i got so many nightmares from this movie as a kid. funnily enough that i'm older i'm a total metalhead who loves horror and this is legit my comfort movie
Fun fact: this is the VERY watered down version of the book, which was actually too scary to be published as a children's book. The only reason it was? The daughter of the publisher was so terrified she NEEDED to find out the ending, so she lied and said it wasn't scary.
This information is going around everywhere (I believe it was based on a tumblr post), but I watched an interview from Neil Gaiman and he said a different story. Neil said he worked on Coraline for his 4 year old daughter and she loved hearing stories about young girls escaping from an evil witch pretending to be their mother. He went to look for some horror book for kids but when he asked the book store staff, they looked at him in a weird way. That's when he decided to write his own children horror story. It was supposed to be a short 2000 word story. He put it off for over 10 year. His first daughter was much older and he realized that his second daughter was 6 years old. He believed it was the last time he could read the story for his daughter when she is still a child. That's when he got to finish his book and read it to her. In America, he sent it to his current editor and SHE is the one who asked him what happened next. He then told her, "Give me a contract and we will both find out"
@@Neimykanani neil gaiman is ON tumblr and he confirmed it. he wrote the book for his daughter based on a house they lived in once and finished it years later for his second daughter (as written in the foreword of the 10th anniversary print), sent it to his literary agent who read it to /her/ daughters to see if it was too scary for kids. years later the younger one met gaiman and told him was scared out of her mind but lied to her mother so she would find out how the book ended
you’re like the first reactor I’ve seen sympathizing with coraline about her neglectful parents, like she was nearly killed because of her need for someone to pay attention to her. poor baby. maybe it’s because you’re an actual parent and understand kids, but it was very refreshing to see
I was just about to comment that. I'm not a parent but I was really confused as to why no one seemed to understand that Coraline is a child and she just moved away from her friends she has no one to play with she can only entertain herself for so long. Thank you for mentioning this so I don't have to, you are the best.
I can explain: they were pressed for time on a garden catalog, and if they didn't get it in before the deadline, they would've been screwed. Ask any published author. This is a real thing.
@@videohistory722 I understand that, it's a lot of work that needed to be done. However, a simple I need to do some work right now it's very important can you please try to entertain yourself for a bit while we work, would have sufficed. The fact that they were busy all day for about 3 days with absolutely no extra time for their daughter is interesting. Especially since they just moved into a new house and they let her wander around without adult supervision and didn't seem the least bit worried when she said she almost fell down a well. I can understand being busy but I just think that her parents could have handled it better, so their child didn't feel like they didn't care about her. I hope this doesn't sound rude I was just trying to get my point across but I realized without tone it sounds a bit rude.
Interesting fact: the tools the other mother used to make coraline's doll are the same tools used by morticians in the old days to embalm corpses. So the introduction scene meant the other mother was preparing coraline for her death.
FUN FACT: The "Welcome Home!" cake that the Other Mother gives Coraline is actually a secret message. In calligraphy, a double looped "o" means that the person who wrote it is lying. If you look closely at the cake, the "o" in "welcome" has a single loop while the "o" in "home" has a double loop, telling Coraline that she is in fact welcome, but she is not home.
If you were paying attention to the Other Father's song, you'd realize that it was actually a warning. Making up a song about coraline. She's a peach (something to eat) she's a doll (how the other mother spies on her) she's a pal of mine (he actually cares about her.) She's a cute as a button to everyone who ever laid their eyes on coraline (buttons for eyes) When she comes exploring, mom and I will never ever make it boring (how the other mother plans to lure her into staying) Our eyes will be on coraline (sewing the buttons into her eyes) And then the pause right at the end, before he pulls away, he looks right at the camera like he's saying, "Did you get that?"
oh shit , i like that, all the times i’ve watched i never caught on to that, so observant (this wasn’t sarcasm, i just realized it could come off that way lol)
The medal Bobinsky is wearing is one that was awarded to Chernobyl liquidators for their efforts in the clean up campaign. That's why his skin is blue.
Just for clarification, her parents lost a lot of money paying for the mom's hospital bill from a car accident and the mom lost her job. They moved to the Pink House because it was cheaper and they found work in the town. Without working so hard on their articles they would have ended up homeless. But after it went well they could afford to take time out of their day to play with Caroline and they even bought her the gloves she wanted.
Yeah Coraline isnt actually a neglected child, they just had to focus on work for a few days. Its why the other kids would do anythimg and agreed to sew the buttons into their eyes. Coraline comes feom a loving home and was just a brief moment of hardship.
@@silverkyre They sure didn't show it because the mom looked genuinely irritated with Coraline and even kept telling her to be quiet. I understand that they need bills to be paid but that doesn't excuse how they talk to Coraline even if Coraline was actually being annoying. She's in a new place with no friends that looks desolate and she barely likes Wyborn. She just wanted the love she lost from her friends, her parents, and her old home. I can see your side but I see the other side more. And they also didn't give off that it was a few days type of thing or that the mom lost the job, just that she was put in the hospital and they had to move because of the "accident"
Sai Sakurgura i think we also have to remember that the story is told from coraline’s point of view. i know when i was a child i intepreted my parents actions much differently than i do now. so it could just be from coraline’s pov that her parents were extremely careless of her when in reality it probably wasn’t to that extent as seen in the ending when they’re all together
That was me when I first watched it as a child ngl😂I was like "OMG THIS IS PERFECT I LOVE THIS PLEASE DON'T LET ANYTHING GO WRONG" lmaoooo I think that's the amazing part about the movie. It's even able to lure the audience in like there's so many red flags but we're still falling for it🤣
For all who didn’t already know, Mr. Bobinsky’s badge is the same worn by those who helped to clear up the mess at Chernobyl, hence the blue color of his skin represents an example of the brutal side effects from the radiation
Everyone always talks about how traumatizing this movie was but I watched Courage the Cowardly Dog and read a lot of ghost stories when I was little so it didn't exactly have that kind of effect on me.
i never understood why the movie was actually that scary to people, i mean it was kinda freaky/creepy but scary? nah, but then again, a lot of my emotions are numb lmfao but courage? return the slab was pretty spooky lmfao
The book is far more creepy. The levels of unease this book can cause are *profound*. Take this passage during one of Coraline's trips through the tunnel to the Other World: "And there was something else, which suddenly scuttled between her feet, nearly sending Coraline flying. She caught herself before she went down, using her own momentum to keep moving. She knew that if she fell in that corridor she might never get up again. Whatever that corridor was was older by far than the other mother. It was deep, and slow, and it knew that she was there…"
The tunnel is absolutely some sentient gatekeeper who is supposed to keep the Beldam trapped. She's gotta be some ancient fey monster that he olde humans figured out how to trap there in the past, or modern technology forced her to retreat there or something. The worldbuilding in the book is so deliberately vague and mysterious in intentional ways. I love it.
It’s weird, books don’t make me feel any sort of emotion, I just read that and anything else I’ve ever read with the straightest face but this movie is genuinely scary even though it’s a kids movie
I read the book as an adult and the scene with the other father in the basement gave me such creeps that I had to put the book down and walk away for a minute
By the way the medal that Mr. Bobinski wears is almost identical to the ones that were given to people who cleaned up Chernobyl which most likely explains why his skin is blue. He suffers from radiation poisoning from when he cleaned up Chernobyl!!
I remember when this was in theaters some people walked out during that performance scene because of the women’s costumes. You’re right a lot of Latika movies took risks. That’s partly why they are so successful. I suggest watching more of them.
I figured out pretty quickly that the women WERE the costumes, for two reasons: They didn't have button eyes when everyone else from that world did. Other-Miriam's torso was way too stiff. Any "well-developed" lady knows that no chest that large will stay put when dancing around (let alone bouncing on a springboard) without any sort of support garment. Real-Miriam on the other hand wears a corset, which with her proportions would be a lot more comfortable than a modern bra, since it helps keep her back straight and holds all the extra weight from below instead of hanging it from her shoulders
I remember going to see this at my local cinema and there were two critics there which is something is quite rare from where I live. After the film ended, I overheard them talking and remember them saying this: CRITIC 1: "I really enjoyed that. It had amazing visuals and was extremely imaginative. But I think it might scare some children." CRITIC 2: "Are you kidding? It scared the shit out of me!" TRIVIA: The cat (Wuss Puss) is voiced by Keith David aka Dr. Facilier from The Princess & the Frog.
I'm about halfway through this reaction and Billy can I just say, you are way too trusting of a family with buttons for eyes that lives on the other side of a terrifying tunnel and sews up kids mouths, just because they have nice food??? I'm worried???
@@BillyBinges there’s actually theories that Coraline never really escaped. U can go watch them if u want. Also there are also theories that the ghost kids are just puppets and not the actual ghosts. And the well is also a portal to the other world and the ghost boy, (Huckfinn Jr) was her first victim cuz in the book he says he used to have long hair and skirts so he probably was alive in the 1500s and the Beldam (the other mother) probably is older than that but look at the three pictures in the dining room in the other world. They are shadow pictures and they could be the ghost kids. The Fangirl said that the girl in the middle could be Mrs. Lovat’s twin sister aka the sweet ghost girl the one with the braids but the braids in the pic were way too long so it had to be the tall ghost girl aka the pioneer girl but her hair has really tight curls and so they would be puffy if they were braided unless u used a straightener but that probably didn’t even exist in her lifetime and the pics on the sides are both boys and neither of them have the cowlick that the ghost boy (Huckfinn Jr) has so that means we don’t know who those kids are. And the other mother is posing as her real mom. U can watch those vids too. Also one more thing is that the reason why the tall ghost girl (the pioneer girl) always has her mouth open is because that’s probably the last face she made before she died (I got that from a reel) and ya u also have a new subscriber
When I was a kid, I read the novel this movie was based on. We lived in a big old farm house, and my sister and I had the top floor to ourselves. Our rooms were identical, except that my room had a tiny door leading into a crawl space. I never went into it, and after I read Coraline, I moved a heavy cupboard in front of it and never opened it again.
@@2gz_noonie Lol right? Honestly this movie didn't scare me nor my brother when we were young, but Martin Mystery took that award. To this day I can't sit trought a specific episode and I'm 21
The hardest scene they had to film for this movie was the mice circus performance. If you know anything about stop motion, you know it's ridiculously hard to pull off, especially like this.
CORALINE 👏 IS 👏 MY 👏 COMFORT 👏 MOVIE! Hints as to how other father warned Coraline the entirety of the movie: - Basically the whole song he wrote for her in the beginning ("She's a DOLL", "She's as cute as a BUTTON", "in the EYES of everyone who ever laid their eyes on Coraline", "OUR EYES WILL BE ON CORALINE") - "She knows you like the back of her hand" - "So sharp you won't feel a thing." - "He pulled a long face that mother didn't like" - "Mustn't talk when mother's not here." Favorite part of the movie: "TAKE IT!" Other father says as he grabs one of the children's eyes and hands it to Coraline before sinking into the ground and becoming stone. This just goes to show that the Other Father did have a heart and only wanted to protect Coraline. WE STAN YOU OTHER FATHER!!! The cat is my other favorite character!
Idk why but that scene where he is handing her the eye just scares the shit out of me. Not because he himself is scary, just between the score and the dialogue it kinda freaked me out. “So sorry, mother making me. Don’t want to hurt you.” Just that the situation both he and coralline are in are just asdfghjkl 🤡
@@meggy_davidson yeah I see what you mean. I mean I find it creepy and unsettling when the other mother taps her fingers on the table. I don't know. I'm still trying to figure that out.
Btw, is just a teory But considering the region that the film seems to take place in, Mr Bobinsk is actually someone who would have helped in Chernobyl, he has confederation medals on his chest and beets help with radiation poisoning effects, which explains his somewhat bizarre figure, but also shows his golden heart without saying much
I was actually obsessed w this movie as a kid tbh. Everyone says they were terrified of it, but then again my mom loved Tim Burton films and watched them a lot and I always watched The Nightmare Before Christmas as well lol.
I love Coraline SO much. The details in this movie are insane like the letter o's on the cake that says 'welcome home'. The second o has a double loop which typically signifies something being false or deceitful aka Coraline is welcome but she ISN'T "home".
Yeah!! One of my favorite movies of all time. Sadly I heard that they could do a sequel. I hope not!! Jessica Rabbit is one of my favorites & would be upset she would get redesigned. I have a pin & laptop sticker of her
#binders you seriously need to do this one. I love how they reversed her squash and stretch. Weight goes up instead of down when she walks. Her cartoon feel. Also the fact that this will be the last movie to have equal parts Disney and Looney toons down to screen time. All the actors are British doing their American accents.
Coraline is just stop motion I can’t find anything about use of claymation in the movie the model’s faces were made using 3d printing. Fun fact the clothes all had to be specially made to have the fabric look correct for the scale of the model.
"why were you born came through!" This had me cracking up I loved this movie so much when I was younger I bought the DVD which for a kid 40 dollars was a big purchase. Watching him try to figure out what was going on was fun as I've seen it quite a bit. I don't remember being scared of it cause I liked darker stuff and adored most of Tim Burton's animations.
It was refreshing to see billy actually make some wrong guesses for once, as usual though billy knows what's up where it matters - show your family you care about them!
Wait I don’t know if I misunderstood or if you got confused… when you called Wybie’s grandmother’s sister a witch, the sister was one of the ghost girls but I’m guessing you got that I just thought I’d say incase you thought the sister was the other mother. Also I’m surprised because I think you’re the first person I’ve seen not suspect anything weird about the other world at the beginning but then again you were surprised the movie was creepy so you probably didn’t know it was more on the scary side
#bingers Halloween movies \/ -Corpse Bride -Paranorman -the nightmare before Christmas -Beetlejuice -Edward Scissorhands Ps. Just want you to know that I love your videos and appreciate what you do.
7:08 notice how in the cake, The o in "home" has 2 loops instead of one? This type of o is actually used to say that you're lying. But notice that the o in the "welcome" doesn't have 2 loops? This is because Coraline is welcome, but she isn't home!
It’s called claymation. Almost everything is made out of clay. The entire thing is a bunch of pictures that they took put together. It’s very cool to watch the behind the scenes.
Fun things throughout the movie: 1. We all know how the garden in the other world looks like Coraline. But in the real world, the garden looks like the other mother. 2. It's implied that the well is another portal to the other world. Especially with what Wybie says about it, "it's so deep that if you fell to the bottom and looked up, you would see a sky full of stars in the middle of the day", and it's always nighttime in the other world. So this implies that the other mother has the key now... 3. If you look at all the scenes where they have dinner in the other world, the other mother never eats anything. There is nothing on her plate. In fact the only thing we actually see her eat is bugs. This is because she eats the souls of children to survive, and her last victim was Wybie's great aunt, so it's been a long time and she's literally deteriorating. She's replacing parts of her body with needles, and she was so desperate because Coraline was her last chance to survive. She literally says, "I'll die without you" . 4: the other mother can see out of anything with button eyes. (This is why Other Wybie wears a mask when he goes to rescue her). Also pay attention to the transitions. Whenever Coraline falls asleep, the other mother turns into the doll, which is always watching her. 5. With each soul she consumes, the more power she gets, but the longer she uses that power, the more she starts to lose control of it. 6. The song that the other father plays is a warning for coraline. If you listen to the lyrics, it's full of foreshadowing. There are a lot more small details that have an explanation, like why Mr. Bobinsky is blue, the paintings in the house, and even the cake Coraline eats, but you can look those up for yourself if you're interested.
Movies like this one but are made with more modern technology: "Frankenweenie", "Paranorman" and "Kubo and the Two Strings". All I can only recommend, hope you have a good day.
The first time I watched Paranorman was after my grandmother's death ☠ so while my cousin and I were watching the movie stuff kept falling in abnormal ways 😭😭💔😱 my house was haunted that night
Neat little thing that goes unnoticed: Real mom says she locked the door because she saw some rat crap and wanted Coraline to feel safe. Next time she goes into the other world, she discovers the mice are actually rats.
Fun fact: When the father said she is as sweet as a peach he said that referring to the other mother wanting to eat on her soul and she a doll is referring to the other mother being able to watch her through the doll that she made in the beginning of the movie
#bingers suggesting 'Casper' 1995. You're gonna watch a lot of scary movies so I'm suggesting a family Halloween movie. Give you a little brake from the horror. I love this movie. "The Nightmare Before Christmas" is still my favorite stop-motion animation movie, but "Coraline" is a really close second. #bingers "The Nightmare Before Christmas" is both a Halloween and Christmas movie. A little more Halloween.
There’s theories that Coraline never escaped the other universe. You will have to look up videos for more details about it. But it’s really interesting and they have some solid points. I just can’t remember everything off the top of my head. I do recommend you check it out. It brings a whole new perspective on the ending of the movie.
Fun Fact: the style of animation used for Coraline and The Nightmare Before Christmas is called stop motion and consists of them making actual figures with hundreds of replaceable faces (different frames for lip sync and expressions) and moving parts and taking pictures of them and using those pictures as frames for the movie. The More You Know 🌠 Edit: Had to come back down here after hearing you gush about how the other world is just so much better and I just have one thing to say to that: >:3 Honey, you got a big storm comin. *snap*
In the book, the final scene doesn't happen that way -- Wybie doesn't exist, so Coraline outsmarts the other mother. She pretends to have a picnic over the well, laying a blanket to disguise it. She puts the key in the middle. When the hand leaps to grab the key, the hand falls through.
I was a young teenager when I first saw Coraline, and it scared the absolute hell out of me. Kind of gave me nightmares for a while, but now it’s one of my favourites and I gushed over it like crazy in my dissertation about stop-motion
I love they quote the lore about the stones with the holes in them: it is believed they are a key to find the Faerie Realm and also the circular place in the wood: it is probably a Faerie ring,a magical sacred place where supernatural forces like Faeries meet humans (and sometimes trapped them into in some stories with various ending). Another bonus: the maze is a theme, as the mirror and the shot with a Neverending run trough the haunted house, of ghost /goth stories. Plus the basement with the boiler I suppose is a quote for Shining(I am not sure), another horror with great performances. The hands are a recurring theme also, with the cat: Coraline introduce herself as sea witch and every witch, if you know the folkloric tales, has a black cat as a companion. The black cat also is the only character who doesn't have double: he is full in itself and not because it's alone, but because is only when you recognize and accept reality is the moment you set up the boundaries for yourself, for your definition of yourself instead of passively being what people think to see when they look at you. When you know firmly what is real and what is not you are also able to move between the two side of the lines and see the danger, you are able to make your own decisions fully. And this is the point where I declare this movie a gem and I am afraid of the doll and easy way the other mother said that she sewed Wyborn mouth. Ah, also when she eat the key it reminded me of a X-Files (?) Sequence where a female alien swallow a rat.
When you first watch coroline nobody thinks back to the other fathers song. His song was a warning to her. Telling her to leave before Mother forces her to stay. Makes you wonder whoever's soul is in his body, how many times has he seen this happens.
Laika Studios always create masterpieces. When Coraline came out I was in high school, so it didn't give me nightmares as for the most people I've seen commenting about it. But there were definitely some scare jumps for me. I immediately fell in love with the art style and have watched it a hundred of times. To this day it's one of my favourite movies. I really suggest you to watch their other movies. Especially Kubo and Paranorman.
This movie took over 4 years and 5,000+ people to make. Originally the writer wasnt even going to finish the book but his kid lied and said it wasnt that scary because she wanted to know the ending. Growing up this was and still is one of my favorite movies.
Okkkk soo fun fact this whole story was actually based off the house the writer lived in. So there is the door used in the book actually in that house. In the book it’s a big fancy door.
Welcome to the world of stop motion! Instead of animating drawings (on animated movies), these movies are based on pictures of real life things. All the characters are dolls with interchangeable faces for expressions, and wires for movements; photo after photo at a 2x to 3x speed makes a scene. The job is longer and exhausting, but even better than just animating. Besides the money they get from the movies, they even sell the original dolls used on the web and made millions out of it, so it's an excellent investment in return.
The song he made for coralline actually warns her about what’s going to happen and at the very end you see the cat disappear into the sign (he could only do that in the mother’s world)👀
Actually the cat says that he as many ways in and out of the other realm and that other mother has tried to keep him out but can't stop him. I think the end is just showing the other realm is still there to some degree. God knows what the cat gets up to over there lol.
@@KaiInMotion The well must be a gateway to the other realm as well. It had a 'fairy ring' of mushrooms around it and the drop was unusually high for a well in what looked like a very rainy environment. I think they made a mistake dropping her hand in the well, just sent it back to her. They should have buried it.
@@creativetears1 idk about #2 but Billy said in a livestream that he did film a reaction to the first Addams Family movie but the footage got corrupted/lost so he's not going to upload the first movie :(
You’re the first reactor that really speaks the truth about movies. I just noticed that by watching a few of your videos. Never hold back!✊🏼😄 And also, you are VERY hilarious! 🤣 I swear I’m having a blast watching your reactions.
6:50 fun fact: on the cake it says 'welcome home' but on home the O has a double loop, and double loops signify a lie, signifying that she isnt really home
Actually the grandmothers missing sister isn’t the other mother, she is the shorter ghost girl, the grandmother’s sister got lured into the Same trap as Coraline and unfortunately didn’t make it out. That is why she doesn’t let Wybie go into the pink place, for fear he will go missing too. And he actually mentions at one point that she doesn’t rent the apartments to people with children because she doesn’t want anyone else to end up like her sister. Whom is probably the last victim before Coraline. Loved your reaction!!!
A fun fact: Wyborn means War Bear in Norse But means Battle or Warrior in old English. Coraline has several meanings as well: Free Man; Core; Heart; Maiden; and Rose Garden. And has origins in Latin, Greek, and German. I had to know why he was named that way. 🤷♀️
@@jessicaluk74 not really that obvious especially to children I remember when I watched it as a kid ,I thought they were sisters and most people did too
@@MG-cj7ff Looool. I knew they were lesbians even as a kid. They reminded me waaaaaayyyy too much of my aunt and her wife. That familiar bickering was unmistakable.
Her dad's song was straight up foreshadowing the movie. When she comes around exploring Mom and I will never ever make it boring Our eyes will be on Coraline
Dude the book is so creepy too… they had to change the other fathers ending cause the book was so horrifying. Just read this: “In that dim light, it took her several seconds to recognise it for what it was: the thing was pale and swollen, like a grub, with thin, stick-like arms and feet. It had almost no features on its face, which had puffed and swollen like risen bread dough. The thing had two large black buttons where its eyes should have been.” Imagine seeing that in claymation oh my hell
Ok, As someone who read the books a long time ago, I will defend her parents a little... The father actually The mother is a bit of an asshole, not necessarily a bad person, but clearly one of those strict mothers who believes she is always doing the best for Coraline But the father is a big heart, extremely important and connected to Coraline's morals and courage, but the poor guy is a writer, a lot of work and little money, he had his deadline on the line and just moved, with piles and piles of things to organize, and from dinner and tip we can see that it was not a moving made with a spare budget
My dad put this movie on for me when I was younger thinking it was some cute kid movie because it’s animated but it obviously isn’t so I was....traumatized to say the least
Enjoyed this reaction and I was hoping to see Billy get more creeped out in a 'They kiss like..." type of reaction. lol Next: THE EMPEROR'S NEW GROOVE! #bingers 👍👍👍
4:25 its because she knows its for a vintage key, all the rest of the key are modern and the black one is the only vintage key, also mum is confused of why make a key with a button.
6:11 This is a subtle warning of Coralines other father telling her to get out while she still can. And shows that the other father really loved her. This movies AWESOME
There are so many hints that she is still there, but the chance of that not being the case is just as high. For example, like at the ending, the garden being the face of the other mother, the well being another passageway to that world, and the cat disappears at the end, which it can only do things like that in the other world.
Fun facts:If you listen to the Other Fathers song closely,it is actually a warning telling Coraline to get away from the Other Mother. If you look closely at Mr.Bobinski he has some sort of badge(i forgot what it was for) and the things he did to earn the badge is the reason he is a little crazy,and is also the reason for his blue skin. In the Other Mothers house if you look closely at the wall in the dinner scene the three ghost children can be seen in three pictures. When the other mother is almost in full spider form,she can be seen cracking an egg,and if you look closely in the egg yolk,Jack Skellingtons head can be seen. And the music in the movie sounds like a foreign choir of children,but its actually just complete gibberish.
FINALLY YESS!!! my recommendation was fire you can’t lie 👀 Also! Corpse Bride was made by Tim Burton also so if you aren’t watching Nightmare Before Christmas this month since it’s Christmasy I’d recommend that. #bingers
I’m glad you finally watched this movie. I’ve watched this way more times than I can count 😂😂 and the first few times it gave me nightmares but now that I’m older I sympathize with her than feeling like I could be in the same situation.
2 things: 1. Yes l have. 2. The dolls at the end, when she throws them in the fire, they have been stuffed with sand instead Of Cotten, so, that's why the fire was put out as she threw the doll in the fire. So that's why the belldam will all ways... 🥇 WIN.
6:55 an interesting touch here is a double loop in the o can be a sign of deception. there’s a double loop in the “home” but not the “welcome”. meaning she’s welcome, but she’s not home.
@@blackqueen7226 I don't want to give away the ending, but if you saw it a lot of people in the theater when I went, were upset about how the movie ended. They didn't understand
Just bo clear, Grandmas sister wasn't the Beldame (the other mother) It was the Ghost of the Girl with the curly hair. She got lured in just like Coraline
Fun fact: this is the VERY watered down version of the book, which was actually too scary to be published as a children's book. The only reason it was? The daughter of the publisher was so terrified she NEEDED to find out the ending, so she lied and said it wasn't scary.
Bro i feel like sh*t rn but when I opened TH-cam and found this right infront of me dk why but felt a little bit better, i love Coraline and can't wait 15 minutes more or something for your video, i hope everyone is having a great day
So I think the Beldam steals their eyes because, you know the phrase 'eyes are the windows to the soul'? So she steals their 'eyes', but their eyes just symbolize their souls.
For the Other Spink and Forcible, when they were shouting "Thief! Give it back!" Those are actually their real voices. When they're singing or just speaking normally, they're altered, but their real voices are so creepy, for that one scene, they just said, "let's just use them as is!"
I hated wearing my uniform it was originally colored maroon and white but later on changed into the most universally hated colors navy and white. I was forced to wear long ass skirts that would make you trip if you ever have the urge to run (a health hazard at best) I hated wearing skirts even to this day because of them and would always prefer pants over those mess.

You can’t tell me this is a little children movie. I don’t believe it at all.
What age did you first watch this movie? 😂
Had me all out of character.

I started to watched this movie at the age of 11 or 12
I’ve never seen this movie
I did
Read the book at age 6 or 7, finally saw the movie around age 13 😂 It definitely had adult-level scares
I first watched this when I was like 5, loved it even then
coraline was the reason i couldn’t sleep for months and the reason i will NEVER look in a tiny door in a house i’m in.
lol
Same, I saw spidery people at night forever so thanks to the movie
Wait till you read the horror comic version
i got so many nightmares from this movie as a kid. funnily enough that i'm older i'm a total metalhead who loves horror and this is legit my comfort movie
You had a small door in your house?
Fun fact: this is the VERY watered down version of the book, which was actually too scary to be published as a children's book. The only reason it was? The daughter of the publisher was so terrified she NEEDED to find out the ending, so she lied and said it wasn't scary.
I remember in elementary school my etc read this to our class. I had never felt so creeped out and afraid surrounded by a group of people.
This information is going around everywhere (I believe it was based on a tumblr post), but I watched an interview from Neil Gaiman and he said a different story.
Neil said he worked on Coraline for his 4 year old daughter and she loved hearing stories about young girls escaping from an evil witch pretending to be their mother. He went to look for some horror book for kids but when he asked the book store staff, they looked at him in a weird way.
That's when he decided to write his own children horror story. It was supposed to be a short 2000 word story. He put it off for over 10 year. His first daughter was much older and he realized that his second daughter was 6 years old. He believed it was the last time he could read the story for his daughter when she is still a child. That's when he got to finish his book and read it to her.
In America, he sent it to his current editor and SHE is the one who asked him what happened next. He then told her, "Give me a contract and we will both find out"
@@Neimykanani neil gaiman is ON tumblr and he confirmed it. he wrote the book for his daughter based on a house they lived in once and finished it years later for his second daughter (as written in the foreword of the 10th anniversary print), sent it to his literary agent who read it to /her/ daughters to see if it was too scary for kids. years later the younger one met gaiman and told him was scared out of her mind but lied to her mother so she would find out how the book ended
@@PirateGondolier ah I see! So it’s a story told from a different perspective from his editor.
@@PirateGondolier aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
you’re like the first reactor I’ve seen sympathizing with coraline about her neglectful parents, like she was nearly killed because of her need for someone to pay attention to her. poor baby. maybe it’s because you’re an actual parent and understand kids, but it was very refreshing to see
I was just about to comment that. I'm not a parent but I was really confused as to why no one seemed to understand that Coraline is a child and she just moved away from her friends she has no one to play with she can only entertain herself for so long. Thank you for mentioning this so I don't have to, you are the best.
I can explain: they were pressed for time on a garden catalog, and if they didn't get it in before the deadline, they would've been screwed.
Ask any published author. This is a real thing.
@@videohistory722 I understand that, it's a lot of work that needed to be done. However, a simple I need to do some work right now it's very important can you please try to entertain yourself for a bit while we work, would have sufficed. The fact that they were busy all day for about 3 days with absolutely no extra time for their daughter is interesting. Especially since they just moved into a new house and they let her wander around without adult supervision and didn't seem the least bit worried when she said she almost fell down a well. I can understand being busy but I just think that her parents could have handled it better, so their child didn't feel like they didn't care about her. I hope this doesn't sound rude I was just trying to get my point across but I realized without tone it sounds a bit rude.
@@moonchildyoushine2486 what did you think, "I don't have time for you." "Go count the windows. Just let me work." was?
Yes, finally someone who acknowledged it, like I was like my parents aren’t like this when I watched the movie
Interesting fact: the tools the other mother used to make coraline's doll are the same tools used by morticians in the old days to embalm corpses. So the introduction scene meant the other mother was preparing coraline for her death.
FUN FACT: The "Welcome Home!" cake that the Other Mother gives Coraline is actually a secret message.
In calligraphy, a double looped "o" means that the person who wrote it is lying. If you look closely at the cake, the "o" in "welcome" has a single loop while the "o" in "home" has a double loop, telling Coraline that she is in fact welcome, but she is not home.
In other words, the cake is a lie lol
@@RandomDragonEXE *O H M Y G O D.*
I like knowing there is another person out there that KNOWS THE FREAKING FACTS AND GIOD THINGS about the movie 😭😭❤️✨✨👋
@@maryrose2386 cool
Woah. Mind.blown
If you were paying attention to the Other Father's song, you'd realize that it was actually a warning.
Making up a song about coraline.
She's a peach (something to eat) she's a doll (how the other mother spies on her)
she's a pal of mine (he actually cares about her.)
She's a cute as a button to everyone who ever laid their eyes on coraline (buttons for eyes)
When she comes exploring, mom and I will never ever make it boring (how the other mother plans to lure her into staying)
Our eyes will be on coraline (sewing the buttons into her eyes)
And then the pause right at the end, before he pulls away, he looks right at the camera like he's saying, "Did you get that?"
Oof, I've never caught that, that makes it 10×'s more creepy 😳
Other Father deserved better
oh shit , i like that, all the times i’ve watched i never caught on to that, so observant
(this wasn’t sarcasm, i just realized it could come off that way lol)
He was quite a sympathetic character especially when his character dies
That's insane I've never heard anyone said this before
The medal Bobinsky is wearing is one that was awarded to Chernobyl liquidators for their efforts in the clean up campaign.
That's why his skin is blue.
It's also why he eats beets. Apparently beetroots are meant to help against irradiation damage
Haha beat me to it!
thank u so much i was wondering what happened to his skin😄
😮
Just for clarification, her parents lost a lot of money paying for the mom's hospital bill from a car accident and the mom lost her job. They moved to the Pink House because it was cheaper and they found work in the town. Without working so hard on their articles they would have ended up homeless. But after it went well they could afford to take time out of their day to play with Caroline and they even bought her the gloves she wanted.
Yeah Coraline isnt actually a neglected child, they just had to focus on work for a few days. Its why the other kids would do anythimg and agreed to sew the buttons into their eyes. Coraline comes feom a loving home and was just a brief moment of hardship.
@@silverkyre They sure didn't show it because the mom looked genuinely irritated with Coraline and even kept telling her to be quiet. I understand that they need bills to be paid but that doesn't excuse how they talk to Coraline even if Coraline was actually being annoying. She's in a new place with no friends that looks desolate and she barely likes Wyborn. She just wanted the love she lost from her friends, her parents, and her old home. I can see your side but I see the other side more. And they also didn't give off that it was a few days type of thing or that the mom lost the job, just that she was put in the hospital and they had to move because of the "accident"
@@silverkyre she fell down a damn well. If that’s not neglect then idk what is
@@saihorton1360 being pissed at your kid doesn't mean you dislike or neglect them
Sai Sakurgura i think we also have to remember that the story is told from coraline’s point of view. i know when i was a child i intepreted my parents actions much differently than i do now. so it could just be from coraline’s pov that her parents were extremely careless of her when in reality it probably wasn’t to that extent as seen in the ending when they’re all together
Let's be honest, the best part of this was HOW HARD Billy fell for the enticement of the Other side before the big reveal 😂🤣😂
Ikr
For real! I’m was like, _Dude._ *Noooooooooo!* 😭😭😭
I’m like 10 minutes in, and in some disbelief that he is not picking up that _something_ is wrong with this too-perfect picture.
Hhashasha this man would have button eyes by the first night and a biiiiiiiiiiiiig smile too
That was me when I first watched it as a child ngl😂I was like "OMG THIS IS PERFECT I LOVE THIS PLEASE DON'T LET ANYTHING GO WRONG" lmaoooo
I think that's the amazing part about the movie. It's even able to lure the audience in like there's so many red flags but we're still falling for it🤣
For all who didn’t already know, Mr. Bobinsky’s badge is the same worn by those who helped to clear up the mess at Chernobyl, hence the blue color of his skin represents an example of the brutal side effects from the radiation
th-cam.com/video/5azFBg6csvI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=T2mWWY0K0tZZCTAb
Cool
Woah! Really? :0
@@FuzZy_S0cKz Yes, and I don’t even remember commenting this wtf 😭
Everyone always talks about how traumatizing this movie was but I watched Courage the Cowardly Dog and read a lot of ghost stories when I was little so it didn't exactly have that kind of effect on me.
i never understood why the movie was actually that scary to people, i mean it was kinda freaky/creepy but scary? nah, but then again, a lot of my emotions are numb lmfao
but courage? return the slab was pretty spooky lmfao
Courage is a whole other level of scary for me as a kid. But this movie is creepy tho.
I watched Courage the Cowardly dog too, (one of my favourite childhood cartoons, creepy as it was) didn't make Coraline any less chilling
My father showed child me Indiana Jones and Terminator, Temple Of Doom disensitised 7 yr old me enough for anything lmao
Courage the Cowardly Dog and Goosebumps
The book is far more creepy. The levels of unease this book can cause are *profound*. Take this passage during one of Coraline's trips through the tunnel to the Other World: "And there was something else, which suddenly scuttled between her feet, nearly sending Coraline flying. She caught herself before she went down, using her own momentum to keep moving. She knew that if she fell in that corridor she might never get up again. Whatever that corridor was was older by far than the other mother. It was deep, and slow, and it knew that she was there…"
The tunnel is absolutely some sentient gatekeeper who is supposed to keep the Beldam trapped. She's gotta be some ancient fey monster that he olde humans figured out how to trap there in the past, or modern technology forced her to retreat there or something. The worldbuilding in the book is so deliberately vague and mysterious in intentional ways. I love it.
I like the book more
It’s weird, books don’t make me feel any sort of emotion, I just read that and anything else I’ve ever read with the straightest face but this movie is genuinely scary even though it’s a kids movie
YESS
The book was so creepy. And how it described the decomposition of the other father gave me chills.
I read the book as an adult and the scene with the other father in the basement gave me such creeps that I had to put the book down and walk away for a minute
By the way the medal that Mr. Bobinski wears is almost identical to the ones that were given to people who cleaned up Chernobyl which most likely explains why his skin is blue. He suffers from radiation poisoning from when he cleaned up Chernobyl!!
😮
I remember when this was in theaters some people walked out during that performance scene because of the women’s costumes. You’re right a lot of Latika movies took risks. That’s partly why they are so successful. I suggest watching more of them.
I figured out pretty quickly that the women WERE the costumes, for two reasons:
They didn't have button eyes when everyone else from that world did.
Other-Miriam's torso was way too stiff. Any "well-developed" lady knows that no chest that large will stay put when dancing around (let alone bouncing on a springboard) without any sort of support garment. Real-Miriam on the other hand wears a corset, which with her proportions would be a lot more comfortable than a modern bra, since it helps keep her back straight and holds all the extra weight from below instead of hanging it from her shoulders
I remember going to see this at my local cinema and there were two critics there which is something is quite rare from where I live. After the film ended, I overheard them talking and remember them saying this:
CRITIC 1: "I really enjoyed that. It had amazing visuals and was extremely imaginative. But I think it might scare some children."
CRITIC 2: "Are you kidding? It scared the shit out of me!"
TRIVIA: The cat (Wuss Puss) is voiced by Keith David aka Dr. Facilier from The Princess & the Frog.
I'm about halfway through this reaction and Billy can I just say, you are way too trusting of a family with buttons for eyes that lives on the other side of a terrifying tunnel and sews up kids mouths, just because they have nice food??? I'm worried???
My life is such a blur really 😂
@@BillyBinges Lmao
@@BillyBinges there’s actually theories that Coraline never really escaped. U can go watch them if u want. Also there are also theories that the ghost kids are just puppets and not the actual ghosts. And the well is also a portal to the other world and the ghost boy, (Huckfinn Jr) was her first victim cuz in the book he says he used to have long hair and skirts so he probably was alive in the 1500s and the Beldam (the other mother) probably is older than that but look at the three pictures in the dining room in the other world. They are shadow pictures and they could be the ghost kids. The Fangirl said that the girl in the middle could be Mrs. Lovat’s twin sister aka the sweet ghost girl the one with the braids but the braids in the pic were way too long so it had to be the tall ghost girl aka the pioneer girl but her hair has really tight curls and so they would be puffy if they were braided unless u used a straightener but that probably didn’t even exist in her lifetime and the pics on the sides are both boys and neither of them have the cowlick that the ghost boy (Huckfinn Jr) has so that means we don’t know who those kids are. And the other mother is posing as her real mom. U can watch those vids too. Also one more thing is that the reason why the tall ghost girl (the pioneer girl) always has her mouth open is because that’s probably the last face she made before she died (I got that from a reel) and ya u also have a new subscriber
😂
😂😂😂
Billy spending the first half saying Coraline should stay and that he'd stay too was great
The button eyes traumatized me as a kid and even as an adult.
Exactly, like so damn creepy
Same, whole movie was so scary
Traumatized is a strong word..
Peeta: Ready to sacrifice himself for Katniss
Billy: “He a PHONY!!”
Other Mother: Literally has buttons for eyes.
Billy: “This seems fine.”
When I was a kid, I read the novel this movie was based on. We lived in a big old farm house, and my sister and I had the top floor to ourselves. Our rooms were identical, except that my room had a tiny door leading into a crawl space. I never went into it, and after I read Coraline, I moved a heavy cupboard in front of it and never opened it again.
Literally my FAVORITE movie. Seen it at LEAST 200 times and I swear I’m not over exaggerating.
sameee
Same I watched it EVERY day back when it came out over 12 years ago and it’s still my fav lol
Same I absolutely love this film i cant stop watching it
same, idk how it scared people when I was watching this at 5 yrs😂
@@2gz_noonie Lol right? Honestly this movie didn't scare me nor my brother when we were young, but Martin Mystery took that award. To this day I can't sit trought a specific episode and I'm 21
The hardest scene they had to film for this movie was the mice circus performance. If you know anything about stop motion, you know it's ridiculously hard to pull off, especially like this.
CORALINE 👏 IS 👏 MY 👏 COMFORT 👏 MOVIE!
Hints as to how other father warned Coraline the entirety of the movie:
- Basically the whole song he wrote for her in the beginning ("She's a DOLL", "She's as cute as a BUTTON", "in the EYES of everyone who ever laid their eyes on Coraline", "OUR EYES WILL BE ON CORALINE")
- "She knows you like the back of her hand"
- "So sharp you won't feel a thing."
- "He pulled a long face that mother didn't like"
- "Mustn't talk when mother's not here."
Favorite part of the movie:
"TAKE IT!" Other father says as he grabs one of the children's eyes and hands it to Coraline before sinking into the ground and becoming stone.
This just goes to show that the Other Father did have a heart and only wanted to protect Coraline. WE STAN YOU OTHER FATHER!!! The cat is my other favorite character!
no judgement but comfort? lol
Idk why but that scene where he is handing her the eye just scares the shit out of me. Not because he himself is scary, just between the score and the dialogue it kinda freaked me out. “So sorry, mother making me. Don’t want to hurt you.” Just that the situation both he and coralline are in are just asdfghjkl 🤡
She never left the other world, at the end of the movie.
@@larirodrigues25 your fine lol yeah it's my go to movie
@@meggy_davidson yeah I see what you mean. I mean I find it creepy and unsettling when the other mother taps her fingers on the table. I don't know. I'm still trying to figure that out.
Btw, is just a teory But considering the region that the film seems to take place in, Mr Bobinsk is actually someone who would have helped in Chernobyl, he has confederation medals on his chest and beets help with radiation poisoning effects, which explains his somewhat bizarre figure, but also shows his golden heart without saying much
I was actually obsessed w this movie as a kid tbh. Everyone says they were terrified of it, but then again my mom loved Tim Burton films and watched them a lot and I always watched The Nightmare Before Christmas as well lol.
I love Coraline SO much. The details in this movie are insane like the letter o's on the cake that says 'welcome home'. The second o has a double loop which typically signifies something being false or deceitful aka Coraline is welcome but she ISN'T "home".
I think you'd enjoy Who Framed Roger Rabbit, it still surprises a lot of people that it's a Disney movie lol
Yeah!! One of my favorite movies of all time. Sadly I heard that they could do a sequel. I hope not!! Jessica Rabbit is one of my favorites & would be upset she would get redesigned. I have a pin & laptop sticker of her
Yes!!
#binders you seriously need to do this one.
I love how they reversed her squash and stretch. Weight goes up instead of down when she walks. Her cartoon feel.
Also the fact that this will be the last movie to have equal parts Disney and Looney toons down to screen time. All the actors are British doing their American accents.
fun fact this entire movie was hand made with clay meaning each facial expression was a different figure head!! it’s called claymation
Coraline is just stop motion I can’t find anything about use of claymation in the movie the model’s faces were made using 3d printing. Fun fact the clothes all had to be specially made to have the fabric look correct for the scale of the model.
Its stop motion
"why were you born came through!"
This had me cracking up I loved this movie so much when I was younger I bought the DVD which for a kid 40 dollars was a big purchase. Watching him try to figure out what was going on was fun as I've seen it quite a bit. I don't remember being scared of it cause I liked darker stuff and adored most of Tim Burton's animations.
It was refreshing to see billy actually make some wrong guesses for once, as usual though billy knows what's up where it matters - show your family you care about them!
Wait I don’t know if I misunderstood or if you got confused… when you called Wybie’s grandmother’s sister a witch, the sister was one of the ghost girls but I’m guessing you got that I just thought I’d say incase you thought the sister was the other mother. Also I’m surprised because I think you’re the first person I’ve seen not suspect anything weird about the other world at the beginning but then again you were surprised the movie was creepy so you probably didn’t know it was more on the scary side

7:08 notice how in the cake, The o in "home" has 2 loops instead of one? This type of o is actually used to say that you're lying. But notice that the o in the "welcome" doesn't have 2 loops? This is because Coraline is welcome, but she isn't home!
You should rather put the 6:55 as you time mark. And wow I never heard a double loops o thing. Man so much effort went into this movie
And apparently that wasn't even intentional. The filmmakers didn't know that until people started pointing it out.
Hi, not tryna be rude, hehe, but I would but the timestamp as 6:51
Can you please tell where you can wacht the movie and the title
It’s called claymation. Almost everything is made out of clay. The entire thing is a bunch of pictures that they took put together. It’s very cool to watch the behind the scenes.
Fun things throughout the movie:
1. We all know how the garden in the other world looks like Coraline. But in the real world, the garden looks like the other mother.
2. It's implied that the well is another portal to the other world. Especially with what Wybie says about it, "it's so deep that if you fell to the bottom and looked up, you would see a sky full of stars in the middle of the day", and it's always nighttime in the other world. So this implies that the other mother has the key now...
3. If you look at all the scenes where they have dinner in the other world, the other mother never eats anything. There is nothing on her plate. In fact the only thing we actually see her eat is bugs. This is because she eats the souls of children to survive, and her last victim was Wybie's great aunt, so it's been a long time and she's literally deteriorating. She's replacing parts of her body with needles, and she was so desperate because Coraline was her last chance to survive. She literally says, "I'll die without you" .
4: the other mother can see out of anything with button eyes. (This is why Other Wybie wears a mask when he goes to rescue her). Also pay attention to the transitions. Whenever Coraline falls asleep, the other mother turns into the doll, which is always watching her.
5. With each soul she consumes, the more power she gets, but the longer she uses that power, the more she starts to lose control of it.
6. The song that the other father plays is a warning for coraline. If you listen to the lyrics, it's full of foreshadowing.
There are a lot more small details that have an explanation, like why Mr. Bobinsky is blue, the paintings in the house, and even the cake Coraline eats, but you can look those up for yourself if you're interested.
Billy is the only movie reactor I don’t get annoyed with

Movies like this one but are made with more modern technology: "Frankenweenie", "Paranorman" and "Kubo and the Two Strings". All I can only recommend, hope you have a good day.
Kubo and the Two Strings is one of my favorite films. It's beautiful - I show it to my students, and they are always caught up in the story.
I really like those movies. Corpse Bride is also in line with the ones you suggested.
The first time I watched Paranorman was after my grandmother's death ☠ so while my cousin and I were watching the movie stuff kept falling in abnormal ways 😭😭💔😱 my house was haunted that night
Yeeesssss. Kubo is so underrated
Yes, Kubo is an underrated gem!!
Neat little thing that goes unnoticed:
Real mom says she locked the door because she saw some rat crap and wanted Coraline to feel safe.
Next time she goes into the other world, she discovers the mice are actually rats.
Fun fact: When the father said she is as sweet as a peach he said that referring to the other mother wanting to eat on her soul and she a doll is referring to the other mother being able to watch her through the doll that she made in the beginning of the movie
“don’t tell me it’s wybeeze” 😂😂😂 “why werew you born, for this reason right now”
"the least you can do is love, cause that's all you can afford to do!" Damn.....that hit hard.
It's been 7 months and it STILL hits hard 🍾
#bingers suggesting 'Casper' 1995. You're gonna watch a lot of scary movies so I'm suggesting a family Halloween movie. Give you a little brake from the horror.
I love this movie. "The Nightmare Before Christmas" is still my favorite stop-motion animation movie, but "Coraline" is a really close second.
#bingers "The Nightmare Before Christmas" is both a Halloween and Christmas movie. A little more Halloween.
There’s theories that Coraline never escaped the other universe. You will have to look up videos for more details about it. But it’s really interesting and they have some solid points. I just can’t remember everything off the top of my head. I do recommend you check it out. It brings a whole new perspective on the ending of the movie.
I just can’t imagine Coraline, escaping the other world. I just know she’s trapped, in the other world until. She can find a way to escape.
Fun Fact: the style of animation used for Coraline and The Nightmare Before Christmas is called stop motion and consists of them making actual figures with hundreds of replaceable faces (different frames for lip sync and expressions) and moving parts and taking pictures of them and using those pictures as frames for the movie. The More You Know 🌠
Edit: Had to come back down here after hearing you gush about how the other world is just so much better and I just have one thing to say to that: >:3 Honey, you got a big storm comin. *snap*
In the book, the final scene doesn't happen that way -- Wybie doesn't exist, so Coraline outsmarts the other mother. She pretends to have a picnic over the well, laying a blanket to disguise it. She puts the key in the middle. When the hand leaps to grab the key, the hand falls through.
I was a young teenager when I first saw Coraline, and it scared the absolute hell out of me. Kind of gave me nightmares for a while, but now it’s one of my favourites and I gushed over it like crazy in my dissertation about stop-motion
Same to be honest I think coralline is way scarier than most horror movies out there
You too like I actually felt very uncomfortable from watching Coraline the first time back during middle school
Kid Billy would’ve definitely traded his soul for some food lol
Adult Billy was about to trade his soul to become the Other Daddy
This movie was actually rates PG 13 so technically it wasnt a kids movie lol.
this movie scared tf outta me😭
Well that makes more sense to me!
@@BillyBinges Hey do you think you can do a reaction to *Horton Hears a Who! (2008)* maybe when you get a chance????
loool in Germany it‘s rated PG 6
I saw it when I was like 9 or 10 and it still scared the shit out of me 😂
13 year olds are kids
I love they quote the lore about the stones with the holes in them: it is believed they are a key to find the Faerie Realm and also the circular place in the wood: it is probably a Faerie ring,a magical sacred place where supernatural forces like Faeries meet humans (and sometimes trapped them into in some stories with various ending).
Another bonus: the maze is a theme, as the mirror and the shot with a Neverending run trough the haunted house, of ghost /goth stories. Plus the basement with the boiler I suppose is a quote for Shining(I am not sure), another horror with great performances.
The hands are a recurring theme also, with the cat: Coraline introduce herself as sea witch and every witch, if you know the folkloric tales, has a black cat as a companion. The black cat also is the only character who doesn't have double: he is full in itself and not because it's alone, but because is only when you recognize and accept reality is the moment you set up the boundaries for yourself, for your definition of yourself instead of passively being what people think to see when they look at you. When you know firmly what is real and what is not you are also able to move between the two side of the lines and see the danger, you are able to make your own decisions fully.
And this is the point where I declare this movie a gem and I am afraid of the doll and easy way the other mother said that she sewed Wyborn mouth. Ah, also when she eat the key it reminded me of a X-Files (?) Sequence where a female alien swallow a rat.
When you first watch coroline nobody thinks back to the other fathers song. His song was a warning to her. Telling her to leave before Mother forces her to stay. Makes you wonder whoever's soul is in his body, how many times has he seen this happens.
Laika Studios always create masterpieces. When Coraline came out I was in high school, so it didn't give me nightmares as for the most people I've seen commenting about it. But there were definitely some scare jumps for me. I immediately fell in love with the art style and have watched it a hundred of times. To this day it's one of my favourite movies.
I really suggest you to watch their other movies. Especially Kubo and Paranorman.
This movie took over 4 years and 5,000+ people to make. Originally the writer wasnt even going to finish the book but his kid lied and said it wasnt that scary because she wanted to know the ending. Growing up this was and still is one of my favorite movies.
Something interesting about Laika's movies. There's always a post-credits scene where they show a bit of the animation process.
Okkkk soo fun fact this whole story was actually based off the house the writer lived in. So there is the door used in the book actually in that house. In the book it’s a big fancy door.
19:18 the fact he thought that the beldam was his grandmas missing sister but she was actually a victim of the beldam 😭🤣
Welcome to the world of stop motion!
Instead of animating drawings (on animated movies), these movies are based on pictures of real life things.
All the characters are dolls with interchangeable faces for expressions, and wires for movements; photo after photo at a 2x to 3x speed makes a scene. The job is longer and exhausting, but even better than just animating. Besides the money they get from the movies, they even sell the original dolls used on the web and made millions out of it, so it's an excellent investment in return.
Yes!
The song he made for coralline actually warns her about what’s going to happen and at the very end you see the cat disappear into the sign (he could only do that in the mother’s world)👀
Actually the cat says that he as many ways in and out of the other realm and that other mother has tried to keep him out but can't stop him. I think the end is just showing the other realm is still there to some degree. God knows what the cat gets up to over there lol.
@@KaiInMotion The well must be a gateway to the other realm as well. It had a 'fairy ring' of mushrooms around it and the drop was unusually high for a well in what looked like a very rainy environment. I think they made a mistake dropping her hand in the well, just sent it back to her. They should have buried it.
@@KaiInMotion thank you I didn’t think about that!
@@andromedaspark2241 yeah
#bingers I know he's probably already filmed everything for this month but I hope he gives us Halloween Town!
OH and both Addams Family movies!
Don't forget Twitches 1 & 2
Oh yes most definitely btw I like your profile pic
@@angshauntniquaalexander4145 yasss
@@creativetears1 idk about #2 but Billy said in a livestream that he did film a reaction to the first Addams Family movie but the footage got corrupted/lost so he's not going to upload the first movie :(
You’re the first reactor that really speaks the truth about movies.
I just noticed that by watching a few of your videos. Never hold back!✊🏼😄
And also, you are VERY hilarious! 🤣 I swear I’m having a blast watching your reactions.
6:50 fun fact: on the cake it says 'welcome home' but on home the O has a double loop, and double loops signify a lie, signifying that she isnt really home
Billy: *1 min in* “so is this a all dream…”
Me: we hope lmaoo
*Billy:* The animation for this looks really good
*Everyone that worked on this Stopmotion movie:* ... Thanks?
Stop motion is a form of animation. It works.
Billy: "girl you gonna have me spread-"
Me: *turns around really fast to look at him*
Billy: "Let me stop"
😂😂😂😂😂
Yup billy is an entertainer he know how to make people laugh and enjoy themselves imagine kids watching billy videos that would be so bad
Actually the grandmothers missing sister isn’t the other mother, she is the shorter ghost girl, the grandmother’s sister got lured into the Same trap as Coraline and unfortunately didn’t make it out. That is why she doesn’t let Wybie go into the pink place, for fear he will go missing too. And he actually mentions at one point that she doesn’t rent the apartments to people with children because she doesn’t want anyone else to end up like her sister. Whom is probably the last victim before Coraline. Loved your reaction!!!
A fun fact: Wyborn means War Bear in Norse
But means Battle or Warrior in old English.
Coraline has several meanings as well:
Free Man; Core; Heart; Maiden; and Rose Garden. And has origins in Latin, Greek, and German.
I had to know why he was named that way. 🤷♀️
Oh and this oughta make some people happy:
Its confirmed Spink and Forcible are a couple.
Isn't that obvious I thought they were couple
@@jessicaluk74 but isn't it nice to know that the people behind the movie agree and confirm it?
@@jessicaluk74 not really that obvious especially to children I remember when I watched it as a kid ,I thought they were sisters and most people did too
As a lesbian the confirmation made me so happy 😭
@@MG-cj7ff Looool. I knew they were lesbians even as a kid. They reminded me waaaaaayyyy too much of my aunt and her wife. That familiar bickering was unmistakable.
"I would choose to stay on this side." Oh, you sweet summer child.
Her dad's song was straight up foreshadowing the movie.
When she comes around exploring
Mom and I will never ever make it boring
Our eyes will be on Coraline
Dude the book is so creepy too… they had to change the other fathers ending cause the book was so horrifying. Just read this:
“In that dim light, it took her several seconds to recognise it for what it was: the thing was pale and swollen, like a grub, with thin, stick-like arms and feet. It had almost no features on its face, which had puffed and swollen like risen bread dough.
The thing had two large black buttons where its eyes should have been.”
Imagine seeing that in claymation oh my hell
Ok, As someone who read the books a long time ago, I will defend her parents a little... The father actually
The mother is a bit of an asshole, not necessarily a bad person, but clearly one of those strict mothers who believes she is always doing the best for Coraline
But the father is a big heart, extremely important and connected to Coraline's morals and courage, but the poor guy is a writer, a lot of work and little money, he had his deadline on the line and just moved, with piles and piles of things to organize, and from dinner and tip we can see that it was not a moving made with a spare budget
I love this movie, but the book is even better. They really toned down some of the scary imagery in the adaptation.
My dad put this movie on for me when I was younger thinking it was some cute kid movie because it’s animated but it obviously isn’t so I was....traumatized to say the least
Enjoyed this reaction and I was hoping to see Billy get more creeped out in a 'They kiss like..." type of reaction. lol
Next: THE EMPEROR'S NEW GROOVE! #bingers 👍👍👍
The EMPEROR NEW GROOVE Pls 1&2 #Bingers
4:25 its because she knows its for a vintage key, all the rest of the key are modern and the black one is the only vintage key, also mum is confused of why make a key with a button.
6:11 This is a subtle warning of Coralines other father telling her to get out while she still can.
And shows that the other father really loved her. This movies AWESOME
When I was younger HATED this movie, creeped the hell out of me.
#Bingers Has Billy seen Harry Potter? If not, that would be great.
I just love watching Billy enjoy himself!
Same
There are so many hints that she is still there, but the chance of that not being the case is just as high. For example, like at the ending, the garden being the face of the other mother, the well being another passageway to that world, and the cat disappears at the end, which it can only do things like that in the other world.
Fun facts:If you listen to the Other Fathers song closely,it is actually a warning telling Coraline to get away from the Other Mother.
If you look closely at Mr.Bobinski he has some sort of badge(i forgot what it was for) and the things he did to earn the badge is the reason he is a little crazy,and is also the reason for his blue skin.
In the Other Mothers house if you look closely at the wall in the dinner scene the three ghost children can be seen in three pictures.
When the other mother is almost in full spider form,she can be seen cracking an egg,and if you look closely in the egg yolk,Jack Skellingtons head can be seen.
And the music in the movie sounds like a foreign choir of children,but its actually just complete gibberish.
FINALLY YESS!!! my recommendation was fire you can’t lie 👀
Also! Corpse Bride was made by Tim Burton also so if you aren’t watching Nightmare Before Christmas this month since it’s Christmasy I’d recommend that. #bingers
ARMY!! and he did watch corpse bride, did you see it??
I’m glad you finally watched this movie. I’ve watched this way more times than I can count 😂😂 and the first few times it gave me nightmares but now that I’m older I sympathize with her than feeling like I could be in the same situation.
2 things: 1. Yes l have. 2. The dolls at the end, when she throws them in the fire, they have been stuffed with sand instead Of Cotten, so, that's why the fire was put out as she threw the doll in the fire. So that's why the belldam will all ways... 🥇 WIN.
6:55 an interesting touch here is a double loop in the o can be a sign of deception.
there’s a double loop in the “home” but not the “welcome”.
meaning she’s welcome, but she’s not home.
Watch another masterpiece
"CORPSE BRIDE" you will get the chills its awesome.. 😂❤❤😍
This isn't a Halloween movie, but it's a dark fairytale, and Guillermo Del Toro directed it... so maybe you can find time to do it. PANS LABRIYNTH.
My favourite film ever. It’s perfection.
@@Daaaanielle I love it. People were so upset at the ending but I understood why it ended the way that it did and loved it.
@@shevonneworley9631 upset about the ending how
@@blackqueen7226 I don't want to give away the ending, but if you saw it a lot of people in the theater when I went, were upset about how the movie ended. They didn't understand
@@shevonneworley9631 I have seen the whole movie I know the ending I just wanted to know what you was talking about
Aww I love this movie! 💙 Your notifications truly make my night :)
Me too
Just bo clear, Grandmas sister wasn't the Beldame (the other mother) It was the Ghost of the Girl with the curly hair. She got lured in just like Coraline
one reason I love this movie is cause there’s so many possibilities, theroys, easter eggs etc.
Whoever said this was a children's movie wanted to traumatize some kids for fun....
Fr 😫
Fun fact: this is the VERY watered down version of the book, which was actually too scary to be published as a children's book. The only reason it was? The daughter of the publisher was so terrified she NEEDED to find out the ending, so she lied and said it wasn't scary.
Wow. THIS is the watered down version yikes!
Kids love stuff like this tho
I am one of the victims 😂😭💔I still can't watch the movie
Bro i feel like sh*t rn but when I opened TH-cam and found this right infront of me dk why but felt a little bit better, i love Coraline and can't wait 15 minutes more or something for your video, i hope everyone is having a great day
I hope you feel better soon
fun fact this movie is stop motion just imagine how long it took them to do this movie omg I could never lol
It probably took like 10 yrs or whatever
So I think the Beldam steals their eyes because, you know the phrase 'eyes are the windows to the soul'? So she steals their 'eyes', but their eyes just symbolize their souls.
16:49 Billy's laugh always cracks me up every single time lmaooo
Honestly I think I laugh more when he laughs than at the movies 😂 his laugh just makes you wanna laugh with him
For the Other Spink and Forcible, when they were shouting "Thief! Give it back!" Those are actually their real voices. When they're singing or just speaking normally, they're altered, but their real voices are so creepy, for that one scene, they just said, "let's just use them as is!"
The musical sequences outsold every musical you can think of.
Not better than Hamilton
Okay but if everything was an illusion in the other world, what was Caroline actually eating?
@@megantvenstrup7687 that's an interesting way to look at it. 🤔
I hated wearing my uniform it was originally colored maroon and white but later on changed into the most universally hated colors navy and white. I was forced to wear long ass skirts that would make you trip if you ever have the urge to run (a health hazard at best) I hated wearing skirts even to this day because of them and would always prefer pants over those mess.
Watching the start of this and hearing him say that he would stay there.
Knowing what happens they just sent a huge smile on my face.
