I've played the console version MANY times, and I've found out that the ghost children ARE in the game, but you can only visit them when collecting the ghost eyes. You have to go into the house and go to the hallway mirror before collecting the 3rd ghost eye, and an interact promt should should show up. That lets you see the ghost kids. They only have a few voice lines, and can play Tic-tac-toe with them, and that's about it. Oh, and the spy doll was also found in the files, but went unused. I don't think that they weren't allowed to put certain things in, considering the DS version, but I do think that it was rushed to hell and back just to get it out in time before the movie.
I had this game when I was younger and I NEVER got passed the part when you needed to collect the ghost eyes because of the outrageous controls to defeat the bosses!
@@kaliyahc9171 I was half joking, it actually depends on what you are animating. I've seen people dedicate a year to make 30 seconds of incredible animation, there are also people who take a week for 20-30 seconds for a very simple and quiet moment, it depends on the complexity of the scene, a fight scene with multiple characters is not gonna take the same as a guy sleeping alone in his bed quietly.
@@kaliyahc9171not sure about coraline but I remember when talking about kubo and the two strings from the same studio it took about a week to do 3-7 seconds of animation So I'd say probably a second or half a second per day
I'm actually a little surprised this hasn't been brought up yet, but for the DS version specifically there are actually parts of the game that are directly taken, NOT from the movie, but from the ORIGINAL BOOK!! For example, Coraline dreaming of rats chanting an eerie song is not present in the film, but is from the original book, and perhaps even the doll being absent in the Wii version is also a nod to the book, which never actually had the doll to begin with. Rats were instead used to spy on Coraline in the real world, and they do the other mothers bidding. The other world dogs also speak in the book, and enjoy eating chocolate, which if I remember correctly was also included in the DS version! Just a super interesting detail I really wanted to share, I remember being super stoked to find elements from the book present in the DS game when I tried it last year :-3c (Also I would HIGHLY recommend anyone interested to check out the original novel for Coraline, a ton of major events differ from the film, but if you love the movie you'll probably love the book too!)
I’m really sorry, and I don’t mean this in a rude way or anything, it were the rats chasing coraline in the book? I’m probably wrong, and I haven’t read the book in a while, but I don’t remember a scene where the rats chase coraline. BUT, all the other stuff is true, the dogs did eat chocolate and speak, and the rats did do the other mother’s bidding. ;p
Dakota Fanning also reprised her role as Coraline in the game, too. Yep, all the budget went to her and Keith David. Additional fun fact: the studio that did this game would then do Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion. Yes, CN's attempt at a Super Smash Bros. clone witht he wonky hit detection that apperantly had an awkward production.
Fun fact: They Might Be Giants (the “Istanbul was Constantinople” guys, but also my favourite band of all time) was originally hired to make the score for the film. Sadly, they were fired, and only two songs survived. The first song, the one the Other Father sings (“Making up a song about Coraline”) was kept in the film, and the second, Careful What You Pack was slightly re-written and put on The Else.
IIRC most of these licenced games are made based on an earlier draft of the production they are based on in order to have them done at the same time it realeses. Some examples of this are the Jimmy Neutron Games which use the old Cindy character design, or the Ben 10 Games, which in Cosmic Destruction's interview with the devs they mentioned they had to change the designs of multiple characters as the show kept changing behind the scenes. With this being based on a movie and not a show, I guess they used an earlier draft of the script where some stuff were left out (like the ghost kids or the twist ending) or had to be added late in production. Im not a professional on this tho, so I could be wrong
Fun fact: i had the DS and WII coraline games as a child and because i finished them 4 times over each.. my mother sold them for $15 each on facebook marketplace... i'm still mad ngl..
I find it funny that foafy coincidentally makes a video about Pratically every single one of my interests (and I literally just watched coraline for the first time 2 weeks ago and I’m rightfully obsessed with it.)
Stop-motion is such a great way to make animation Fantastic Mr.Fox is one of my favorite movies of all time and Henry Selleck is an amazing stop-motion director
I love this movie, but even as an adult, it freaks me tf out. 😨 I have a … small phobia? Sensitivity? to distorted voices, and all the stuff when coraline’s being chased/hunted by the “other” characters just sends my brain on edge. 😬 Still love it tho. The cat is best boi (and also is Husker from Hazbin Hotel!!!) and the other dads song is dope. 💜
i was soooo obsessed with this game as a kid bc i absolutely loved the movie to bits! the movie didn't scare me, but this game REALLY scared me. those "dream sequences" were freaky as hell, and i found it hard as a kid to get through them. i grinded out all the minigames as well though and got enough buttons to get all the unlockables in the game and the final QTE cutscenes in the end were one of the toughest things ive ever done in a video game tbh. but after hard work and perseverance im proud to say i beat this game as a kid.
The ghost children and the mirror room are actually in the Playstation and Wii version of the game. Go to the mirror during the last act where you have to find the ghost children (It's possible to enter the house) and interact with the mirror. They only do a brief recap of what happened to them in two to three sentences and you can play tic tac toe with them. But they're in.
If a game sold really really poorly on initial release, then not many copies were made, thus any that are left are rare. If people decades later decide they want the game now, then there's only a few legit copies to go around, thus supply and demand dictate they must be expensive.
I saw coraline with my parents when i was like 8. It like traumatised me and was like really scary, so we skipped to the end, and the ending wasnt even that good. Ive been wanting to see it again tho
Hear me out. We need a full on big budget Coraline game. Maybe even a horror game where you're playing in first person as Coraline through the story and all her scary encaounters with the Beldam.
12:08 That actually could be possible. Something similar happened with the Spongebob movie game. Due to the game coming out before the movie, the devs weren't allowed to use movie footage to avoid too many spoilers.
It is possible that for some movie tie-in games to use an early draft version of the movie to make the game because some movie studios do this as the game has to come out around the of the movie. So the game would have missing story beats as it was an early draft. For the Wii version of Coraline. The DS development might have the final draft of the movie so it got lucky. Can't say much for the gameplay though...
Why would they release the game before the movie? I mean, if theyre so worried about spoilers just release it after the movie is released . It'll give them more time to make the cutscenes and things. They cut out the lost ghost kids and (since he didnt mention it?) the parents being "trapped" The dream action actually seems fun tho. I wouldve died so much as a human-worm-baby fetus. THE BLACK CAT JUMPSCARE HAS ME WHEEZING IM GONA CRY ??? LMAO HAHHRHJSKJSKJSK
I thought you were going to talk about the Inkagames/Mazniac fan game called Coraline and the Secret Door. Not only was it a very good point and click adventure by a really fantastic indie team, but it really held up well when compared to the movie.
Cutscene really is a bit generous, considering games like The Spiderwick Chronicles and Fight Club didn't bother with animated cutscenes (the latter especially, the former does have cutscenes, and some are slide shows mixed with film clips). And yes, there actually is a video game adaptation of The Spiderwick Chronicles, although not based on the books, but rather based on the film that was produced by Nickelodeon.
Crazy to think this was recommended to me. The way i see it, the DS game followed the movie way more closely while the console version included snippets of the story as its being told in the book. Coraline doesn't go in the barn in the movie, that's only in the book. The dream sequences i'm pretty sure are based on parts from the book. Also odd you didn't show the end credit for the DS game because we see a completely different version of Coraline without the blue hair and a different hair clip, perhaps Coraline in the movie wasn't supposed to even have blue hair at all.
you wanna know what's weird? when my cousin was, like, 6, his favorite movie was coraline. like, he would get a little upset about something, and he would straight up ask his parents if he could watch coraline to calm him down, and his parents were just like "eh, sure, why not," and honestly? he's a good kid. he even got into clay modeling! then I watched the movie, and then my obsession with HORROR began!

Bro, nightmare before Christmas is a cult classic, I had a birthday based around this movie, and I still have some chalk drawings on my basement walks of the tree doors
huh the wii game MIGHT be good evidence for a Coraline theory. The theory that claims the other world with the other mother is at the bottom of the well. The hand in Coralines dream 6:40 during the cutsecen comes out of the well.
my younger cousin (like 5) cried when he saw his shadow but could watch coraline with a huge grin while i'm disturbed and thinking about going to other planets 😭
