Apparently publishers thought that Coraline was too scary for children to enjoy, so Neil Gaiman had his editor’s child read it. The child said that it wasn’t too scary, so it got published. Years later when Gaiman asked she said that it was terrifying, but she needed to know what happened next. That makes a lot of sense lol.
I remember loving this movie as a kid BECAUSE it was scary. Kids are a lot tougher than some people think. They can handle darker stuff, and some might actually like it because it makes them feel a little braver.
I saw a tweet that said "Coraline is so real. If a demon created a different reality where my mom loved me i’d get trapped there too" and honestly i can relate so much.
I absolutely love how Coraline's parents are written in this movie. They're a realistic portrayal of what overworked parents going through a stressful time are like: they're curt and exasperated when talking with Coraline, but they still maintain a level of care and empathy for her. On the complete opposite end of that spectrum, the Other Mother is a character that only becomes creepier as you get older. She love bombs Coraline from the moment they meet, and she never shows any emotion other than unnatural cheeriness until she fails to pressure Coraline to do something that she's not comfortable with. I think this movie is incredibly important to show to young kids, despite how many nightmares it'll give them. It tells them two important things: - Your parents are people just like everyone else and, although their stress might get the better of them sometimes, they still love you. - Be wary of people who constantly give you everything you want. If something seems too good to be true, then it probably is.
It just gets scarier after you go through child protection training for spotting abuse. It’s a very realistic portrayal of how abusers will lure children in.
I appreciate that once Coraline accepts the drab, gray "real" world, she makes a conscious choice to implement the things she loved about the dream world (friends with her neighbors, making space for Wybie and his grandma, planting colorful flowers in the garden, etc). Making her waking life more beautiful and doing the work to make it somewhere she wants to be.
Fun fact: When the cake spells "Welcome home" in cursive, the "o" in "home" has a double loop. A double-looped letter O means it's a lie. Coraline is welcome, but she isn't home.
To me the buttons for eyes are creepy because the purpose of buttons is to keep things closed, but eyes only work if they are open. Buttons for eyes are literally blindness.
I think this quote from the book perfectly encapsulates the message. The other father is trying to convince Coraline to stay, saying she will get whatever she wants. She replies "I don't want whatever I want. Nobody does. Not really. What kind of fun would it be if I just got everything I ever wanted just like that, and it didn't mean anything? What then?" I love how she says it wouldn’t MEAN anything. Life isn’t about getting everything we want but finding true love and meaning.
having everything I'd want wouldn't include the stuff I don't want, it would be kinda like playing life with mods, not everyone mods everything they can into a game, the real power is the ability to truly choose unhindered but fr the first mod gotta be to remove the creepy ahh parents
This movie is so good. A great introduction to horror for younger viewers, and still absolutely spine-chilling for adults. The stop motion is incredible, Dakota Fanning voices Coraline to perfection, and the Other Mother is perhaps the creepiest animated villain ever.
Another reason why Coraline is legitimately so terrifying, is in all honesty it's a perfect example of a type of grooming. Grooming doesn't always lead to sexual favors... Just look at what the other mother wanted... Yeah, her literal soul.
Is it just me or does stop motion automatically give a movie an unsettling feeling ? It brings stuff alive but in an unnatural way that has always creeped me out a bit. This movie is so good. A great introduction to horror for younger viewers, and still absolutely spine-chilling for adults.
There’s a version of Alice in wonderland made in stop motion and it is the most surreal insane shit ever. They had us watch it at DAYCARE because Alice in wonderland is for kids but this iteration absolutely was not lol
Coraline's parents care about her but they did just move and had a deadline coming up so from the daughter's perspective, they were being neglectful and didn't love her enough but in reality they were just really busy for like a week.
Not to mention the mom is wearing a neckbrace and mentions the family being down a car; which implys at least she was recently in an accident that she hasn't fully healed from
@dantdmfangamingrich9802 so did I at first. Then I heard a comment during a reaction of the movie mention that it says the family had a car totaled recently. I looked closer after that and saw that the top part of the moms "collar" was different than the rest of her sweater. Plus, when the other mothers descise comes off, she takes off a pretend neckbrace. Real mother is probably wearing the turtleneck to hide the neckbrace, but it does not quite do the complete job.
Was 12 yrs old at a sleepover when I first saw Coraline. It was nighttime. Once the credits rolled, my friend ran upstairs in fear to get into her bed while I had to sleep downstairs on the living room couch... in the pitch dark. I kept glancing at the staircase, making sure a little doll wasn't peeking back at me. I'm 22 yrs old now, and watch Coraline with my little sister as a fun activity. When I first showed her Coraline, she was just as scared as me when I first saw it, so I let her sleep in my bed. Eventually, we began to make jokes about Coraline's dad and Bobinski, and now it's one of my all-time favorite movies.
I think the reason why coraline was able to see through the other mother's intentions was because coraline actually liked her real parents. unlike the other victims who were most likely ignored or disregarded by their parents, which made it easier for them to decide to stay with the other mother. What the other mother didnt know was that coraline's parents were just caught at the wrong time, wc made it seem like they they're not decent or good parents. Just a headcannon of mine lol
They probably won’t do a live action Coraline because when the movie was first being made, the original plan was to have it be live action. They did end up shooting a bit of it but decided they didn’t like it and switched over to stop motion because they could play with the frame rate and make it more creepy
I went to the Laika Studios exhibit at the Portland Art Museum a couple years ago. Coolest thing ever! They showcased all their films, sets, characters, the filming process, etc. So much detail goes into these films.
IM LATE! IM LATE! YEARS BEHINED IN PRODUCING MY REMAKE LONG AWAITED SEEMS LIKE I'VE LANDED IN A TIME WHERE NIGHTMARES WAS PG RATED CORALINES A HORRIFYING BORDERLINE RIP-OFF OF ME SO HERE'S A FEW POINTERS YOU BIT OFF YOUR DESIGN AND STORYLINE LIKE A WALRUS CHOMPING ON OYSTERS!
yeah like in the book there was some basement/cellar scene with the other father getting monstrous and chasing Coraline would be so spooky@thorwilhelms9635
Fr. Just because coralline is animated doesn’t mean it needs “fixing” or whyever people insist remakes must be live action. If anything coralline is so distinctive and creepy because of its animation!
I read the book a couple months ago, and there was one passage that was legitimately horrifying to think about. So, remember when Coraline is proposing to Other Mother that they play their "hide and seek" game, where she finds the lost kids souls? This is the passage: "How do I know you'll keep your word?" asked Coraline. "I swear it," said other mother. "I swear it on my own mother's grave" "Does she even have a grave?" asked Coraline. "Oh yes!" said the other mother. "I put her in there myself. And when I found her trying to crawl out, I put her back." Bruh 💀😱
Neil Gaiman is easily one of my favorite authors and all of his work is fantastic. I watched Coraline when I was like 8 and loved it. I still love it, and I've seen his other work like good omens and American gods. It's all fantastic.
the ending bit of movies having subscribe messages reminded me of a funny story. Last year i took a video class where we had to make little short films. One kid did a horror thing about his girlfriend being kidnapped, ended it with a frame of text explaining that she died off screen and then followed up with a "thanks for watching" preset.
I'm so sad coraline is gone from netflix, so our family is unable to watch it now. I loved the movie so much I would watch it basically every week. I love how the movie doesn't censor itself or try to tone it down for kids watching, it's just showing exactly what it needs to show.
Coraline is one of my favorite stopmotion films! Hell in all honesty it's one of the few stopmotion films that I actually like other than ParaNorman. Because I'm not that big a fan of stopmotion stuff I mean I don't hate it but I can definitely appreciate it because like all animation stopmotion is a form of art.
Fun facts about coralline: Face on the Dollar Bill was the director’s The name of the other mother “the bedlam” is (to me) a reference to the real life pagan god “balamm” In the book the corridor and other mother’s dimension was part of a greater, eldritch horror older than time The car her mum has is a Volkswagen bug, keeping up with the bug theme of the film like the wallpaper which was also bug themed The cat was originally human and had warned the kids in the past Wybie was not in the book The first scene in the other world’s showroom was too much for TH-cam and gets people demonetised. The songs were sung in a made up language, a mix of Swedish, German and more The two loops in O on the welcome home cake signify a lie in a binary (I think) language.
Small correction, it’s actually “beldam” not “bedlam”. From what I can find they’re witches of old folklore (starting somewhere in the 17th century) who lure children away to eat them and who’s true form is spider-like, very much like the other mother.
Did you know at 5:18 the "welcome home" cake features a double loop on the O. According to Graphology, a double loop on a lower case O means that the person who wrote it is lying. There is only one double loop, meaning she is welcome but she is not home.
I watched Coraline as a child. I was in the 4th grade and our teacher said alright since you already took your final tests for the year(she didn’t exactly say that but something of the sort) we’re going to watch a movie,me and the teacher next door got some for you to choose from. Which one do you want to watch?We held a vote on which movie to watch. None of us had ever heard of Coraline so we decided to give that one a watch and since then I have been scarred for life.
The beginning segment of the doll’s creation is actually similar to that of embalming, which is horrifying in the context of what the Other Mother wanted from Coraline
The reason Coraline is so unsettling feeling is because of The Uncanny Valley aswell as Automatonophobia. Its not just the buttons for eyes but the stop motion of the film gives the unsettling feeling of the uncanny Valley as there is something off with the behaviour expressions and movements of all of the Creatures something not quite natural feeling. And then with the Automatonophobia aspect of "the others" being that they look human but they are not, it sets off the fight or fight parts of our brain "they look like us but they are not us."
No matter what I will always feel bad for the Other-Father. He cared for Caroline. Because he was made that way, but he has a mind of his own compared to the Other-Mother’s creations. He genuinely loved her, He tried To warn Coraline, And didn’t want to hurt her. Along with Other-Whyborn. I can only Imagine what his fate was at the hands of the Other-Mother.
You guys should watch ParaNorman. Coraline might be the single most horrifying film by Laika Studios to this day, but ParaNorman still holds a place closer to my heart thanks to its well-paced humour and genuinely profound messages.
Fun Fact:Coraline is originally going to be a live action film but was changed to a stop motion animated film is because of the budget issues on attempting to make it live action
One thing no one asked about is how did the other mother know what Coralines friends from Michigan should like? If her only way of seeing the real world is through the doll’s eyes.
as a kid this movie never scared me and I loved it but now it freaks me out lol, its still one of my favs but damn. idk where I saw it, but since she had slept and ate in the other world, she technically never actually left. She got stuck in the other world and the cat disappearing at the end also helps this theory, so the other mother is just harassing her for longer but 🤷♂ anyway love this movie and love the reaction
coraline smashing the bugs in the shower with her bare hands on sight is probably THE MOST BRILLIANT bit of foreshadowing in this movie, it immediately shows us that she HATES bugs and WILL kill them "straight men can like Olivia Rodrigo" wait you're straight Jack? Sure, Jan. (EDIT THIS IS A FUCKING JOKE DON'T COME FOR ME PLS I LOVE THEY BOYS AND I REALLY DON'T CARE ABOUT THEIR SEXUALITIES TIS JUST A JEST)
Another great movie for the Milk Team to watch, thanks for giving us another great reaction “I’d give a standing ovation, but I can’t do that right now.” is just so good of a comment with the context that he unzipped his pants and it’s so good
I've always loved this movie ever since it came out back in 2009 when I was 9. My older sister loves this movie because she read the book years before the movie.
I've been watching horror movies for kids and adults since the day I was born. Messed me up as a kid but now I can't get enough lol, especially Coraline.
YES YEEES they watched peak lets go. I got to see this movie rerun in theaters recently!!! Absolutely awesome experience, this movie means sm to me so it was kinda surreal getting to see it on the big screen
I was like Kor too. I was like 6-8 years old and would watch this movie 24/7. I never understood how others would say they were terrified by this movie, little me was MESMERIZED by it! This shit a CLASSIC!
I read the book and watched the movie and had to do a report on the differences between the two and it single handedly made me pass 6th grade. Got some extra credit too. Love this film.
@@Lesss15it’s pretty different. For starters it’s more dark with inclusion of blood and such and there is no Wybie. The book is more disturbing in my opinion and there are several differences
Love this movie! Neil Gaiman actually wanted to collab with Henry Selick on the movie because he was a fan of Nightmare Before Christmas and James and the Giant Peach. Movie Recommendation: Trick r Treat (2007)
Bro the two old women fused together scared me as a kid. I had night terrors about Coraline pulling out the soul from the two fused bodies and then the dog bats eating them.
YALL PLEASE WATCH PARANORMAN!! ITS MY FAVORITE FROM LAIKA(personally I like paranorman more than coralline but I may be a teensy bit biased) and also I think the humor is something you guys would enjoy
The earliest memory I have with this movie is watching a recording of it on my grandpa's tv. He always used to find random animated movies on TV (they were always on starz for some reason) and he'd record them for me. I remember being so afraid of the scene where the other mother bangs on the door and it keeps getting closer just because of how real her screams sounded! Great film. I watch it every October. You guys should watch ParaNorman next!
Like seeing coralines mom with a smile at the end looks so weird and yea she's like "well it seems our daughter was traumatised so lets go out tonight" that's such a real dysfunctional family thing I got whiplash.
“The other mother might be evil but she at least believes in the power of consent” And that’s how I realized that even the freaking other mother is a better person than Valentino. LOL
I remember seeing Coraline at a sleepover when I was 9 years old. I had nightmares for a week after seeing it! No one told me how scary animated movies could be! Now, it doesn’t scare me anymore, but I think it’s still unsettling..

Exactly. It's very important that they're not abusive, their just in a rough spot right now.
It just gets scarier after you go through child protection training for spotting abuse. It’s a very realistic portrayal of how abusers will lure children in.
Well i watched it at 9 and I just thought her parents were boring and Coraline was insane for staying with Other Mother I didn’t really learn anything

To me the buttons for eyes are creepy because the purpose of buttons is to keep things closed, but eyes only work if they are open. Buttons for eyes are literally blindness.

One thing no one asked about is how did the other mother know what Coralines friends from Michigan should like? If her only way of seeing the real world is through the doll’s eyes.
She had a picture of them on her nightstand
@2:30
It’s funny how they say Coraline is like if Lilo never met Stitch & Dakota Fanning actually voiced Lilo in “Stitch has a glitch”
This movie scarred me for life. It's very cool and the other mother is terrifying
as a kid this movie never scared me and I loved it but now it freaks me out lol, its still one of my favs but damn. idk where I saw it, but since she had slept and ate in the other world, she technically never actually left. She got stuck in the other world and the cat disappearing at the end also helps this theory, so the other mother is just harassing her for longer but 🤷♂ anyway love this movie and love the reaction
coraline smashing the bugs in the shower with her bare hands on sight is probably THE MOST BRILLIANT bit of foreshadowing in this movie, it immediately shows us that she HATES bugs and WILL kill them
"straight men can like Olivia Rodrigo" wait you're straight Jack? Sure, Jan.
(EDIT THIS IS A FUCKING JOKE DON'T COME FOR ME PLS I LOVE THEY BOYS AND I REALLY DON'T CARE ABOUT THEIR SEXUALITIES TIS JUST A JEST)
RAGHHHH!!!!!! DON’T CARE + I LOVE OLIVIA RODRIGO + CURSE OF THE SHOWER!!!!!!

Now..Paranorman is a must watch! I consider it a must after watching Coraline from the same company
For another spooky stop motion film, I HEAVILY suggest The Nightmare Before Christmas. Its sort of a musical so id love to see your reactions to it💀👻
I agree, only difficulty is that most of the movie is musical, which would get claimed, so they couldn't leave much in the YT clips 🤔
Another great movie for the Milk Team to watch, thanks for giving us another great reaction
“I’d give a standing ovation, but I can’t do that right now.” is just so good of a comment with the context that he unzipped his pants and it’s so good
I've always loved this movie ever since it came out back in 2009 when I was 9. My older sister loves this movie because she read the book years before the movie.
I've been watching horror movies for kids and adults since the day I was born. Messed me up as a kid but now I can't get enough lol, especially Coraline.
The most Tim Burton movie not even directed by Tim Burton
And an honest to god masterpiece 🙌
0:04 I guess it did age poorly...like milk...spilled milk, if you will...
YES YEEES they watched peak lets go. I got to see this movie rerun in theaters recently!!! Absolutely awesome experience, this movie means sm to me so it was kinda surreal getting to see it on the big screen
I was like Kor too. I was like 6-8 years old and would watch this movie 24/7. I never understood how others would say they were terrified by this movie, little me was MESMERIZED by it! This shit a CLASSIC!
If you think this masterpiece is scary and creepy (which is), wait till you read the book
*Coraline shaking Wybie's arm in excitement*: She's practically naked!
Me: *insert homophobic dog meme* 🤨🏳🌈❓
YES! This is my FAVORITE movie ever! As a kid i never was scared I would just search for a little door in my house. XD
I read the book and watched the movie and had to do a report on the differences between the two and it single handedly made me pass 6th grade. Got some extra credit too. Love this film.
You guys should totally watch more movies by Lika, specifically Boxtrolls or Paranorman!
This is without a doubt my favorite stop-motion feature. It isn't the best, I'll admit it. But to say I still enjoy it is an understatement.
As a person who lived in Michigan for years and is autistic this video made me feel attacked and that is hilarious
The Detroit jokes were great
10:07 bruh that jack ice spice cosplay is more scarier than the movie 💀
Sometimes you have to sacrifice a couple kids to make an omelette
As much as I love Laika's animation and take on Coraline, I'd also love to see a more faithful adaptation of the book at some point too.
How different is the book from the movie? Ive been thinking about reading it.
@@Lesss15it’s pretty different. For starters it’s more dark with inclusion of blood and such and there is no Wybie. The book is more disturbing in my opinion and there are several differences
so glad you're finally watching this. one of my favourite stop motion animated movies.
I love how wholesome this video was. It made me happy
Fun Fact : The voice actor for the cat in this movie is now Husk from Hazbin Hotels, new va
Wait whaaaa??
@artistanthony1007 he also voices Dr. Facilier from the Princess and the frog, his name is Keith David and he's a really talented va
Bobinsky has a medal of the Liquidators who worked in Chernobyl after reactor 4 explosion to clear up the waste
Yall should also watch Paranorman! Its a GREAT halloween movie too! Personally its one of my favorite movies too
I loved Coraline as a child, my mom said I watched it everyday for an entire summer in elementary school
i remember i would always watch Coraline with my older sister when i little so it’s such a nostalgic movie for me.
This movie has a special place in my heart
Love this movie! Neil Gaiman actually wanted to collab with Henry Selick on the movie because he was a fan of Nightmare Before Christmas and James and the Giant Peach.
Movie Recommendation: Trick r Treat (2007)
Bro the two old women fused together scared me as a kid. I had night terrors about Coraline pulling out the soul from the two fused bodies and then the dog bats eating them.
YALL PLEASE WATCH PARANORMAN!! ITS MY FAVORITE FROM LAIKA(personally I like paranorman more than coralline but I may be a teensy bit biased) and also I think the humor is something you guys would enjoy
I love Coraline! One of my favorite movies as a kid and still one of my favorite movies as an adult
6:13 Bobinsky's medal was granted for service at the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, so that could explain his design.
Finally, now I just need them to watch 9.
The reference to Metamorphosis was so unexpected
I’m so glad Spilling the Milk did their research on shades of green before this, otherwise I’d point and laugh at Eden forever.
U guys should watch 9 next it’s one of my favorite creepy looking animated movies
I distinctly remember my dad audibley saying "Jesus christ" during the opera scene
The earliest memory I have with this movie is watching a recording of it on my grandpa's tv. He always used to find random animated movies on TV (they were always on starz for some reason) and he'd record them for me. I remember being so afraid of the scene where the other mother bangs on the door and it keeps getting closer just because of how real her screams sounded!
Great film. I watch it every October. You guys should watch ParaNorman next!
Fun fact the medal bobaski is wearing is for people that helped with Chernobyl
The beginning scene was always my fave cause of how satisfying it is
Don't diss my boy Mr Bobinsky. He was a Chernobyl Liquidator and a national hero.
18:28, had me rolling on the floor it was so funny. Eden is hilarious
4:45 Mice with tails that stand up are called jumping mice. Their tails are erect naturally to help them jump to higher places
Nice my friend did send me a video of him feeding one of those fellas
I WAS LITERALLY JUST LOOKING FOR THIS TO SEE IF YALL DID IT THANK YOUUUUUUU
Everyone else: the Other Mother is such a baddie.
People of culture: Damn those old strip sisters are FINE!
This was my comfort movie when I was younger , and it still is .
HAPPY HALOWEEN KOR!!!
Like seeing coralines mom with a smile at the end looks so weird and yea she's like "well it seems our daughter was traumatised so lets go out tonight" that's such a real dysfunctional family thing I got whiplash.
The movie still holds up today.
A family friend actually worked on the pink palace, I love this movie.
This is definitely an educational movie about how to sew
3:27 POV: the editor hearing sirens outside his house after googling "pictures of 12 year old girls"
spoiler: this video did not come out on halloween
“The other mother might be evil but she at least believes in the power of consent”
And that’s how I realized that even the freaking other mother is a better person than Valentino. LOL
Legend has it if this video gets 15k likes Spilling Milk will bless us with free supply of quality milk
I remember seeing Coraline at a sleepover when I was 9 years old. I had nightmares for a week after seeing it! No one told me how scary animated movies could be!
Now, it doesn’t scare me anymore, but I think it’s still unsettling..
