OK i was that book worm teachers pet kid that actually READ the book before it came out which was WAY scarier than the movie at some parts but then ... i finally watched this when it first came out, we had room mates, and a creepy small door next to the laundry room was upstairs behind MY bedroom and it was like empty weir little hole of space with a golden small knob, u literally would have to crawl into it and it was just spider/cobb webbs and nightmare fuel to ME even MORE SO after watching this movie. xD i was SCARED every night but i still love this movie. Theres something about putting it into pictures that makes things scarier than when u read them.

My daughter brought this book home from the school library in 3rd grade....I flipped through it (as I always did with their books) and the illustrations were dark as heck, so I was like "Honey, are you sure you want to read this?" She said she didn't think the pictures were scary. I sat down and read the entire book in one sitting and went over lots of stuff with her as she came to it in the book. She absolutely LOVED this book. When the movie came out, she was about 14, I think, and it was a given that we'd go see it. Sometimes kids surprise you. I remember my Mom freaking out about some of my books too...I just enjoyed horror stories from a young age.

The funny story is...this book almost wasn't published. The editor thought it was too scary for kids, so the author asked him to get his own kids opinion on it. Kid was all for it, so the book ended up finished and published. Turns out, the kid was terrified, but wanted to know what happened next so didn't say anything.

The book is terrifying and I absolutely loved it when I read it in 4th grade.

I always found it so interesting how they managed to make us understand more of Coraline's mindset without making her parents bad. They seem neglectful and mean because we are seeing them in a small, very stressful moment in time. They've just moved across the country and the mother was in a serious car accident. So on top of the normal stress of moving house and an intense work deadline, they're likely dealing with medical bills and for the mom, chronic pain issues. It's not like this all the time, but it's enough right now to make Coraline feel hurt and ignore her instincts regarding the other world because like us, she can't see the big picture.

I got a similar experience about movie ''the ring'', I was 6 when ı watched it with my parents, actually ı was the one who picked the movie in a cd store and they went for it and bought it. Later that day we watched the movie and I was scared as hell, we were watching thorugh a big CRT tv and with the plot of the movie, tv itself made de experience highly immersive. Then same day at ne night, I couldnt sleep on my own and went to my parents bedroom and curled up to my mothers side. My dad was still awake at the moment and he planned a prank that traumatize me lol. He sneaked into the bedroom, crawled from the floor, approached the bed, then grabbed my leg from under the blanket and pulled it... Sometimes, I still wake up with the feeling of being pulled or hold.

my personal theory about the parents is that they probably came home and saw that coraline was missing, and then they saw the little door was left open and maybe went in to try and find her, which is how they got captured. and then the beldam made the doll look like the parents as a way to taunt coraline and lure her back to the other world.

Hmmm I prefer the theory where Coraline actually never left the other world after entering it the first time. There's probably a few videos about it on KZread, I'd recommend them!! My personal theory is that maybe Coraline entered the other world somehow even before that. Remember how her mother immediately knew which key to pick for the little door? It doesn't make sense. The key looks new compared to all of the other ones and it SHOULD have been rusty considering the door has been bricked up for ages. Either her mom was compelled to open the door or well... Coraline was already gone. I also don't think she ever returned considering the garden still looks like her at the end of the movie.

"And they call you cORoline and not cARoline, not Caroline at all !"-Mr. Bobinsky.

Fun fact: When Neil Gaimon (the author, he's a great guy) wrote the book, the publisher said it was too scary and wasn't going to publish it. Neil said, "Alright, how about we try this. Read the story to your kid or have her read it, and let me know how she feels about it." So, the publisher did just that, and when she came back she said that her daughter loved it! Years later he met the girl and thanked her for her input on the book. Without her, it wouldn't have been published. And she just says, "Oh, that book terrified me, but i didn't want my mom to know. I wanted to finish the story." That girl lying to her parent lead to the story we have today. Another fun fact is the Wybe wasn't in the book. Neil could convey things in writing that wouldn't work in a scenic production, so he created wybe. That helped to see Coraline's character since you can't read about it.

Fun fact: this film takes place in Ashland, Oregon where I went to school. The foresty mountains and near constant fog definitely make for a very unique atmosphere.

This movie ticks all my boxes. It’s like a bizarre, unique take on a theme, with almost overt Majors’s Mask vibes. It’s full of puzzles and symbolism and useful items, and haunting distortions of reality. Also, John Hodgman is a legend, a reverent judge, and a great voice actor.

Yeah it's such a unique and imaginative story which serves as a warning sign for children as well. The claymation brings it to life so well, as claymation is a great medium for horror. The movie really does have a magical and mysterious quality as cliche as that sounds, not many kids movies were this good growing up and it's nice to have these diamonds in the rough

Coraline had a Tim Burton or Guillermo del Toro sort of feel. The themes are kind of outrageously exaggerated and creepy, yet amusing. I would have had nightmares about it too, if I had watched it as a kid. Feel better, Oscar!

I mean to be fair they didn't make films this good back then either. For some reason the stars aligned and the studio execs decided to let an original idea (from the book that is) pass through to the big screen, and it paid off. I think the problem is that they're all so damn stingy they don't want to take any creative risks anymore

For us kids who grew up in the 70s and 80s, Coralie is like revisiting our childhood. Our cartoons and entertainment was darker and more surreal than y'all grew up with. This movie is a brilliant world of art woth a classic moral message that rings true for everyone who sees it. And it was BRILLIANT in 3D I saw in theaters 3x! It was the first film to legitimately do so with the modern 3D tech. It's really the only film to successfully make it a magical real 3D experience in theaters. You were IN the world. It was fantastically amazing!

The origins of the name Wyborn are cool and varied Several sources that I read connects the origin to Norse culture with a rough translation of “war bear” Also connected to Ireland & UK rough translation of “war hero” Wybie wasn’t in the book, he was created to help facilitate Coraline’s internal monologues/plans in the books

The Neil Gaiman book this is based on was always a "semi-children's book". Like it would get stocked in the kids section, but a lot of people who read it were young adult or adults. Same with Wolves In The Walls. I got it for my friend (we were both in our twenties at the time) and she said it was scary af. The publishing story goes that Gaiman sent it to his agent who said it's too scary for kids and needs to be published as an adult book. He dared her to read it to her kids (both under 10), and if they say it's too scary, then he'll re-edit it as an adult story and they'll go with that. The kids loved it, so as per deal, Coraline was sold as a children's book. At the premier of a musical adaptation, Gaiman was sat next to one of agent's kids, now 15. She said she actually lied and was scared out of her mind at the story, but she wanted to know it ended, and if she'd admitted she was scared as a kid, she wouldn't have gotten to know how that

I feel bad for the other dad because he was on coroline side and tried giving her hints to this realm and he also helped her get the key i do there is a thearey that the dad is the ghost boy tho

Oscar at 0:47: "Euh, I don't like the buttons" Me: "Honey, you've got a big storm coming"

When I was little, I liked the movie not because I thought it was scary... (grew up watching courage and invader zim as just above toddler age and was beginning to enter the creepypasta fandom around the time the movie came out.) But I liked the story and the aesthetics, and practically everything about it.

Some old legends about the fey folk said that if they ever took you to their homes, never eat or drink anything there or you would be trapped there forever. That came to mind when Other Mother wanted Coraline to eat. Also note that Other Mother didn't. Other legends also held that time passed differently in the other places you could go in and party for years and come out old, but only a short time had passed in the regular world. Or you might not age while there however long you stayed, but as soon as you left, you would age accordingly and may well die.

This film is about to be re-released in cinemas here in Mexico for its 15th anniversary. I watched it 15 years ago with my grandmother and sister when it came out, and I can't wait to watch it again on the big screen.

I was 18 when it came out, got to see it at the movies with my friends and it's one of the movie experience I remember vividly. My son used to watch it as a toddler and absolutely love it but when he was about 5, he suddenly became scared of his snowglobe collection. We ''lost'' the dvd lol

if you liked this one, I suggest paranorman and wendell & wild

Maybe I was a weird kid but I've loved this movie since my first watch, even tho my older sister was deathly scared of it. This movie really made my love for unusual horror and stop motion grow. I really love it to bits along with onther laika films ie boxtrolls and paranorman (The underrated laika movies nobody talks abt).

This is one of my favorite movies. It reminds me of my childhood, lol.

I was so excited when this film came out. I had read the book so many times so seeing the characters come to life was amazing

One of my favourite movies and I used watch it again and again. Loved the aesthetic and that it is stop motion, everything is handmade and it’s so well done, the sounds design. I also always saw the message of the movie be careful what you wish for, because she was unhappy and unsatisfied, then sees this “other world” and the outcome is not what she wanted

This is one of my all time favorite movies. I was only able to start watching it in high school but I fell in love with it on my first watch and even further with every other watch. My local movie theater recently had the movie in theaters again for a fathom events and I had to go see it lol I’ve also owned over 3 copies of the movies 1 on dvd 1 on blu ray that came with a trio of movies from the studio (Coraline, ParaNorman and Box Trolls) And I recently bought the steel book which came with a copy of the blu ray and the 4k blu ray

13:15 no.. I think Other Wyborn did tell him. Him not talking was a recent “fix” by the Beldam. Plus, the OG Wybie wouldn’t know anything about

“Acceptable for kids” is definitely a relative term. Especially from movies like this, just about anything by Don Bluth, Return to Oz, a bunch of Disney movies (animated AND live action), etcetera.

I found this movie so relatable. Especially the kitchen scene where Coraline and the Beldame pretend everything is perfect, just humming and waiting patiently for food - until Coraline hints at the issue and the Beldame starts to show her true colors from then on in the movie 😬

"Everything is so warm and colorful now-- OH!" I laughed so hard at that.

To be honest, this movie made me go to mental hospital. That’s how much it scarred me as a child. and imagine seeing this in the movie theaters on 3-D, and then ending up in a hospital that night wow. Those black buttons still creep me out.

The only scene I remember remembering is the other mother banging on that tiny door yelling for coraline made my eyes go wide and feel kinda tense, and over thinking the ending with the cat disappearing behind the sign 😆

...lovely how the movies connect and relate, like Jack, traveling to a different worlds and the lies that give Tangle vibes.

I loooove this movie and its a big part of my childhood. I remember watching in the theaters when i was 7 and loving it while my sister who was 13 hated it bc she was so scared and creeped out 😂 i guess i always liked creepy stuff even when i was a child.

i first watched this movie in kindergarten when my teacher put it on for halloween, it’s been one of my favorite movies since

This movie creeped me out as a kid but for some reason it's one of my favorite movies and books and I want a sequel to both

I always hated horror stories but Coraline as a kid and now has never been really scary to me. I love it.

I saw this when it 1st came out in theaters, in 3-D. It was a total trip, loved it!!!

Cool fact, though uncredited, the short musical number with the Other Father was performed by the indie group 'They Might Be Giants' who also did things like the theme song for 'Malcolme In the Middle'. (My Dad is friends with the manager for the band. ;) ) Interesting theory. Mr Bobinsky is speculated to be part of the Chernobyl clean-up campaign which is why his skin is blue due to radiationpoisoning. He can even be seen wearing a medal bearing a strong resemblance to the one given to those who participated in that dangerous service.

9 is also a very good movie, its animated and came out the same year coraline did. It’s really interesting and very disturbing at times and i love it. 9, paranorman, coralline, and monster house were some classic favorites of mine growing up. I watched coraline so many times, i can recite the whole movie. Loved this reaction :)

27:12 I love how you didn’t see that part😂 lol the cat

I dont know if this is confirmed or commonly known, but i have a theory. The well looks a lot like the tunnel behind the door when you see the shot of coraline dropping the key and hand down it. Unknowingly sending the key straight to the Beldam.

I use to love watching that when I was 5 Years old lol I still enjoy the Movie :] But now that I'm older I see Coraline was definitely kinda a Affectionate Neglected

It's sadly so rare for cats to be good guys in any sort of film; one of the reasons I like this film even though it scares me a ton and makes me uncomfortable. We need more good guy cats in movies, flip that stereotype.

The ending is actually quite ominous. As the camera zooms out from the garden, it's actually shaped like the Beldam's face. And then the cat disappears behind the sign as the movie cuts to black with a dramatic "thud". The movie's language is telling us that the Beldam might still be out there, in the other world, still watching Coraline. If you think this movie's scary now, imagine being an easily scared 7-year old. This movie messed me up big time. But it truly is an amazingly made film. The author of the original book wrote it to be a horror story for children, and he might've done his job a bit too well!

I was terrified and had nightmares for forever, then for some reason my mom got the book for me and after reading it I suddenly wasn’t scared anymore. It’s been my favorite movie ever since.

i actually watched this when i was about eight. my brother told me about this movie and he didn't tell me what it was about, so i was sitting alone in his room, the lights turned off, at night. it didn't give me nightmares because i don't really find this story THAT bad, but it was definitely not the way to watch it lol

The book is surprisingly darker and creepier than the movie, i would really recommend giving it a read. For one thing, theres no dolls, its all flesh and blood things (also, that scene where the cat claws up the other mother? Shes described as bleeding a tarry black blood during that scene) theres also an eldritch horror bigger than the other mother, that shes even scared of (also, we see a lot more of the other mother's powers) the horror factor is higher too

is this a kids movie? I wouldn't say so. did we all somehow tragically end up watching it as kids? absolutely. I remember on the last day of school in primary, the teacher wheeled in the tv and upon popular demand, put this movie on. safe to say I haven't been the same since.

Some people are just easily scared. I have one friend who has been that way her whole life, I'm fact I have two but one is closer to me so she has learnt to survive horror movies. I do think that it is about how much horror they get as a child tho, I watched the black cauldron at a age I can't remember. Played Skyrim when I was super young too. Those two friends almost exclusively watched cute movies. We need to start showing kids semi horror stuff because not being able to take horror at all seems pretty darn boring.

It's kind of funny for me to remember that many children (even older than me like you) their parents didn't let them see Coraline, because I saw Coraline when I was four in the cinema (if you think about it, a bad age to take someone so young to go to the movies, but I was the kind of kid who could watch movies, leave them on the couch and come back in two hours and I would still be there, without moving or saying anything) and it became my favorite movie when I was little, it was the only one cd that I had in my life and I repeated it as much as I could, my mom came out of the movie a little scared and asking me if I liked it or if I was okay, but I was just amazed by all that adventure around Coraline and the adrenaline that I got.

Aside from Wybie and Coraline, the lesbian actresses downstairs are my favorite characters. (Neil Gaìman himself agrees that they're a lesbian couple BTW.)

The book this movie based on author wrote as bed time story for his child (4-6years old).

I love how Reaction content seems to come in waves - one day everybody's reacting to the newest Netflix drama, the next a 2009 stop motion animation film. Don't know why. The Algorithm works in mysterious ways, but I'm not complaining.

It's weird that people "grew up" watching this movie. You truly never feel old. My grandpa once said, "I see this old man looking back at me in the mirror, and I can hardly believe it's me".

As a kid this movie scared me the first time I tried watching it so much that I couldn't finish watching it and I had so many nightmares 😞

I would love to see you reacting to other (not so known) animation movies like Epic, the owls of ga'hoole or the adventures of tintin or Arthur and the minimoys, if you havent seen those 😊

Omg someone said it!! The owls of ga'hoole was one of my favourite movies as a child. I have been disappointed ever since because I have only been able to find like one KZreadr watch it.

I remember my cousin played the game that came out after the movie and I watched her play it before falling in love with it and going to watch the movie 😭

So full disclosure. The day after my brother and I watched this for the first time, I found a pair of blue buttons (my brother's eyes are blue) and a pretty little gift box. I put the buttons and a threaded needle in the box and left it on his pillow...he absolutely freaked. 🤣🤣🤣

I've watched like three different people react to this movie, and it NEVER fails when they see the mother with buttons eyes. If just F creepy. I can't watch this movie by myself.

This movie is such a comfort film for me☺️

Loved watching this movie in 3D though it was almost like a fever dream 😂😂

I was 15 when I saw this in the cinema, took my 10 year old sister. By the end of it, my sister was practically asleep while I was rocking back and forth with horror. I was scared of big buttons for a while after that...

I absolutely love this film, looks amazing in 3D. I just hope one day they make a sequel

I don't think that's gonna happened, because there is only one book!

It’s almost October

Yea my 3yr old forced me to watch this movie over 20 times last year. The first time he asked I told him it’s scary and still insisted for family movie night so I turned it on assuming he would get freaked out and we would watch something else…nope the kid was absolutely enthralled and anytime he saw it he would request it 😂 so now we watch it at least once a month and we talk about it after about how it makes him feel and if he ever gets scared. He basically says it’s good scary so I guess it’s cool. There are studies that believe fear is actually a beneficial emotion for kids in age appropriate controlled environments like movies, jump scares (like when you play hide and seek with your kid and jump out at them), and stuff like that.

I watched one scene when I was younger and I knew i shouldn't do it. I use to have nightmares

I think I watched this movie when I was younger. I wasn't traumatized, and I actually forgot most of it. I found it kind of boring back then haha I'm surprised you edited out the part where the other Wybie was being hung. That was the most memorable scene to me when I watched this movie again recently. It was what came to mind when I read "THIS IS FOR KIDS!?"
