As a kid I always thought Coraline's mom was being harsh not giving her the gloves, but if you notice the price on them, they're almost $25. Makes a lot more sense why the mom would refuse, especially if she already has to buy all new uniforms.

When a mushroom spore lands in a suitable location, the underground hyphae (fungus roots) grow out evenly in all directions. As the fungus grows and ages, the oldest parts in the center of the mat die, creating a circle. When the fungus produces its mushrooms - the fruiting bodies - they appear aboveground in a ring

This plays out like a modern fairy tale. It has those dark themes that fairy tales used to have, with some of the classic tropes, It just plays out in a modern setting. There are some things that aren't crystal clear and not logical, but still work to make the story feel mysterious and whimsical. Definitely one of my favorite animated films.

If anyone's actually curious, the reason mushrooms grow in a circle is the fungi spores land somewhere and the roots take hold underground and grow in all directions. The circle forms when the newest mushrooms grow and the oldest parts in the middle die creating a circle

Wait, they aired this on Cartoon Network?

The Other Father is the mvp of this movie. Throughout his time on screen, he's subtly warning Coraline about the Beldam. Even helping her get the first ghost eye in the end.

Your reactions are so natural. Feels like I'm watching it with my friend. Thank you for not giving fake reactions.

So basically the other mother is the bedlam. By implanting the buttons in the eyes of the children she is essentially able to eat their “lives” and uses that for sustenance. I’m the beginning of the movie you saw how the other mother changed the doll from looking like the old lady’s sister to coralline. The other mother is basically a type of spider who lives in her own pocket dimension. The energy from the other childrens eyes is what powers the world and what she manipulates in order to change things however she pleases, as you saw when she finally reveals her true form, all of the other stuff like the benches, chairs etc are just bugs she’s captured and which she can polymorph into less insecty stuff. This is also why when coralline grabs each eye the world in that area basically falls apart as that eye is no longer powering that part of the other mothers dimension. The real mother has a neck brace from the car accident that happened a while back, whereas the other mothers outfit has a high neck attachment which is more stylish. The other mother can create living dolls like the other father and the other wybie but these are at least somewhat more independent in thought and already are aware of the malicious intent of the other mother but for the most part are controlled by her, however that control is not 100% of the time which is why the other wybie attempts to help coraline initially escape as well as the other father saying “sorry the other mother is making me.” There are a few concepts/meanings you could say with this movie, “be careful what you wish for”, “if something is too good to be true, it probably is” or “you don’t know what you have until it’s gone,” Those are a few of the ones I thought of. All in all it’s a very memorable albeit scary movie. Like one of the few movies that legit had me freaked out for about a week after watching it. This is in my opinion a good scary movie because unlike most scary movies typically out in the theaters it doesn’t rely on blood/gruesome scenes, jump scares or overtly grotesque monsters to create the fear, it’s the whole ambience of the other dimension and the other mother. It’s TOO perfect, that sense that there has to be a catch. And I know for a fact that the other mother triggers the phenomenon known as “the uncanny valley” the unsettling feeling we get when we look at something that appears human but isn’t (think the button eyes). The Uncanny valley effect automatically creeps us as people out. That concept is interesting on its own and is worth a quick look into online when you get a chance. But finishing thoughts, it’s a great movie and I loved your reaction. I found your channel from your Arcane reaction so I’m looking forward to more of your reactions on that series. Keep up the great reactions!

A bit off topic from the movie, but as a bit of a long time viewer, it truly has been incredible seeing you find yourself and blossom. Even from the other side of the screen where we dont know really that much about each other, it truly is so awesome to see you go through such a self-discovering journey just like I am right now. Love the commentary and keep up the great work!!!!

Saw this movie in the military, and it kinda freaked me out. It gave me memories of a dream I used to have when I was like 4 or 6. We had this closet I swear had a little door. The lead to a nothing wall. I rember I used to sneak down there and go through it and I had the perfect family as well we're very poor. And everytime I woke up. I was sad I wasn't there. Now they didn't have button eyes. But their eyes were always black. I told my dad about the dreams about five days in I believe because they were kinda getting upset with my indecisiveness if I remeber right. And he just looked freaked out and said never to go back. So I didn't. So now being a spiritualist and watching it again when I became one. Gave me whole different kind of shiver. To the core.

I saw this in 3d in a cinema and it's one of only two 3d movies that genuinly made my jaw drop (especially the garden scene).. it was outstanding... even watching on TV now, its a brilliant piece of work, perfect "fable" type story, gorgeous animation and just creepy enough to scare kids a little (and me)... one of my top 5 animation movies only topped by some of pixars finest...

Thank you for reacting to this classic! I still remember watching this in the theaters with my little sister; we were fans of "Nightmare before Christmas" so this was right up our alley! I'm glad more people are watching it because honestly, it's one of the best animated children's horror movies.

Everything becomes a lot scarier when you have the full context. Even the lyrics of the dad’s song lyrics. “When she comes around exploring, mother and I will never ever make it boring OUR EYES WILL BE ON CORALINE!” I don’t think everyone depressed. I think the parents finances are going through some financial hardships and have to make some downgrades and double down on their work. It would explain a lot of thing. Their moving into a third of a house and judging by her ignorance about poison oak and her reaction to the bugs I’d say this place isn’t an upgrade from their old home. It explains their mood, their focus being on work, and them not buying nonessential items like gloves. Also it explains Coralines behavior. If they were always like this she wouldn’t be trying so hard to get their attention and so disappointed when it doesn’t work. A child that had always been neglected would be more closed of and resigned by now.

Mr. Bobinsky is wearing a Russian Medal given to the Liquidators from the Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster. People say that’s why he’s blue. Hope you’re having a wonderful night with the fam❤️

The two older women remind me a lot of the British drag queens Hinge and Bracket. Unrelated to those two, this seems very much a 2008-aftermath movie. The financial struggles of Coraline's family bubbling beneath the surface of a kind of fairy tale. Struggles with food and housing and work in a period of declining living standards. The whole thing with Coraline's mum getting snappy with Coraline over the gloves also looks very much like a mother too embarrassed to say she can't afford them because she isn't used to saying no to small things.

My family moved to this big house in the country back when I was 10, 2 acres of land on both sides, neighbors spread out and pitch black at night. I saw way too may dark corners in that house when we first moved in, and this movie reminds me of that whenever I watch it. Of course there were no portals to other dimensions, button eyes doppelganger parents or singing mice, the mice were very much not of rhe musical variety, unfortunately. In fact the scariest thing I remember was when I encountered a Sasquatch, or "Wood Ape"

There is a ton of symbolism: - The eyes are the windows to the soul. She's taking their eyes, so she's taking their ... - On the cake when Coraline first comes and it says welcome home there are two loops in the O. When there are 2 loops in an O in cursive it means it's a lie (similar to the crossing of the fingers in the wedding picture in The Truman Show) - The portraits of the 3 ghost children are on the wall in the living room - The Other Mother is modeled after a spider, a Black widow to be specific. Black Widows eat their young: "Maybe she just wants something to eat", "Mother's don't eat daughters...do they?" They also have webs so perilous for their male mates to traverse that many don't even make it and are killed that way; we can clearly see this in the Other Mother's character. - There is a lot of eye symbolism and specifically one eye and third eye symbolism: The buttons and eyes in general, Ms. Spinks hat, the children covering only one of their eyes when they ask Coraline to free them, the seeing stone (which is also triangular or pyramid shaped), when the Other Mother taps one eye and vanishes, there's just a lot -And yes you caught it about the correlation between the well and the door ! The scary part of that is..well that means that they just sent the key as well as her hand right back to her and they didn't end anything (though she did still free the souls of the ghost children from their hellish purgatory) - I also love the commentary on how neither parent likes to garden but they have to write about gardening to make a living...kind of how influencers stage things to portray a certain life that also isn't reality. And the other world is a continuation of that symbolism of facade vs. reality. Other fun facts: - Neil Gaiman confirmed that in the novel Ms Spink and Forcible are indeed a couple, they kept it ambiguous for the movie - Bobinsky's skin is blue because he was part of the Chernobyl cleanup efforts, he also wears his medal for this - Yes the mother is wearing a neck brace you're right it's not a fashion statement. It is implied that Coraline inadvertenly did something to get them into a car accident. The implication is that the cost of this accident (medical bills, paying for a new car, insurance premiums, the mother's inability to work and therefore have 2 incomes) affected their current financial situation heavily. Her mom is still in pain and recovering from the accident but can't even rest because she has to get back to work so urgently to try to make up for the hole they're now in. If you pay attention you can also see that even though she tries not to emotionally she does kind of blame Coraline for the accident, her injury and their current life situation. - The doll in the utmost opening scene is Wybie's grandmother's taken twin sister. Like Wybie said his grandmother has not allowed people with children to lodge there since then which is why the last doll was her and then it is changed to Coraline, the next child in a long time to come.

What a Classic!!! Absolutely love that you reacted to this Hun. So sweet and lovely you are. 🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Addressing 2 questions: 1) coralline’s new house is in Oregon 2) the movie came out in 2009 so right after the financial collapse. The book was written before that obviously but the movies timing was perfect

It’s almost like once Coraline knew about the other world’s evils, that’s when it became creepy instead of magical

Coraline is really the perfect introduction for kids into the horror genre in my opinion, and it's one of my fav movies

besides the amazing commentary/reaction. ur outfits and hair are just always on point, love it !

I’m not much for stop motion ( even though it is an impressive form of animation I will say that), but this film was an exception to that, it’s really smooth and the art style, the story, and the music just all comes together perfectly. One of my favorite movies.

Hey thank you for the spring water heads up, my best friend recently moved near Portland and she appreciated the share! btw super random fact, the oldest living plant is the creosote bush which grows in a circle like mushrooms. I think I remember reading that circular multi organism growth structure is one of those super strong convergent evolution things. That or fairies have circular feet and leave very unique footprints lol creosote is one of those super fun topics to research and dig into. Historic and beautiful and smells like the rain when crushed or wet.

Wybie's grandma's sister was the little Black girl ghost yes! If you rewatch the intro you'll see the Other Mother using the doll of Wybie's great aunt and turning it into Coraline.

mushroom rings are fruiting bodies all growing from one central underground root. In ye olden times, they were called fairy rings, and marked the spot where fairies danced. Sometimes you could catch the fairies dancing, but if you joined in, you might wake up to find a hundred years had passed.

i remember watching this in 3D in theatres, still one of the better 3D films i seen, movie is really good too.

Fun fact: the lyrics in the music for coraline are entirely gibberish sang by a childrens choir. For example the lyrics for when she is exploring the house at the start : Suli au len ()Le je le fanilé jenti ()Amen zun don ()Antwo daltan ()Felice se li mue ()Ovinue le ()Delime me suva ()Ovinue le. Entirely written to sound interesting and build the right atmosphere but makes no sense in any language. They do this for multiple sountrack songs. I could gush about this movie for hours, it is so meticulous and beautiful.

I was fortunate enough to see this movie in 3D. Normally I hate 3D, but for stop motion you are seeing actual objects and the effect is breathtaking, the tunnel expanding, the garden, it all looked so real. I think this movie is the dark side of escapism and wish fulfillment. The Beldam uses the wishes and dreams of kids to ensnare and kill them. Coraline luckily learns that the world she offers is too good to be true. I don't really even think that the adults have changed at the end of the movie. I think we just see the parents at a really low point in their lives and by the end they have coped with it and realized that they have been neglecting to show proper love to their daughter. It's a very mundane tale outside of Beldam's trap, just parents being parents in the "real world". And you nailed it with the Beldam also being a cautionary tale for adults. She is a mother who thinks only of what her daughter can do for her and wants everyone to see the way she does (with button eyes). It's why so many parents are creeped out by this book. When she screams, "come back. I can't live without you!" it''s pretty much addressed spot on.

I really wasn't expecting this!!!!! But thank the stars that this reaction is happening!!!!!!

One thing I really like about this movie is about how it parallels child predation kind of perfectly. Like, predators will lovebomb their victims like crazy, gain their trust by using their unfortunate life situations, and when something eventually comes up that the child finally sees a red flag in or is uncomfortable with doing (in this case, the buttons), the predator will continue to lay the pressure and manipulation on thick until they get what they want. (Obviously not every case is exactly like this, but it is very commonly how it plays out. I do wonder if such a parallel was intentional by the story writers, it really feels like it was, at least to some degree?)

Yay I'm so excited! This movie is hella creepy but really good!

I honestly love your style of reacting, hope you never have to feel like you need to defend it. Feels honest.

There is lots of theories around this movie. But you pointed out the paralleles between the well and the tunnel, and there are theories out there that leads to the conclusion of the well being the original entrance to the other world. Wybie said to Coraline when introducing the well that once you're at the bottom you can see stars. And what only time of the day we see in the otherworld even when Coraline enters it during the day when her mother left to go shop ? Nightime. Also this leads to other theories about the Beldam falling into it before she became the way she is now.

This movie is soooo good! I went to see it with my mother the night when it came out in theatre’s, great memory.

I’m sure a lot of people have answered why some mushrooms grow in a ring but it’s because they are one plant and that’s why they act as a whole. You should check out Pans Labyrinth if you haven’t before.

I was always a kid that got scared by the littlest things in movies, but for some reason I really enjoyed this one. Idk if it was the atmosphere or the animation or what, but I was just completely immersed immediately and the scare factor didn’t take me out of it at all. I really love it

My friend didn't so much because it's pretty different from the book, and as much as I'm a fan of Neil Gaiman, I like this movie for what it is as much as I like the book for what it is. Also, totally get the confusion about this and Nightmare Before Christmas both being Tim Burton projects. They actually both do have the same director, Henry Sellick, whereas Tim Burton produced Nightmare but had nothing to do with this. Also it just has that same feel either way. And either way, they're both great.

Her parents aren’t intentionally bad parents, they just got overwhelmed by the pressure of work and forgot they still need to be there for her. Have you seen Spirited away? Another story of a girl about this age, moving to a new place who has to learn independence and to overcome her fears to save her parents.

It was directed by Henry Selick, who also directed Nightmare Before Christmas!

Hello :) And welcome back

I was obsessed with this movie as a teen, and first read the book in the children's literature module during my first year at uni. We read it alongside a poem by John Keats, 'La Belle Dame sans Merci'. I can't remember if/how much Neil Gaiman (and Henry Selick) took direct inspiration from the poem, but I love the nod to it by having the Other Mother's title be the "Beldam". The full poem: O what can ail thee, knight-at-arms, Alone and palely loitering? The sedge has withered from the lake, And no birds sing. O what can ail thee, knight-at-arms, So haggard and so woe-begone? The squirrel’s granary is full, And the harvest’s done. I see a lily on thy brow, With anguish moist and fever-dew, And on thy cheeks a fading rose Fast withereth too. I met a lady in the meads, Full beautiful-a faery’s child, Her hair was long, her foot was light, And her eyes were wild. I made a garland for her head, And bracelets too, and fragrant zone; She looked at me as she did love, And made sweet moan I set her on my pacing steed, And nothing else saw all day long, For sidelong would she bend, and sing A faery’s song. She found me roots of relish sweet, And honey wild, and manna-dew, And sure in language strange she said- 'I love thee true’. She took me to her Elfin grot, And there she wept and sighed full sore, And there I shut her wild wild eyes With kisses four. And there she lullèd me asleep, And there I dreamed-Ah! woe betide!- The latest dream I ever dreamt On the cold hill side. I saw pale kings and princes too, Pale warriors, death-pale were they all; They cried-‘La Belle Dame sans Merci Thee hath in thrall!’ I saw their starved lips in the gloam, With horrid warning gapèd wide, And I awoke and found me here, On the cold hill’s side. And this is why I sojourn here, Alone and palely loitering, Though the sedge is withered from the lake, And no birds sing.

Not the first time :00 You will love it 🙌💞 I love this movie as a kid 😁

Russian fairytales are dark as hell. Would be cool to see a movie tackle some of those

My favorite childhood movie

Yes her neck brace is a fashion choice 😂😂.

You should watch Corpse Bride too, is my favorite alongside Coraline.

A little fact on this, this movie was originally based on a book. The book was made by Neil Gaiman, he did give a warning that this book wasn’t a usually curious girl or fun adventure like others. He made this book to scare children, because he said that at a certain age some children like being scared or like the thrill of it. So even though this is in the category of “children books” this is a scary childhood book. Neil is known to always go and target any kids at any ages. Another thing is that it should have been known that this movie was going to be quite “scary” or “intimidating for children”. Especially since Henry Selick created the classic Nightmare Before Christmas, a movie that also has some aspects of fright. I forgot who talked about this, but someone who worked on Coraline (director or staff) said that it was “bullshit” since several books that had scary moments were still based as “not scary” and “very cute”. An example that that person made was Where The Wild Things Are. The book even if it has very scary moments both book and movie, it is still considered as fun and good for children. At this point it is up to the parent to decide on what age it should be targeted to and if they would let their children watch it. To simply say both Neil and Henry made Coraline for all ages.

They used to call those mushrooms in a circle "fairy Circles" or "Elf Circles". Depending on religious belief they can range from harmful or a sign of good luck!

I love the music too! It was all gibberish but intended to sounded French. And Henry Selick directed both this and Nightmare Before Christmas, so nice eye! He's the master of stop motion (though Laika is right there with him; you should check out Kubo and the Two Strings sometime).

You should watch The Conjuring,1982 Poltergiest and The Exorcist.

"why can't she get those gloves?" they're 25 bucks! the family seems to be struggling with money, as seen with the single dollar tip and weird goulash of a dinner, along with how they only have condiments in the fridge, so an unnecessary 25 dollar expense is too much for mom but seems unfair to coraline. edit: i think you are confused about wybie's grandma. her sister was taken by the beldam when they were children, and you can see her ghost as the little girl with braids. she kept the doll so that the beldam couldn't spy on anyone else and as a reminder of her sister, and didn't let people with kids stay in the pink palace until coraline's family. i think she thought it had died from lack of food, but it hadn't. as for what happened to her, they told you- she went through the door, allowed the beldam to sew buttons into her eyes, and ate up her life.

Coraline is such a classic I love children horror movies, I love film in general movies and shows... horror is probably my least favorite genre bit also has some of my favorite movies of all time the genre is just iver saturated when it's the conjuring type movie where it's just loud sound effects and jump scares but truly great horror like Coraline or silence of the lambs is truly creepy and tells such an amazing story and children's horror can't rely on gore so the story has to be perfect and Coraline is a perfect example of this it's truly art... love your reactions keep up the good work
