Does the Beldam HAVE to Eat? - The Fangirl Coraline Theory

- Thanks to a letter from Phoebe, I'm pondering whether the Other Mother has to eat. If not, why does the Beldam eat Cocoa Beetles from Zanzibar?

My first interpretation of the "ate up our lives" was that the Beldam kind of absorbed the kids futures. So maybe the Beldam needs the kids to take their future (one of the kids lives for the next 50 years, if the Beldam takes one of those kids she earns those years
What if the beetles act as an emergency food source? Her magic is running so low that to keep it going she eats the beetles just to get her through until she can feed off Coraline. It's not a statainable thing but she just needs to last until she can get a proper meal.
I’m pretty sure you’ve completely abandoned your original theory, but you said that “coraline is trapped either way” she just chose the harder alternative for the beldam. But then that doesn’t explain why the clock stops. Wouldn’t it be easier for the beldam to keep the clock going and make coraline stay blind in the other world?
She mentioned in her previous theories how beldam eats off of people's love either for themselves or for others . So if she kept Coraline in her lair against her will , she wouldn't love her hence beldam won't get any food source. But tricking her into living in a place with her "parents" whom she loves will do the trick
I think somewhere in in the 30-something video I stopped numbering the theories and said these are all just individualized now and not trying to stream into one big theory any more - just to explore some counter ideas, really. But, I think the blind Coraline would take less energy to keep trapped, so it's the Other Mother's preference, but either way I think Coraline would never be allowed to escape - so, even if it takes more energy to keep up the facade, it's worth it to have the meal for however many decade the Beldam can feed off Coraline.
@Roslynn P0384 The other mother
I think she ate them because she enjoyed the discomfort and possibly fear around eating the bugs.
I see it as how maybe coco was a luxury when she was a human especially how old she is coco would be a new import. I see it as similar to how despite Amathist from Steven Universe doesn't have to eat but she eats piza anyway because she enjoys it. Or maybe what ever species she is can only eat bugs similar to actual spiders because personally I don't think she actually eats the kids.
Hello the fangirl i remember coraline when i saw my sister watching it and i got in to coraline because of the theorizer and you
That's awesome! It's a really interesting movie to pick apart - I hope you get to watch it for Halloween season!
@@TheFangirlWatches me too its on CZcams
I even watch Coraline on Christmas!!!
@@kaijugirl1344 cool
I'm reminded of a saying, "Break bread, not heads". We humans are instinctively calmed by sharing food. The Beldam could be trying to invoke that by sharing a box of chocolates with Coraline.
Why beetles instead of actual chocolate? Maybe her power is giving out and she can't produce a box of chocolates. Or maybe she is still playing the Weird Adventure game that originally lured Coraline in or letting Coraline think she is.
Also, considering the Beldam is an illusionist, who's to say that anything was there to be eaten? Coraline didn't eat any.
The one dislike is the beldam
Lots of people are talking about Wybie’s hand, but in my theory I think that when he blows away the soul sand from his hand, he is indicating that the Beldam is getting weaker ( because she has to eat ), and he is saying that if he went with her it wouldn’t matter because he would still disappear since he is still the Beldam’s puppet, so if she does somehow die then he would also die with her because he is her creation.
I don’t know if you guys noticed this but when it started to become creepy ( after the button eyes suggestion ) the other father said that mother is resting and “her energy is our energy” ( or something like that ) and when he is saying that she is becoming weak, I’ve come to notice that they ( the puppets ) also started to look more sickly, which backs up my theory of Wybie’s hand, and when Coraline was trying to find the ghost eyes, she saw Wybie’s clothes hanging like a flag, which probably means that the other mother “got rid of him”.
Dear fangirl,
Have you ever heard of the midday mother?
It's an old demon from Germany. The midday mother waits in the fields and woods on the country in summer and autumn. They are also called rye mummies. Children who go for a walk outside at lunchtime instead of going home quickly or instead of staying at school are lured by the midday mother into the fields. A child caught by the midday mother will never be seen again. What is special about it is that the midday mother is not a classic witch. She looks like the perfect mother but the horror lurks under her mask. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roggenmuhme_(Korndämon)
In the article you will find a definition in German. Unfortunately I don't know any English site.
I can well imagine that the other mother is a lunch mother only in a house instead of in a field
Hhhmmmm
YESH PLEASE NEVER STOP THIS SERIES ! I LITERALLY SAW TIHS AND SCREAMED FROM EXCITEMENT , LUV YA .... MISS ?
oh my gosh you’re too sweet! I’m so glad you’re still excited for Coraline! :)
Can you please do a video about what if divatox from Power Rangers Turbo kidnapped Coraline as a baby and raised her to be evil 🦹♀️?
Kind of always thought that when she "ate" it was really more like she just passively absorbed the souls of the children. Almost like how some sea creatures filter feed.
In other words, she really needed to sustain herself by taking in their lives without necessarily eating their bodies.
Otherwise eating the beetle...I think it would be like eating a potato chip...it's a luxury, but overall kind of empty calories. As in she does it just cause instead of because she needed to.
It depends on how you view the eyes really. If the ghost kid's eyes are their souls, then they seem to be an energy source, but they never seem to significantly diminish their power level. So, even if the eyes/souls are helping keep the Beldam alive, there's some other element as to why she needs to take new children every few decades - which is how I initially came to the idea that she's feeding on their love, and that's why she pushes for them to love her so hard.
@@TheFangirlWatches Yeah; basically just how I see it is that she basically needs their love (alongside their life forces) to sustain herself. Eating actual food like the beetles is really more liking the taste of them rather than out of necessity.
But I feel that would then have to go into arguing just what species the Beldam is: I would think some variety of humanoid entities that are able to live potentially for centuries depending on the human souls they harness.
Happy Birthday Megan!!🥳 My birthday is tomorrow, I love that ours are so close! About the Beldam, what is also interesting is the fact she never drinks either. Humans can go weeks without food but only days without water. She definitely is not human but I wonder what kind of being can go without water or liquid. Hope you have a wonderful birthday!!
Awww, Happy Birthday tomorrow!
From the book (if you choose to take that as canon with the movie), the Other Mother says she had a mother of her own, but she only mentions it and moves on. There are so few clues for what she is! It’s so maddening!
About the bug. Another Red Herring the idea you mentioned about "I'll die without you!!" Also a red herring, to give her the idea that it's needed when it really isn't. I like this theory.
She was probably gaining some energy from the life force of the beetles. I always got the impression the black cat was a ghost.
Omg yas I love coraline and it's theories hehe ;)
Same
I'm glad people aren't "over" Coraline yet lol! Thanks for coming to watch!
The Other Mother still gives me nightmares.
No joke, she is a LOT scarier than any other movie monster!
@@TheFangirlWatches I suggested Olivia Wilde from *In Time* as Mel Jones Other Mother and The Beldam.
I always have dreams with her tho when she’s a spider when I’m in the dream 😬😳😰
It’s scary like I and strate up with her in the house by my self
lol I watched ur coriline vids a WHILE a go and I just found u in my recommended again
Really? I hate when CZcams hides me from people! >.
Maybe the reason she didn’t eat coraline the moment she walked in is because she might have the chance to run away. And if the buttons are blinding her, she wouldn’t be able to tell if the other mother was planning on eating her. And maybe all the food to get her full to where she fits a little bigger so a larger meal for the other mother and the souls behind the mirror are all that is left of the children that were eaten in the past
okay i love how the coraline doll is smiling wail stairing at you as in oh i see idk but i think its verry funny and the ways the dolls eyes look are just like she thinking oh uh huh
That's my name too. My name is also Phoebe but my name start with the "f" my name is spelled Febe.🙀🙊😁😂😇😯😮
The fact that your able to come up with so many theorys for this one little movie surprises me I didn't think there was so much I didn't know about it I thought it was all clear cut and to the point but since I found you I've come to question it a little more thanks so much for this your awesome and I can't wait to see what else you come up with
Hey, Fangirl, I have a question.
How did the Beldam know how Miss Spink and Miss Forcible looked like, when they were young? I know there are posters in their flat, but there is no poster were the young Miss Forcible has this ponytail, what she has in the other world.
Omg 😳
I never thought of that she should do a Theory on that
@@quirkycoffee6486 yeees
Your Coraline theories were what originally drew me to your channel back in 2016 so this video brought back so much nostalgia from the first time I watched your videos :)
This movie definitely made an impression on you, Fangirl. I have watched it a lot and do overanalyse, but you have clearly given it more thought.
My impression is that the Beldam does not need to eat ordinary food, but she still can. The rats are able to bring materials from the real world into her netherworld and she can build all kinds of things from it. The cocoa beetles from zanzibar were probably just chocolate enchanted to wriggle a bit (gross). Yes, she definitely has to sleep, or something very similar.
Is that an official Coraline doll?
The Beldam doesn't seem to eat the human food she gives Coraline and the other father but how can she get it without leaving the other world?
Also do you think that room behind the mirror the Beldam put Coraline and the ghost children in, is actually where she stores her them to get her energy. Because think about it: when she pushed Coraline into the mirror to go in the room since she wouldn't apologize for saying '"You aren't my mother!"', the Beldam told Coraline that she can come out if she learns to be a 'loving daughter' then Coraline tries to leave but can't. I think that room is more than thinking about your actions. If the child saw that the 'New better version of their mom' is a monster and now wants to leave, the Beldam captured them, put them in that room, and told them that she would get them out if they behave, which maybe how the ghost children got themselves in there in the first place after they got their buttons and cried because they wanted to go back to their *true* mom for comfort since they found out they were being kept away from their actual parents. Then the Beldam was about to go check back on the children, she might have heard them crying: "I want my real mommy" (If you remember what Huck Finn Jr. told Coraline: "But I remember my true mommy) and thought that wanting comfort from your real mom is another way of showing love, so she just kept them in there for fuel, to keep her alive until she can trap her next victim. (And since the kids couldn't get any food, they died and the Beldam went back to her ugly form).
That is how I theorize on what 'Ate up our lives' mean.
I was thinking the exact same thing.
@@mikaylawilliams7213 really? I guess I'm not alone there. Because since she left the kids there, I thought she did it as another way to store her energy.
@@lisettegarcia7013 The reason I believe this theory is because it makes sense when you think about the beldam's hot temper. You would think that the kids must have acted out like Coraline did to be put behind that mirror. Because if the beldam needed them as an energy source she could have just kept them in her world to do it. This is why we need a Coraline 2 to explain these things.
I wouldn't trust "fae food"
@@lisettegarcia7013 also noticed the puddle in the children bed?
One happy birthday you are amazing thank you so much for finding a way to still do these videos out of all the videos I’ve watched of yours which are almost all of them these are my favorite
a few years ago i watched one of your coraline theories. i looked it up today, and saw this video when i checked your channel for content.
i don't think she does actually consume the bugs because we see her eat the key to the other door in a very similar fashion and then also cough it up and its still intact. Maybe she has some kind of pocket where she just keeps stuff that she eats?
Theory: I think she feeds off energy in general, not just love or confidence/pride/whatever, but they just happen to be the most effective things. She can only feed on living things but she doesn't need to physically. Maybe she had earlier victims who she ate but she ended up bonding with one and saw she could feed for longer off having the kids love her then eating them. Maybe her earliest victims are the silhouette pictures we see but the reason they don't match the ghost kids is because there are no ghosts because she ate them whole, spirit and all. So she can eat the living bugs because they are live things giving off the energy she needs but other things just can't nourish her at all so there's no reason to do so.
I have watched basically every single one of your coraline videos like 3 times. At this point I can recite it by heart. Your theorize are amaizng! And I find it very intriguing
Why hello there, my favorite person in the world right now. 💕
I personally like the theory that she can Indeed eat normal food but she doesn't have to (much like how you explained with the gems) It's more of a yummy treat or snack but gives her no nutrition like how when humans eat food it gives our bodies energy while when she eats normal food it doesn't. Which is why she can feed off of a emotion or soul. Ether way I love your channel and theories I've been watching your channel for a long long time just finally decided to say something because the Beldam is my all time favorite character she's so interesting full of mystery ☺️
I’m so glad you are back at making coralline videos!
First off all Happy birthday to you🥳💙. And I really love all your videos and theories ❤. Big fan from IRAQ
Thank you so much Ammar!
I’m sure this has already been asked but since the other mothers hand still worked without being attached to her body and there are portals the size of cats, couldn’t the other mother just like chop off her hand before coraline came sent her hand through one of the cat sized portals unlocked the little door then kept the key. If she did this she wouldn’t have to worry about Coraline locking the door. It seems like she is perfectly capable of doing something like that so why doesn’t she?
(Sorry if you have already answered this I’ve watched most of ur videos but haven’t been able to get to all of them yet!)
Well in the climex she did turn into a spider and there is a theory going around that she is the same creature as Pennywise (from the movie IT)
She feeds on love, he feeds on fear.....and he too was a spider in his most truest form.
They draw a lot of parallels to each other and it's the best theory I've heard
omg i use to watch your videos and stoppped and then i saw this and now i’m obsessed with yoru videos again haha ty so much
Omg!!! Perfect timing?! I just start rewatching all of your coraline theory videos today. Spooky~~~
Yes! I was just watching through your coraline videos and then you upload a new one!
Oh woah, that's good timing! Thanks for watching! 💕
Coraline is my daughter and my most favorite movie. We've seen it so many times. We like to say the lines as they play (it can be really annoying for other people to watch with us unless they enjoy saying the lines too 😆)
I'm so glad you cover this movie because we're love ALL content related to Coraline 😍
oh my gosh! i remember when i used to watch your videos *religiously*
i rewatched coraline yesterday and my sisters making me watch it again on her birthday(halloween)
Tell your sister happy birthday! And I’m glad you found your way back to this channel, and that maybe you’ll find some more videos to like again.
This story SO reminds me of the Baba Yaga, a Russian (Slavic) crone goddess witch who eats people, not just children. There is also a little doll in Baba Yaga but it is the main character Vasalisa's intuition and protectress. Youth and beauty is something witches in fairy tales are so captivated to snatch and devour.
LOVING these videos once again, Megan! 💀🖤
Ok, what I think with the Beatles is that they're like an energy boost. Like, how we have foods that boost our energy, she might have those too. Like she might have souls or energy inside the food itself because she's unable to feed off any of Coraline's love or anything else because she's being stubborn and demanding that she can go home with her parents. Idk, that's just a theory.
I'm always impressed with how lovely your singing voice is.
Do you remember a past theory about the towns people being in the pink palace limbo? How they walked in and walked back out of a hole the other mother made? What if she ate them and was trying to do the same to Coraline but she escaped before she could do her routine. Like how she is always making these big meals? I can't remember what its from but I remember this character from a movie that always made other characters eat constantly, even if the characters weren't hungry, just to fatten them up so that character can eat. What if the Beldam is doing the same to Coraline. Always making these big meals to make her eat just so she can be fattened up for when the beldam can have Coraline for a meal. She could be doing that for everyone who has ever walked into the limbo!
MAKES since
Sense?
Makes sense
Happy Birthday hope it has been a really wonderful day minus all the craziness going on and always enjoy your videos. Keep up great work! - Quinn
Happy birthday Megan (I hope to God that I spelled it correctly)! Love your theories, especially the Coraline ones. I totally love your radiant ombre hair and your lovely personality! Stay safe and sane out in these crazy streets!
Coraline is my favorite movie since ive first watched it, and ive been watching it almost every moth for over 10 yerassss! I found some of your theories a while ago and i just watched a big compilation of them. I just need to say, I think you have the best theories for this universe and i cannot get enough of them! Anyways, love it, 10/10
Oh my gosh thank you so much! And WOW! I think you’ve seen Coraline more times than even I have! 0.o Do you quote it in your sleep yet? Because apparently I do that sometimes, lol!
@@TheFangirlWatches hahahaha YES! I feel like I could quote the entire movie, awake or asleep! I’ve just subscribed to you because even though I found your channel a while ago and watched some of the videos, CZcams stopped recommending them to me and I forgot the name of the channel! But finally, ✨ we meet again ✨
Even though Coraline is a kids horror movie, it still manages to creep me out with the unsettling story, settings and implications.
I am soooooo glad your still posting coraline
I try to give the people what they want! lol
Surely this debunks your previous limbo pink pallace theory since if I rember Mel at the end drinks the drink and is shown eating food through out the film wich would kind of go against the idea The Beldam possess Mel
I've not watched your channel in year's but I guess I'm still subscriber since I just got a notification for this video
I think the Beldam eats the living bugs infront of coraline to scare her. Everything about this scene is purposfully designed by the Beldam to make coraline uncomfortable. The moving bugs furniture, eating living bugs etc. All this to make Coraline want to leave the "other world" which of course in your theory just draws her into the deeper version of the other world, that just looks like the real world. Just like the Beldam planned it all along.
Maybe the cocoa beetles themselves are actually souls of even older victims she lured there and she transformed them into tasty morsels, I had the same theory for Ursula the sea witch. Those prawns she snacks on? They could just be normal sea critters. But what if they were mermaids who couldn't follow up their bargain? Like you say, theories are more fun!
It's (or was) you're birthday!? Happy Birthday miss Megan! I pray you're having a nice November. And that your fam is healthy in your house
Here's a question I want to know in the film Wybie actually did say that his Grandma Miss Lovat never let's people with children move into the Pink Palace so it does make me wonder why she lets the Jones' move in when they have a kid
Perhaps they‘re magic bugs? I mean, it’d make a little sense. Eat some magic bugs to recharge.
Literary just started to watch you the day came out. The coraline is my favorite and I absolutely LOVE them! I have been watching you since the morning!!!💖💕❤❣💌💗
Well, what good timing! And welcome to the FANily!
I've been obsessing over this movie as of late and did you see the deleted scenes? In one scene where Coraline sets the ghost children free. They say the beldam needs Coraline's life.
Could you consider maybe theorizing on the theoririzers theory where the other world takes an accrual form and the beldam not being in full control of the other world?
Why does the other mothers know how to cure the poison oak rash? the mud is really out of her world and means that she could cure any disease. For example, if one of the children had cancer or something dangerous could she heal it in exchange for love?
What can the mud do?
Hmmm.... Maybe she just feeds on life? Like, bugs have short life cycles, so just eating them straight up would make sense, but humans live a long time, so maybe in just keeping them with her she can 'feed' off of their energy or something like that? Idk.
No, we just can’t stop suggesting Coraline videos lol 😂
hello I'm a huge fan of your videos especially the Coraline ones and I was wondering if you could answer a question for me in the opening scene when the beldam is ''making'' the Coraline doll she takes out the buttons from Mrs. Lovetts doll and meticulously picks one set specifically like that set was meant just for the Coraline doll and it's almost like each could be made for one child's doll alone and she has a lot of buttons so does that mean she could potentially have tons of dolls made in the future.
Another Coraline video, sweet! Love all your theories on this topic, I'm so glad fans are asking more questions and keeping the theories coming 😉 I gotta get to work, have a great week girl 🙂 Cheers
Omgosh, and Happy birthday!! Have fun!
Thank Adrian! Have a good day at work!
I have an idea what the other world and the pink palace/Coralines house could be. Think of it as a hotel elevator . Coraline would take the elevator/hidden up down to the other world/a different floor then when she tried to “escape “ she go up the elevator, stop at a floor and run. But, the floor wouldn’t be the lobby/exit. It would be the basement so the other mother could lock the lobby door like as if breaking the button to press and go there aka taking the key and throwing it in a hole . I hope this makes sense ^^
Coraline is the next beldam but didn't want to hurt anyone. To accomplish this she had to take multiple "victums" at once to be a benevelant beldam (I put "victum" in quotes because many wouldn't complain about what it entails as they get to be immortal, stay young forever, and no buttons). She developed time loops to make them immortal and feeds off of their energy for forever. Sound familiar?
Pheobe is so well spoken for only being 10 years old
She really, really is!
🥳🎂 🎁 🎈🎉🎀HAPPY BIRTHDAY!🎀🎉🎈🎁🎂🥳 Thank you for another Coraline video to add to that playlist, I listen to it once to twice a month for fun 🤗
omg Denise you deserve a medal for listening to me ramble on that often!
happy brithday & mreey chrismas you sweet
I've never watched Caroline but I really want to watch it now!
It is sooooooo neat - you should definitely make time to watch it!
I have a theory. Perhaps the food that beldam gave to Coraline was other thing and it would be something dead or customized food that was poisoned killing Coraline slow, and I think she eats bugs because if you saw the last ravens when Coraline beat the beldam ad scaping from the other house the beldam became a spider 🕷️ with eight legs ....
Oh my god your singing voice is amazing!!
Hi I am maybe a little bit late but I might test some things out and maybe do a challenge (testing of course) where a female sim is playing of the beldam part and the person needs to change every single time a new kid comes in. You are playing the role of the beldam. Might be interesting to do so right. My material to test this out is the sims 4 because let’s be real I am loving the sims 4 and I am creative with some stuff. So yeah have a nice day Kah
I think your right it’s a treat but not her main source of sustenance.
I'm just going to say that I missed you and your amazing Coraline vids! Love your hair too. It's so beautiful! ❤️💙💛💚💜♥️🌈🌠😂😍✨✨
Awwww thank you so much Jada! I have been trickling out Coraline videos here and there though (last one was in August), so I hope the algorithm isn’t hiding stuff you might want to see! But I’m so glad you’re here now!
@@TheFangirlWatches I love your vids and it's relaxing for me when I have a bad day.
It could be that the beetles were what they are portrayed as, candy! Not sustaining or nursting in the long run but provides a temporary energy boost. The beldam can eat living things but the energy gained from that isnt close to what she needs so she pours all of.her energy into one long sustaining prey item. If you think about it humans eat a LOT of energy and produce a HECK of a lot of energy as they grow. It could be that she waits until the age of which they stop producing more energy than she can provide to eat them. After all the food seems easy enough to conjure.
I do think the beetles were just a treat, it’s supported by the chocolate box because it shows it’s not used for nutritional value but maybe just for enjoyment? Bit random but maybe they put coralline in bed so when she woke up and told her parents what happened they’d just think it was a dream as she’ll mention how she then woke up?
I've always thought it's possible The Other Mother genuinely felt a motherly connection to Coraline, and didn't **only** want to steal her soul. It's possible that if Coraline allowed buttons to be sewn on her eyes, she would be turned into another puppet- much like The Other Father. And The Other Mother would have a one-sided love for Coraline as a mother/daughter relationship
I thnk the beatles might be closer to actual sweets than one might think.
Think of it like this: We humans can eat chocolate and like the taste, but ONLY eating chocolate would never be enough to stay alive.
So this might be the same for the Beldam. Everything that we concider food might just sweets/snaks for her. tasty but not enough to stay alive.
Ooh I like this idea!
The other mother needs coraline to be pushed over the edge from " This is weird. I can't get home but maybe the other mother will help" to " the other mother freaks me out and I am scared"
The bug chair n furniture and the eating of the beetles were the first scare tactic by the other mother to freak out coraline especially as she hates bugs (especially spiders). It's the first unatural thing she has done that humans don't normally do even before her appearance changes. I agree with you that the bedlam doesn't need to eat for sustenance however and keeping in mind that the ghost kids are her fabrication, we can't take "ate up our lives" at face value.
Just my thought😊 Love your videos btw❤️❤️❤️
First time I watched this was when it came out on dvd when I was 8.
I always wondered why the Beldam didn't just keep trying to lure her.
She acted too quickly. A few days isnt enough time to build trust.
The movie coraline sorta reminds me of a horror movie called jack in the box (I think that’s what it’s called) it’s mainly how the person get it’s power and how they have a time limit for it. So like with the other mother I was wondering if it’s like considering what soul/energy she gets then it adds on to the time she’s alive. Like the kids and other adults, if they’re dead it would add more time like a human is 10 years added and if it’s animal then like 5 years. Also when Wybie was explaining the grandmas twin story the cat seemed to be listening and very focused and as soon as the cat jumps onto wybies shoulder the grandma calls him in the middle of wybie speaking. Also when the mom told coraline about how she’s trying to protect her. What if when coraline fell asleep that night her parents found her in the wall talking to “herself” or asleep so they panicked and brought her to her bed then Locked up the wall¿ at the end of the movie the cat still teleported again after they had gotten rid of the key. If they shut the door and locked it, it would’ve probably stopped other ways to get back to that world. So the cat seems to probably be able to open portals to the other world when he wants. Idk if you’ve already went over these things, these are just random things I’ve noticed after watching the movie and I enjoy the way you explain theories
me hearing phobes note* same phobe
there's a figure that passes through the window at one point of the movie in the other world. I think it's after coraline's mom leaves for groceries and coraline goes to the other world
Ah yes the 1000th coraline video I'll never get tired of these Also happy birthday if it is 😁
Happy BIRTHDAY!!!
This is why i love your video's there so wonderful and always something new to learn
I’d like to think I at least help keep some boredom at bay, lol. Thanks for always coming JP!
@@TheFangirlWatches your welcome and you are a joy to watch
That was really nice of the ten year old girl. The Beldam is one of those beings that can adapt into any world she's in. Those coco bettles shows that she can eat, but not the children. I have a litlle theory if you want to call it. That when she sows buttons in the eyes they become part of the other world.
Happy birthday Meghan! Wonderful theory again! I think she feeds off life forces but life forces that cannot show her love do not provide as much energy as those that do. I believe that's why she never went after the cat because she doesn't want to waste her limited energy on something that she knows will not love her naively like a child.
Do you know those Loopsy dolls I think they’re beast on Coraline because they do have button capitalize
Roses are red, Violets are blue, I love Coraline and I know you do too
Hey could u explain the symbols like the spiral that comes up multiple times ?
Hello :) I think Barbie movies are the perfect material for theories! I have my own theories on Barbie and the Nutcracker. Some topics I think would be interesting dissecting: what is Partenia really? How is it connected to the real world? Is Clara's mother from Partenia (since Clara is the sugar plum fairy)? Is Elizabeth Drosselmeyer the King's lover (and possibly Eric's mother)?
I have a question how did the beldam get her button eyes did she have a mother did her mother placed the button eyes on her I dont understand and why does she need coraline to survive?? 😕
New sub here, am happy I stumbled across your channel.
Hey, welcome to The FANily! There’s definitely a ton of Coraline videos here, if you like those, and lots of other movies/shows being covered too! :)

I'm obssessed with Coraline again....been watching it a lot this month. I got a question? How old is the Beldam if the house is only 150 years old.
My guess is that she’s a nearly ageless goddess. I’m not sure if you saw my KuboLine video, but I went into some more ideas on the Beldam there that I still really like.
I didn’t see this one. So glad when I did.
Rewatching these while procrastinating over my degree and have just had a thought: how exactly did the beldam manage to attain cocoa beatles from Zanzibar? These don't seem like part of her own creation but something she has acquired. Indeed, the delivery of that line really seems to revel in the "exoticism" of Zanzibar -- is the reach of her power MUCH further geographically than we have ever imagined before?! How many portals are there on Earth and are the rats and/or the cat running errands for her in multiple places by using them?! Would love to hear other people's thoughts...
