.
Yes
I want a sequel to Coraline about the other mother returning and getting revenge on Coraline
For the “other mother” transformation scene, did they have to make a different doll for each frame? If so, just....wow.
I loved this movie when it first came out, it's always been a favourite but after watching this I have a new found appreciation for this movie
I don't think so -- I'm pretty sure they used a puppet for that other mother. The rest of the characters' bodies were probably puppets too (multiple versions in case they broke), with changing hands and faces and hairstyles.
Having a different puppet for each pose for every character would require hundreds of thousands of puppets which would be absolutely impossible even for Laika
Aadya Sharma can’t be, we had a close up which made it look 💯 clay
@@aadyaandwe No, they mean for the transformation scene for the other mother. On that scene the other mother slowly turned from Coraline's mom to her scarier, original and taller form. For that particular scene they most likely had to use a different puppet for each frame
they probably fitted new facial plates for each frame, and switched the base at points from the disguise to halfway to the final form
2:48 he looks like a character himself from the movie

The amount of effort and skill put into this movie is ✨astounding✨

@@nachoswithextracheese8979 uhh normal 3d animation?
Anandi Abusa i dont think normal animation would be that choppy but ok
i knew it the first time i watched it im currently 14
I did cos I've already wached this vid I'm 14 too Caroline has been my fav movie for years now between that and Charlie and the chocolate factory 1970s version.
A true masterpiece.
I always appreciate the craftsmanship behind these films
The motion is so fluid for FREAKING STOP MOTION!
Most homemade stop motion is 24 frames per second, but this movie is probably 60 frames per second. Which means that you’re seeing 60 images per second. It’s amazing how good it looks but freakishly time-consuming.
Thats why we think it's an animated movie fck
When I was a kid, I cried watching this movie. Not because I was scared, but because the animation was absolutely gorgeous and I knew that even if I spent ten years of my life, I wouldn't be able to make something as beautiful and that genuinely upset me
Miss Weirdo i cry for that even now that i'm 17 everytime i watch it ahaha
sure that happened
I wish I could say the same, but I'm not that emotional
Did you watch Kubo as well? Tears were made
Suuure
This is true craftsmanship. I can see exactly how everything works but the finished product still looks like impossible magic.
I was born when this masterpiece was made, and i grew up with this amazing movie. And im dear grateful
