Hi all! 🫶 this video got demonetized so I’m not sure how long it’ll stay up! Thinking of making a Patreon so you’ll still have access to videos that TH-cam takes down! Also because ya girl has to make a living from these hours of editing 🥲 Let me know what you think! I love reading your comments!
Aw man I really hope you keep it up. But I also understand why you'd take it down and I wish you all the monetization in the world! Gotta make that $$$
I'd love for you to continue to make a living....but that is what normal jobs are for! Making money from TH-cam is fine for some pocket change, but if you're relying on it to put food on the table and to pay your rent - then you may want to re-think your life very very carefully.
She has brown hair in the picture because she’s dyed her hair … Also apparently the opening scene to Coraline isn’t a sewing kit… it’s an embalming kit… it is used on dead people (like sewing mouths etc..). Her whole process is how u would do it to a dead body…
You just blew my third eye wide tf open. I never even considered how close the doll-making process was to embalming a body... I'd go a step further and say the process is close to taxidermy, (the same way the actresses have their dogs stuffed...?) You cut them open, drain them of all their previous lifeblood, stuff them with something new, and make all the cosmetic adjustments you need, and then set them in new clothes...
I hate hearing theories of Coraline never leaving the other world, scares me even more than the movie did growing up with it even though it's still my favorite of all time
It scares me too but that was the first thing I thought of on my first watch 🥲 I hadn’t even seen anything about it on the internet at the time. this movie stays being the scariest movie I’ve ever seen lol
In the book right before she escapes, Coraline sees her real parents waiting for her in the doorway but then she notices that everything switches right before she reaches it. She decides not to question it. However, the author (Neil) states the moral message is that you can overcome evil so I'm still confused.
Other fun details: Other Father's entire song is a warning to Coraline, the only way he can think of to try and tell her what's going on. In the Other dining room there are silhouette portraits of three children, representing the previous victims. And lastly, something not mentioned by the movie but in the book, is that Other Mother doesn't control the tunnel. She found it, it acts on its own, _and she is terrified of it._
@@humantoon Because it's _alive._ It's far more powerful than she is and it frightens her terribly because she has no control over it and doesn't even know why it's doing what it does. But she knows it can think.

When the mother screams, “I’ll die without you!” That shit scare the crap out of me when I was kid, gave me nightmares, and now it’s one of my favorite scenes in any movie.

@@jimin6813 For me it’s the way she screams it. She’s not simply saying it she’s screaming it, viscerally, and the imagery of the door getting closer and closer, the green light and the dark tiny claustrophobic tunnel. Those things combined just make for a really scary moment.
I actually saw something about Coraline, and why she’s in this bright yellow rain coat and everything is dull and depressing. It is all because Coraline is a child with an active imagination; her parents have moved her to this new house that she doesn’t like, with weird neighbours and nothing to do so she sees the world like that while her imagination makes up a world with bright colours, and a happy family, and stuff that makes her happy. It all comes back to the other mother making her perfect world, which in turn connects to her imagination. And yet, when Coraline starts to get creeped out and realise that the other world isn’t as brilliant as she thought the colours start to fade. It’s such an interesting and amazing concept to think about, and my hat goes off to the creators cause this was truly a piece of art.
It's basically IT for kids *sob* most of Pennywise's victims were tricked into thinking he was a normal guy with balloons that float - like when he was trying to convince Georgie the circus bleeeeeewww him away and made him even SMELL the circus, only to change in a split second, leaving Georgie only a moment to realize what a terror of a creature he had encountered before dying
No because everything you pointed out with the "real world" changing slightly every time she "wakes up" is so creepy. All of your theories make perfect sense and they genuinely make the movie so much better because it's even more terrifying. The idea of her never actually escaping because they just sent the key right back to the other mother is horrifying. Also all of these edits are hilarious!! I love it!!
I made a comment on another video about how I theorized Coraline did escape but still sent the key back to the other mother. Here's my thought process: 1. The parents aren't really acting any different after they come back. The biggest reason they were neglectful in the beginning of the movie was because of their job, which they finished while in the snow globe. I think we've all been in a place where you neglect other things in favor of 1 thing. The best example sadly being an addiction. Whether it's work, drugs or the famous World of War Crack people have been shown to be dedicated to something to satisfied and forgo other responsibilities. So, their behavior change is more of "We're sorry for not being around" then suspicious. Still not healthy but that's humans for yah. 2. The other mother is confident and with good reason. She's had 3 victims and none of them have gotten away. So, she's gotten pretty cocky. If she hadn't then: 3. She would have just snatched Coraline that 1st night rather than wait for her to come willing.... though maybe it's the willingness of the victim she's after🤔 4. The cat can talk in the other world but not in the real world. He can't talk in the last part of the movie. 5. The other world is meant to be a storybook world where everything's prefect, including the weather. Weathers happening in the ending. 6. the ghost children are set free. If this was all the other mothers doing, she wouldn't even let Coraline know about them. Thinking your alone is scarier than knowing there were previous victims. 7. I'm sure some people are saying "the other mother can reshape things" and i agree but you're missing 2 things: A: She can't MAKE things. Even that moment of her copying Coraline's real mom was her already having the look down pat. B: How long has it been since her last meal? I wouldn't be surprised if she was running low on power. She even said so herself "I'LL DIE WITHOUT YOU" But hey, that's just a theory. A CORALINE THEORY Thanks for reading.
yup thank you for this. i never really supported the theory that she stayed in the other world simply bc the other mother NEEDS to see what coraline hates about her life so she could “fix” it. Also ik she wasn’t shopping with the doll but i’m willing to bet that it still knew either bc it was actually in that scene but inside of their shopping bag or something (unlikely but whatever) or she complained to it about not getting the clothes after getting home. Or there was that time she brought up the gloves right before her real mother left for groceries (she was in the house but i can’t recall the details of that scene so idk if the doll was there).
@renoirrr 🤔 the doll does seem to move (shown by the 1 scene where it was looking at Coraline and Wybie and the cat growled at it), so if Coraline said it in the house at all its possible the doll heard.
One of the best things about this film is that you don't know it's a horror film going into it. Sure, it has some of those vibes from the intro, Wybie being silent, the cat's warnings, and the recreations of the apartment residents are eerie in a way, but it's mostly fun and games. Then the button scene happens. And the tone changes completely. Now we realize this world isn't a candy store of wonder and delight - it's a mousetrap.
perfectly said😊 (i kinda wish i hadn't given my family so much of a heads up when introducing them to this movie so the reveal would've had more of an impact now😢)
Me,my brothers and my parents loved this movie😂 when we first watched it was on tv and we were at the end and we thought that the other mother was her real mom😭
10:06 This is my theory actually. Outside the Pink Palace, the Beldam created "3 wonders," she has 3 children's eyes. I think their eyes give her the ability to generate more world, hence she was able to create 3 wonders out of their 3 sets of eyes. Why else would she keep the eyes around? And keep one pair of eyes in each of the "wonders"? (One in Bobinsky's place, one in the actresses' place, and one in the garden) I think the eyes are hidden in plain sight in each location because they act like batteries, like generators, powering their respective locations. That's why when they were removed, their land unravels and all that's left by the end is the Pink Palace.
When I was 5 it scared me, I remember watching it on the couch with my family on Halloween night, the 3D version, in the dark with purple and green lights. It was a mood. That was a decade ago now and I remember it very vividly. Pretty sure I had nightmares about it, but I still watched it. I’ve always liked creepy things.
Me to my little son (when he was embracing his younger sister hiding her face on his side, often telling her when it is safe to watch again): are you not scared watching this? He replied: no, not really. And I like to be scared anyway. 😅
Same here!! I might be considered a bit 'old' as I saw this when it came out and I was 15. But I absolutely loved it, I love horror even as a kid, so this movie didn't phase me at all. It thrilled me to core, to this day.
Welp. That "Never made it out" theory is actually one I'd never heard before, and when I tell you it's been rattling around in the back of my brain for the past few days?? Bruh. That idea is sending chills down my back fr. I never realized how plausible it could be, what with the room changing around her and all that. That being said, here are a few counterpoints I came up with to that theory -so I could sleep at night again- - Her mom takes her to the store. We've seen that the Other Mother's world is rather puny, and she can likely only create a "Wonder" for each pair of children's eyes she has. Unless we are to believe that her powers being limited was a trick all along and she can actually generate _infinite terrain,_ I believe that generating an entire city full of buildings and people would be beyond her capabilities. - The ghost of the children visit Coraline in the end, thanking her for saving them and reiterating that she's still alive and the only danger is that she has the key on her. Unless we are to believe that A) the ghost children were fake all along or B) The Other Mother can _alter people's dreams,_ then Coraline _must_ have transported the children's eyes out of the Other World by leaving herself. - The Ghost children claim that the Other Mother only locked them in their room and "ate up their lives" _AFTER_ they agreed to let her sew the buttons. So unless we believe one of the previous catches, the Other Mother would have no reason to keep Coraline in the Other World if she couldn't actually take her eyes and eat her life. - My opinion is that making Coraline _believe_ that she went home is too elaborate a plan for the Other Mother to have enacted. Not that she _couldn't_ enact it, it's just that... why would she? The other 3 children admitted that they willfully returned for more and willfully agreed to have the buttons sewn in, so why wouldn't she just let Coraline go home to her drab normal life and then return to the better world at night of her own free will? Why would the Other Mother expect this that this child would be any different from the last 3 and not just take up her offer immediately? Hence, the only night she _didn't_ return Coraline to her real room was the night Coraline rejected her and clearly planned to run away without returning. - Working off that last point, IF the Beldam WAS rearranging the furniture the whole time, then after Coraline initially rejects the buttons, the Beldam could've just... rearranged the furniture again that night and let Coraline believe _then and there_ that she made it home, end of story. She never would've had to worry about the ghosts being found or any extra annoyances, the problem of Coraline trying to run away would be solved. Unless maybe she wanted another shot at convincing Coraline to let her sew the buttons, but then if she NEEDS to sew the buttons in then that once again begs the question: what point would she have in letting Coraline _believe_ she escaped if she's never gonna get to sew the buttons in and eat her life?
What happened when coraline first rejected the sew buttons in eyes trick actually was forced, because the beldam was hungry and clearly desperate to survive. The beldam could've sewn in the button eyes and trapped her there permanently, therefore why we see a picture of coraline have brown hair instead of blue. Or the beldam waits until she tricks coraline when she older making her think she needs glasses. By then fooling coraline into the buttons being placed in her eyes without fully knowing.
@@AninRose8 I think Coraline would _know_ if someone tried to sew buttons into her eyes, that should be PAINFUL. Furthermore, I think that Coraline _needs_ to give some sort of consent to have the buttons sewn in. Think about it, if the Beldam could just sew buttons into the eyes of anyone at all at any time, why bother with trying to please them and give them everything they want? She could've just taken Coraline's eyes the moment Coraline crawled into her dimension, end of story. Clearly she's luring them in for a reason, I think she can't take their eyes unless they give them away willingly. And further futhermore, I don't think the Beldam could've just kept her there "until she was older" because I think the Beldam is _hungry._ I think generating a whole world takes energy. We can see when she runs out of energy that the fake world starts to fade, the other father starts to melt into his original form (a pumpkin) and things don't work like they're supposed to. I think that, like any spider, there's only so long she can go without food. I don't think she has the energy to keep up that facade of a fake world for the rest of Coraline's life.
1:52 I never even thought of the fact that coraline was experiencing this literally the SECOND day in her new home If it was me and I saw that you’d best believe I would think the house cursed my parents 😭💀
ill never get tired of coraline theories, i love finding new things when i watch it and ive watched it over 100 times and its like theres always something new
I loved this movie so much…but you DO have a point about how the characters changed and how the Beldam did things. Your theories kinda made sense rlly.
Honestly took me getting older to realize that the parents were trying to have her best intrests in mind they were just so damn tired and overworked. Another thing is I have a suspicion that the reason they had like no real food, or baught her nice things is because they had no money and literally HAD to finish that catalog by a deadline. Real life is hard man lol.
I just bought the original book and the theory of Coraline, possibly still being in the other world is making me want to read this book even more. And when I tell you, I know this book is going to be scary. It has a couple of pictures and they’re absolutely horrifying
My grandmother took me to see this in theatres when it first came out and i was like 3 or 4 years old, because she thought it was a kid's movie. I don't remember it at all, but apparently she walked out with me the instant the other mother brought out the buttons lol. I haven't seen the full movie in a while but this makes me want to watch it again!
I was a timid child, and one day mum brought this dvd to me. Unfortunately, I was too curious for my own good and watched it to the end. Needless to say I ran crying to my mum, who shrugged me off as being "too scared to watch anything". Days passed, and I don't feel as scared anymore and asked my mum to watch it again. To my surprise, she had already watched it to see what's going on and said, "No, I've burnt that thing"
The real reason Why the time stops when the cat appears is because the other mother is terrified of the cat. This was in the coraline Book. Awsome Video ❤️
And wait until you read the book. There's no lovey dovey wolrd, it's dark from the beginning, she doesn't have anyone and is basically alone (apart from Cat), other father is basically just this big living sandy sack that's modeled by the other mother when she needs to and she's way more terrifying
@@Ashesdragons48 that scene is one of the scariest in my opinion, like the fact he doesn't want to harm Coraline but he's basically a puppet in the others mother's hands so he's forced to is just terrifying. I still can't understand how that book is for children lmao
Not my childhood getting more and more crushed with every theory that made sense 💀 I’m a believer now, you broke that down better than any TH-camr that spends 40 minuets on a theory could
I've always been creeped out by the opening scene where the Other mother took off the cotton stuffing (the child's soul?) from the doll, threw it away, turned around the doll's skin and then filled it with another stuffing of her choice. The sheer violence of that scene. I might be projecting a lot here, in fact I've never heard anyone talk about it, but I've always considered the Other Mother a sort of stand in for an abusive parent, who wants to make a puppet out of her own daughter, preying on her inexperience and guilt tripping her. It's incredible, how different people can get completely different ideas from the very same movie.
So, about the mittens and the shop theory, if you look close enough, when the mother says "Maybe she should buy them then." you can see a woman through the window, which makes the same sing with her finger pointing to her eyes, just like the Beldam does when Coraline asks her for clues about her parents.
I remember reading the book when I was 12 or so with my own dad, and let me tell you the other father scene is NIGHTMARE FUEL. Coraline descends a spiral staircase into a stone basement with slick walls and moldy floors and the fight with the other father happens in this small, confined space as this thing basically melts before her.
Gosh I’m so happy to did this video ! I was traumatized by this movie when I was younger (like so many kids I suppose 😅) but after growing up I realized how good it is even if it’s literally an horror movie for kids ! The first time we saw the other mom with her buttons eyes is terrifying, it’s definitely my least favorite scene😢
Love the idea of she never actually beat the other mother, she's just dead, she lost the game... the button timer never actually stopped, the cat never helped her, it's just the last moments of her brain protecting her from the truth
I personally don’t agree with the theory cause remember coraline parents didn’t have a lot of money so that’s why they barely show any attention to her and didn’t get her a lot of things but the other world is suppose to portray all of the things coraline wanted and I believe coraline was dreaming the first counter and remember the other mother is witch cause that’s beldam means so like what if she actually did counter her in a dream magically made her poison oak gone and she always that the wear plushie with a button she and idk what animal it is but I love the theories and love the editing it made me laugh 😂
There’s a theory that other mother only had the bodies of the three children, which she used to make Other Father, and Other Spink/Forcible, but she since didn’t have any other bodies to use, that’s why Other Mr.B is made of rats; because Other Mother didn’t have a host child to use for that one.
Lord I have been watching theory videos of Coraline for years and having those little details pointing out that Coraline is probably still trapped is a new one for me. As soon as it was pointed out with the subtle differences in interior of the real world I went, "Ohhh shit hang on-" so quick
I think one of the reasons why I loved this movie as a kid was because I've never seen anything like it and I actually watched it the first time with my friends in primary school for our English class assignment, so it definitely left an impression on my mind lol
@@spider-fighterdenoir6266I never get tired of watching shrek 2 and the incredibles, we watched both movies in the theater with my parents when I was young 😊 now I watch both movies with my own kiddos
Finally someone who also thinks Coraline is scary af. All of my family looked at me like im a wimp whenever we rewatch the movie. Its just super creepy.
I feel so lucky that i saw this in theaters i was SO hyped by this movie with how freaky it is. My mom wasn't prepared and told me afterwards how horrified she was by the scene of the ghost kids. I didn't even flinch but I def can understand her being freaked out. I love this movie so much 🖤
One of my favorite movies ever since I was a kid. Finally got the original book like a year ago and there's so much more to dive into. Im so glad this was a part of my childhood ❤
Tbf the first time i had more than one friend over (never saw that group again) we all sat on the couch downstairs and cried that the other mother was gonna get us because we were terrified. we were like 9, and I don't remember what we were initially spooked about, but I'm glad this movie brought back some childhood trauma memories :)
This is my favorite movie I watched it so many times I even know the dialogues lmao but I never noticed that the octopus toy was ACTUALLY in the "real world" too like??? You blew my mind with other little details ! This editing made me laugh hard btw! love you
“Ooh!! I love Coraline. Don’t watch it at night though. I made that mistake by watching it before I went to bed.” - one of my friends recommending the film to me
my mom used to ask me if i could watch “something happy for a change” back then because i watched this movie damn near every time there was a rainy day ☆ lol
There's also this one thing that I've been thinking of: Mr. Bobinsky, April, and Miriam were all accomplices by the Other Mother because she was able to let them relive their life back then, their life of youth, glitz, and glamour.
this is my all time favorite movie and has been since i was 10. it is just so gorgeous and the plot is insane - the book is so good, but this is one of the rare times when the movie is better than the book. i love this video!!
I remember this cartoon accidentally became part of my childhood when my parents decide to connect to cable and in that cable there was an HBO channel they're they play this movie over and over every week, and HBO make sure that it's always night time when they play this movie. Ahh sweet memories.
When i was little i just assumed it was a happy ending. But looking back it so obviously is still a trick!! And that scares me because I would have been so easy to trap when i was a kid 😂
this was the cherry on top of everything. this shit was funny but scary asf😂. i swear i’ve watched about a months worth of background knowledge on this damn movie and so far. there’s no happy ending
Watching Coraline is so satisfying because I have vivid nightmares since childhood where I would pop out in horror plot. The way she act is exactly how I act, not screaming or panicking. I would go full fight mode with the creatures in my dream while trying to wakes up. And I too believe SHE IS STILL TRAPPED THERE.
When I watched this movie on the hbo max app the other day the ending glitched. It kept replaying the ending song and wouldn’t let me get off the page, needless to say it was ✨stressful✨

I made a comment on another video about how I theorized Coraline did escape but still sent the key back to the other mother. Here's my thought process:
1. The parents aren't really acting any different after they come back. The biggest reason they were neglectful in the beginning of the movie was because of their job, which they finished while in the snow globe. I think we've all been in a place where you neglect other things in favor of 1 thing. The best example sadly being an addiction. Whether it's work, drugs or the famous World of War Crack people have been shown to be dedicated to something to satisfied and forgo other responsibilities. So, their behavior change is more of "We're sorry for not being around" then suspicious. Still not healthy but that's humans for yah.

4. The cat can talk in the other world but not in the real world. He can't talk in the last part of the movie.
5. The other world is meant to be a storybook world where everything's prefect, including the weather. Weathers happening in the ending.
6. the ghost children are set free. If this was all the other mothers doing, she wouldn't even let Coraline know about them. Thinking your alone is scarier than knowing there were previous victims.
7. I'm sure some people are saying "the other mother can reshape things" and i agree but you're missing 2 things:
A: She can't MAKE things. Even that moment of her copying Coraline's real mom was her already having the look down pat.
B: How long has it been since her last meal? I wouldn't be surprised if she was running low on power. She even said so herself "I'LL DIE WITHOUT YOU"

I think he picked some really good replacements, though, so that takes the edge off for me.
yup thank you for this. i never really supported the theory that she stayed in the other world simply bc the other mother NEEDS to see what coraline hates about her life so she could “fix” it.
Also ik she wasn’t shopping with the doll but i’m willing to bet that it still knew either bc it was actually in that scene but inside of their shopping bag or something (unlikely but whatever) or she complained to it about not getting the clothes after getting home. Or there was that time she brought up the gloves right before her real mother left for groceries (she was in the house but i can’t recall the details of that scene so idk if the doll was there).
@renoirrr 🤔 the doll does seem to move (shown by the 1 scene where it was looking at Coraline and Wybie and the cat growled at it), so if Coraline said it in the house at all its possible the doll heard.
Thank you for saving my mind from this video, the theory of Coraline never escaping is plain terrifying.
One of the best things about this film is that you don't know it's a horror film going into it. Sure, it has some of those vibes from the intro, Wybie being silent, the cat's warnings, and the recreations of the apartment residents are eerie in a way, but it's mostly fun and games.
Then the button scene happens. And the tone changes completely. Now we realize this world isn't a candy store of wonder and delight - it's a mousetrap.
perfectly said😊 (i kinda wish i hadn't given my family so much of a heads up when introducing them to this movie so the reveal would've had more of an impact now😢)
This movie scared me so bad when I was younger... and it STILL scares me 😀
Same
same i used to think the evil mother came to my bedroom 😂
@@binararka8530SAME, I still do after watching the movie. that’s why I don’t watch the movie that much though I loved it😭
It doin a spook
same🤧🤧
Dude- this is literally my favorite movie as a kid and my parents HATED it. I still watch it all the time- especially when i need a pick me up ❤😊❤😊
Me,my brothers and my parents loved this movie😂 when we first watched it was on tv and we were at the end and we thought that the other mother was her real mom😭
I remember being at my cousins house for Halloween and we got to binge watch this movie with snacks AND SMORES!!!
@@sharksareinteresting Awwwww I love that- I would always eat mint ice cream with coco sprinkles! Still bring back the nostalgia ♥️😊
@@L_The_Human ooh that sounds delicious!
For me and my parents, it's the opposite
10:06 This is my theory actually. Outside the Pink Palace, the Beldam created "3 wonders," she has 3 children's eyes. I think their eyes give her the ability to generate more world, hence she was able to create 3 wonders out of their 3 sets of eyes. Why else would she keep the eyes around? And keep one pair of eyes in each of the "wonders"? (One in Bobinsky's place, one in the actresses' place, and one in the garden)
I think the eyes are hidden in plain sight in each location because they act like batteries, like generators, powering their respective locations. That's why when they were removed, their land unravels and all that's left by the end is the Pink Palace.
THAT IS SO SMART AAAA
We share brains bc I was thinking the same danm thing I was going off too we are so smart I swear 🤯
i'm sad that my childhood consisted of *NEVER* watching this movie... *cries*
Maybe it’s for the better because I’m still terrified of it as an adult
lmao
I'm sad and also glad for you
@@Misa-Missaa *cries* thank you, but i'll watch it someday
You can listen to the audiobook on TH-cam.
The book is actually scarier than the movie in my opinion .
Coralline is my family’s favorite movie, I never got terrified of it, I honestly loved it so much as a 5 year old:D
When I was 5 it scared me, I remember watching it on the couch with my family on Halloween night, the 3D version, in the dark with purple and green lights. It was a mood. That was a decade ago now and I remember it very vividly. Pretty sure I had nightmares about it, but I still watched it. I’ve always liked creepy things.
@@Yer_blue_angel FUN TIMES FUN TIMES
Looks like we got some horror fans over here. Pretty cool.
Me to my little son (when he was embracing his younger sister hiding her face on his side, often telling her when it is safe to watch again): are you not scared watching this? He replied: no, not really. And I like to be scared anyway. 😅
Same here!! I might be considered a bit 'old' as I saw this when it came out and I was 15. But I absolutely loved it, I love horror even as a kid, so this movie didn't phase me at all. It thrilled me to core, to this day.
Welp. That "Never made it out" theory is actually one I'd never heard before, and when I tell you it's been rattling around in the back of my brain for the past few days?? Bruh. That idea is sending chills down my back fr. I never realized how plausible it could be, what with the room changing around her and all that.
That being said, here are a few counterpoints I came up with to that theory -so I could sleep at night again-
- Her mom takes her to the store. We've seen that the Other Mother's world is rather puny, and she can likely only create a "Wonder" for each pair of children's eyes she has. Unless we are to believe that her powers being limited was a trick all along and she can actually generate _infinite terrain,_ I believe that generating an entire city full of buildings and people would be beyond her capabilities.
- The ghost of the children visit Coraline in the end, thanking her for saving them and reiterating that she's still alive and the only danger is that she has the key on her. Unless we are to believe that A) the ghost children were fake all along or B) The Other Mother can _alter people's dreams,_ then Coraline _must_ have transported the children's eyes out of the Other World by leaving herself.
- The Ghost children claim that the Other Mother only locked them in their room and "ate up their lives" _AFTER_ they agreed to let her sew the buttons. So unless we believe one of the previous catches, the Other Mother would have no reason to keep Coraline in the Other World if she couldn't actually take her eyes and eat her life.
- My opinion is that making Coraline _believe_ that she went home is too elaborate a plan for the Other Mother to have enacted. Not that she _couldn't_ enact it, it's just that... why would she? The other 3 children admitted that they willfully returned for more and willfully agreed to have the buttons sewn in, so why wouldn't she just let Coraline go home to her drab normal life and then return to the better world at night of her own free will? Why would the Other Mother expect this that this child would be any different from the last 3 and not just take up her offer immediately? Hence, the only night she _didn't_ return Coraline to her real room was the night Coraline rejected her and clearly planned to run away without returning.
- Working off that last point, IF the Beldam WAS rearranging the furniture the whole time, then after Coraline initially rejects the buttons, the Beldam could've just... rearranged the furniture again that night and let Coraline believe _then and there_ that she made it home, end of story. She never would've had to worry about the ghosts being found or any extra annoyances, the problem of Coraline trying to run away would be solved. Unless maybe she wanted another shot at convincing Coraline to let her sew the buttons, but then if she NEEDS to sew the buttons in then that once again begs the question: what point would she have in letting Coraline _believe_ she escaped if she's never gonna get to sew the buttons in and eat her life?
What happened when coraline first rejected the sew buttons in eyes trick actually was forced, because the beldam was hungry and clearly desperate to survive. The beldam could've sewn in the button eyes and trapped her there permanently, therefore why we see a picture of coraline have brown hair instead of blue.
Or the beldam waits until she tricks coraline when she older making her think she needs glasses. By then fooling coraline into the buttons being placed in her eyes without fully knowing.
@@AninRose8 I think Coraline would _know_ if someone tried to sew buttons into her eyes, that should be PAINFUL.
Furthermore, I think that Coraline _needs_ to give some sort of consent to have the buttons sewn in. Think about it, if the Beldam could just sew buttons into the eyes of anyone at all at any time, why bother with trying to please them and give them everything they want? She could've just taken Coraline's eyes the moment Coraline crawled into her dimension, end of story.
Clearly she's luring them in for a reason, I think she can't take their eyes unless they give them away willingly.
And further futhermore, I don't think the Beldam could've just kept her there "until she was older" because I think the Beldam is _hungry._ I think generating a whole world takes energy. We can see when she runs out of energy that the fake world starts to fade, the other father starts to melt into his original form (a pumpkin) and things don't work like they're supposed to. I think that, like any spider, there's only so long she can go without food. I don't think she has the energy to keep up that facade of a fake world for the rest of Coraline's life.
the other father was such a sweetheart, he deserves all the love in the world
1:52 I never even thought of the fact that coraline was experiencing this literally the SECOND day in her new home
If it was me and I saw that you’d best believe I would think the house cursed my parents 😭💀
ill never get tired of coraline theories, i love finding new things when i watch it and ive watched it over 100 times and its like theres always something new
Same
I loved this movie so much…but you DO have a point about how the characters changed and how the Beldam did things. Your theories kinda made sense rlly.
Honestly took me getting older to realize that the parents were trying to have her best intrests in mind they were just so damn tired and overworked. Another thing is I have a suspicion that the reason they had like no real food, or baught her nice things is because they had no money and literally HAD to finish that catalog by a deadline. Real life is hard man lol.
I just bought the original book and the theory of Coraline, possibly still being in the other world is making me want to read this book even more. And when I tell you, I know this book is going to be scary. It has a couple of pictures and they’re absolutely horrifying
dude the book is scarier than the movie surprisingly. both are great but i like how dark the book is even compared to the movie
May I know,
What's the title of the book,
Who's the writer,
Please ?
@@nojena37 "Coraline" by Neil Gaiman
@@Mangaka718 thankie!
Seeing adults terrified of this movie while it's my favourite childhood memory is just hilarious every single time
Bro ur opening my eyes even more and making me laugh and realize this movie is so much deeper than it is and I'm scared
This is the first creepy movie my dad showed me and I'm really glad he did. I love that it has jump scares and tension but not gore
Yeah it’s literally a family friendly horror, it’s insane
My jaw DROPPED when you included that burning doll scene from Bojack Horseman
OMG I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO SAW THIS REFERENCE SO GLAD SB ELSE GOT IT !!!
"she's just sitting there... menacingly"
Your fixation on the doll 😭
My grandmother took me to see this in theatres when it first came out and i was like 3 or 4 years old, because she thought it was a kid's movie. I don't remember it at all, but apparently she walked out with me the instant the other mother brought out the buttons lol.
I haven't seen the full movie in a while but this makes me want to watch it again!
watch it!!
You won't regret watching it. The whole vibe is so creepy and the movie is very well put together.
I was a timid child, and one day mum brought this dvd to me. Unfortunately, I was too curious for my own good and watched it to the end. Needless to say I ran crying to my mum, who shrugged me off as being "too scared to watch anything". Days passed, and I don't feel as scared anymore and asked my mum to watch it again. To my surprise, she had already watched it to see what's going on and said, "No, I've burnt that thing"
The real reason Why the time stops when the cat appears is because the other mother is terrified of the cat. This was in the coraline Book. Awsome Video ❤️
my favourite movie and i love learning more and more about it and seeing everyones silly goofy theories
And wait until you read the book. There's no lovey dovey wolrd, it's dark from the beginning, she doesn't have anyone and is basically alone (apart from Cat), other father is basically just this big living sandy sack that's modeled by the other mother when she needs to and she's way more terrifying
Agreed
The scene in the basement with the doughy other father is scarring
@@Ashesdragons48 that scene is one of the scariest in my opinion, like the fact he doesn't want to harm Coraline but he's basically a puppet in the others mother's hands so he's forced to is just terrifying. I still can't understand how that book is for children lmao
@@chiara3511
Me neither
Yeah, I love the book so much. It's soo creepy 🖤🖤
where do i read it?
Not my childhood getting more and more crushed with every theory that made sense 💀 I’m a believer now, you broke that down better than any TH-camr that spends 40 minuets on a theory could
I've always been creeped out by the opening scene where the Other mother took off the cotton stuffing (the child's soul?) from the doll, threw it away, turned around the doll's skin and then filled it with another stuffing of her choice. The sheer violence of that scene. I might be projecting a lot here, in fact I've never heard anyone talk about it, but I've always considered the Other Mother a sort of stand in for an abusive parent, who wants to make a puppet out of her own daughter, preying on her inexperience and guilt tripping her.
It's incredible, how different people can get completely different ideas from the very same movie.
That scene is actually the procedure for embalming a body, as stated by the comment sections morticians. Makes it much more creepy that scene! 🤪
So, about the mittens and the shop theory, if you look close enough, when the mother says "Maybe she should buy them then." you can see a woman through the window, which makes the same sing with her finger pointing to her eyes, just like the Beldam does when Coraline asks her for clues about her parents.
I remember reading the book when I was 12 or so with my own dad, and let me tell you the other father scene is NIGHTMARE FUEL. Coraline descends a spiral staircase into a stone basement with slick walls and moldy floors and the fight with the other father happens in this small, confined space as this thing basically melts before her.
I was forever traumatized by the demon dogs. They always showed up in my nightmares as a kid 🥲
Gosh I’m so happy to did this video ! I was traumatized by this movie when I was younger (like so many kids I suppose 😅) but after growing up I realized how good it is even if it’s literally an horror movie for kids !
The first time we saw the other mom with her buttons eyes is terrifying, it’s definitely my least favorite scene😢
The "DONT LEAVE ME! DONT LEAVE ME! I'LL DIE WITHOUT YOU!" Scene still freaks me out
Love the idea of she never actually beat the other mother, she's just dead, she lost the game... the button timer never actually stopped, the cat never helped her, it's just the last moments of her brain protecting her from the truth
your editing gives me life
Coraline: I coULd HaVE DiED!
The real mom: ThATs NIcE
I always heard the theory about Coraline never escaping the fake world, but this video has convinced me o.O
I personally don’t agree with the theory cause remember coraline parents didn’t have a lot of money so that’s why they barely show any attention to her and didn’t get her a lot of things but the other world is suppose to portray all of the things coraline wanted and I believe coraline was dreaming the first counter and remember the other mother is witch cause that’s beldam means so like what if she actually did counter her in a dream magically made her poison oak gone and she always that the wear plushie with a button she and idk what animal it is but I love the theories and love the editing it made me laugh 😂
The more haunting thing is that it’s heavily implied the Beldam is actually trapped in an even more horrific creature.
There’s a theory that other mother only had the bodies of the three children, which she used to make Other Father, and Other Spink/Forcible, but she since didn’t have any other bodies to use, that’s why Other Mr.B is made of rats; because Other Mother didn’t have a host child to use for that one.
I heard a theory that they pronounce Coraline name wrong bc they don’t want the other mother to hear “them” speak or whatever
Lord I have been watching theory videos of Coraline for years and having those little details pointing out that Coraline is probably still trapped is a new one for me. As soon as it was pointed out with the subtle differences in interior of the real world I went, "Ohhh shit hang on-" so quick
I honestly like how this is more of a theory video
0:19
"I would've died"
"That's nice"
I think one of the reasons why I loved this movie as a kid was because I've never seen anything like it and I actually watched it the first time with my friends in primary school for our English class assignment, so it definitely left an impression on my mind lol
She knew Coraline wanted clothes because there was a clone of the sales woman outside while her mother was speaking to the original woman inside
Omg wait
A detail that I dont know if you notice is that the fog gets closer in their house as the movie progresses which is kind creepy but a nice detail
glad you mentioned the rat music part, it was so creepy lmao, especially with the performance included.
Is it bad this is a bit of a comfort movie for me-
ME TOOOO
I dont think that's bad. Everyone got a movie like that. My own mom rewatches the incredibles from time to time.
@@spider-fighterdenoir6266I never get tired of watching shrek 2 and the incredibles, we watched both movies in the theater with my parents when I was young 😊 now I watch both movies with my own kiddos
@hadilayyad6147 the same thing happened with my mom and niece. They love watching movies together now they both love the incredibles
Same. The horror is comforting 😂
Coraline is my favorite movie, i’ve never felt so much comfort from any other movies. i can’t explain it i love it sm 😭
i saw this in theaters when it came out, to this day it's still one of my favorite movies of all time 💕 everything about it is just so perfect
Finally someone who also thinks Coraline is scary af. All of my family looked at me like im a wimp whenever we rewatch the movie. Its just super creepy.
I love this movie when I was Coraline as a child for Halloween, I got to watch the movie with my cousins and we had s’mores MASTAPICE!
I love this movie so much, this was hilarious to watch and your theories make it even better. The emojis you used were priceless lol
I feel so lucky that i saw this in theaters i was SO hyped by this movie with how freaky it is. My mom wasn't prepared and told me afterwards how horrified she was by the scene of the ghost kids. I didn't even flinch but I def can understand her being freaked out. I love this movie so much 🖤
One of my favourite movies, but I used to be terrified of it. Love the commentary keep it up.
One of my favorite movies ever since I was a kid. Finally got the original book like a year ago and there's so much more to dive into. Im so glad this was a part of my childhood ❤
My actual name being coraline :
💅💅✨✨
Tbf the first time i had more than one friend over (never saw that group again) we all sat on the couch downstairs and cried that the other mother was gonna get us because we were terrified. we were like 9, and I don't remember what we were initially spooked about, but I'm glad this movie brought back some childhood trauma memories :)
This movie is just so calming idek why it just is so relaxing like the stop motion and the whole scenery and voices yk
1:26 British food
The fact that this is my favorite movie
I WATCH THIS MOVIE WHENEVER I CAN!! IT’S LIKE A COMFORT MOVIE. SOMETHING ABOUT THE DREARINESS 😭
Lovin the luigi's mansion OST in the background honestly
This is my favorite movie I watched it so many times I even know the dialogues lmao but I never noticed that the octopus toy was ACTUALLY in the "real world" too like??? You blew my mind with other little details !
This editing made me laugh hard btw! love you
“Ooh!! I love Coraline. Don’t watch it at night though. I made that mistake by watching it before I went to bed.” - one of my friends recommending the film to me
my mom used to ask me if i could watch “something happy for a change” back then because i watched this movie damn near every time there was a rainy day ☆ lol
There's also this one thing that I've been thinking of: Mr. Bobinsky, April, and Miriam were all accomplices by the Other Mother because she was able to let them relive their life back then, their life of youth, glitz, and glamour.
i love how you're picking up on every small detail. also this vid creeped me out more than anything else ever did but its still so cool
I actually really loved this movie as a kid and still do 😭
this is my all time favorite movie and has been since i was 10. it is just so gorgeous and the plot is insane - the book is so good, but this is one of the rare times when the movie is better than the book. i love this video!!
This is the best analysis video I've seen of Coraline, even though it wasn't supposed to be that 😂
still one of my favourite films ever
I am literally a whole adult, a grown up, a fully matured human, and this movie still scares the bejeebees out of me
I remember this cartoon accidentally became part of my childhood when my parents decide to connect to cable and in that cable there was an HBO channel they're they play this movie over and over every week, and HBO make sure that it's always night time when they play this movie. Ahh sweet memories.
When i was little i just assumed it was a happy ending. But looking back it so obviously is still a trick!! And that scares me because I would have been so easy to trap when i was a kid 😂
The fact that I watched this when I was a literal baby not being scarred at all, and I was scared of Edward scissor hands
Bruh, what?????.
@@Inconstructionmaybe-x5v learn to read then you will know😊
coraline was my comfort movie 🥹
this was the cherry on top of everything. this shit was funny but scary asf😂. i swear i’ve watched about a months worth of background knowledge on this damn movie and so far. there’s no happy ending
When I was 10 and watch coralline I wasn’t scared at all I still love this movie lol
Omg girl I read the comic book and the art in one scene is TERRIFYING 😫 (this is why I never go in the basement alone 😟)
HELP WHY IS THIS SO GOOD
Watching Coraline is so satisfying because I have vivid nightmares since childhood where I would pop out in horror plot. The way she act is exactly how I act, not screaming or panicking. I would go full fight mode with the creatures in my dream while trying to wakes up. And I too believe SHE IS STILL TRAPPED THERE.
ur editing had me wheeezinnnggggg
that door chasing her scene traumatized me 😭
When I was little I watch this movie nonstop. I’m serious. Right when it ended I played it over and over and over. I never got old 😂😂
I've never watched Coraline but your commentary was absolutely hilarious
I recently watched the movie...I actually liked it! I also like how you are pointing out certain details I missed! Interesting...
Bro this movie was everything thing to me growing up I love it sm 😭😭💕💕
11:01
Yeah no because while this movie horrified me, THIS is the scariest part
Pls your theories actually make so much sense 😭🙏
Off topic but the stop motionnn SLAPS
When I watched this movie on the hbo max app the other day the ending glitched. It kept replaying the ending song and wouldn’t let me get off the page, needless to say it was ✨stressful✨
