I am so glad my parents didn't let watch this growing up! This movie is just so creepy and even frightening in some moments. Safe to say this film left an impression on me. Enjoy :)

Yes. I said Caroline, not Coraline initially. 😆
Well considering everyone who isn't her parents does that too i think it's fine. Right on theme.🤣
I was like HE SAID CAROLINE
And I immediately corrected you just like Coraline does. 😂
OK i was that book worm teachers pet kid that actually READ the book before it came out which was WAY scarier than the movie at some parts but then ... i finally watched this when it first came out, we had room mates, and a creepy small door next to the laundry room was upstairs behind MY bedroom and it was like empty weir little hole of space with a golden small knob, u literally would have to crawl into it and it was just spider/cobb webbs and nightmare fuel to ME even MORE SO after watching this movie. xD i was SCARED every night but i still love this movie. Theres something about putting it into pictures that makes things scarier than when u read them.
I love that
My daughter brought this book home from the school library in 3rd grade....I flipped through it (as I always did with their books) and the illustrations were dark as heck, so I was like "Honey, are you sure you want to read this?" She said she didn't think the pictures were scary. I sat down and read the entire book in one sitting and went over lots of stuff with her as she came to it in the book. She absolutely LOVED this book. When the movie came out, she was about 14, I think, and it was a given that we'd go see it. Sometimes kids surprise you. I remember my Mom freaking out about some of my books too...I just enjoyed horror stories from a young age.
The funny story is...this book almost wasn't published. The editor thought it was too scary for kids, so the author asked him to get his own kids opinion on it. Kid was all for it, so the book ended up finished and published. Turns out, the kid was terrified, but wanted to know what happened next so didn't say anything.
I grew up reading the "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark" books and would read these books to my nephews before bedtime; my 5 year old niece loved this movie from when she first saw it. She's almost 8 now and she STILL loves this movie; kids love to get scared. We did too when we were that age, we just forget how much fun it is when we get older.
I remember I loved it when I first saw it, as it's just a straight up great story, but I can see why some people might get the creeps, I think kids need stuff like this to challenge them and their preconceptions of the world
I think it's good for kids to learn what fear is rather than shelter them. I wish more people make scary literature that are appropriate for children.
The book is terrifying and I absolutely loved it when I read it in 4th grade.
I always found it so interesting how they managed to make us understand more of Coraline's mindset without making her parents bad. They seem neglectful and mean because we are seeing them in a small, very stressful moment in time. They've just moved across the country and the mother was in a serious car accident. So on top of the normal stress of moving house and an intense work deadline, they're likely dealing with medical bills and for the mom, chronic pain issues. It's not like this all the time, but it's enough right now to make Coraline feel hurt and ignore her instincts regarding the other world because like us, she can't see the big picture.
That's a great point. I just live how the movie really helps us understand nearly everything she is thinking pretty seamlessly
I appreciate this comment. This is one of the movies where I’ve watched crap tons of reactions and sometimes those circumstances pass right past people watching.
It practically shows us the meaning of reality there’s so many families living like this and dealing with the issues that come with being a family and families environments could be harsh and sometimes scary
Indeed, and you can see their immediate shift in town once things are sorted out
my personal theory about the parents is that they probably came home and saw that coraline was missing, and then they saw the little door was left open and maybe went in to try and find her, which is how they got captured. and then the beldam made the doll look like the parents as a way to taunt coraline and lure her back to the other world.
Hmmm I prefer the theory where Coraline actually never left the other world after entering it the first time. There's probably a few videos about it on TH-cam, I'd recommend them!!
My personal theory is that maybe Coraline entered the other world somehow even before that. Remember how her mother immediately knew which key to pick for the little door? It doesn't make sense. The key looks new compared to all of the other ones and it SHOULD have been rusty considering the door has been bricked up for ages. Either her mom was compelled to open the door or well... Coraline was already gone. I also don't think she ever returned considering the garden still looks like her at the end of the movie.
I don’t think it’s either. I think she has minions that can enter the world for short periods of time. And the mother would know about every key given her character
@@ot7biasedmashups This is actually explained in the novel the movie is based on, the mothers fumbles through the pile of keys and picks out the one that looks the oldest (almost verbatim)
Not to mention the other mother spies on her and her surroundings through the dolls' eyes. But there's also conflicting plot points, like why the first couple times Coraline falls asleep and magically returns in the real world without going through the little door? Is the well another way in and out? Are there more victims in other places? Especially when Coraline challenges the other mother saying, "and everyone else you've trapped here."
My parents got the russian dub downloaded on their computer back in 2009 and made us all (me and my siblings) watch it. Then my dad glued buttons on his eyelids with cellotape and chased us around the house to scare us. I was 8.
We also had a little door like in the movie in our bathroom at that house.. yeah
You really got the virtual Coraline experience
@@lisak8492There was a little door at a house I grew up in. This was well before Coraline, but that door creeped me out. I looked in once but I don't recall what was in there, access to plumbing or something.
I got a similar experience about movie ''the ring'', I was 6 when ı watched it with my parents, actually ı was the one who picked the movie in a cd store and they went for it and bought it. Later that day we watched the movie and I was scared as hell, we were watching thorugh a big CRT tv and with the plot of the movie, tv itself made de experience highly immersive. Then same day at ne night, I couldnt sleep on my own and went to my parents bedroom and curled up to my mothers side. My dad was still awake at the moment and he planned a prank that traumatize me lol. He sneaked into the bedroom, crawled from the floor, approached the bed, then grabbed my leg from under the blanket and pulled it...
Sometimes, I still wake up with the feeling of being pulled or hold.
the fact you called her caroline for the entire of this reation made me giggle 💀
"And they call you cORoline and not cARoline, not Caroline at all !"-Mr. Bobinsky.
There is a famous director of kids cartoons (Don Bluth) has said "You can show anything to kids, as long as there is a happy ending". One of my favourate movies as a kid (and remains so to this day) is a G rated cartoon called "The Secret of NIMH" targeted at kids (one I STRONGLY advise!). Be aware... it is an 80's G (and that says everything for people who understand).
Don Bluth* and totally agree with everything you said.
@ChiriDarkrose No! See... thats how he spells his name amongst friends! honest! I didn't just flub that. :p Thank you
@RedKytten I can't find anything on that. Either way, I'm not one of his friends, so I'll stick to calling him Don.
Jim Henson also was a big proponent of not being afraid to scare kids a little he said that it was healthier to show kids how to deal with fear and over coming it. His movie "The Dark Crystal" is one of my favorites, I know a lot of people go on and on about "Labyrinth" it is a good film but I actually preferred The Dark Crystal. But yes "The Secret of Nimh" was great, the artwork sometimes from him really took me by surprise how detailed it could be and he could draw the scariest looking cats lol.
I adore The Secret of NIMH: it's such an atypical story with an atypical protagonist. It never scared me as a kid.
Fun fact: this film takes place in Ashland, Oregon where I went to school. The foresty mountains and near constant fog definitely make for a very unique atmosphere.
This movie ticks all my boxes. It’s like a bizarre, unique take on a theme, with almost overt Majors’s Mask vibes. It’s full of puzzles and symbolism and useful items, and haunting distortions of reality. Also, John Hodgman is a legend, a reverent judge, and a great voice actor.
Yeah it's such a unique and imaginative story which serves as a warning sign for children as well. The claymation brings it to life so well, as claymation is a great medium for horror. The movie really does have a magical and mysterious quality as cliche as that sounds, not many kids movies were this good growing up and it's nice to have these diamonds in the rough
Coraline had a Tim Burton or Guillermo del Toro sort of feel. The themes are kind of outrageously exaggerated and creepy, yet amusing. I would have had nightmares about it too, if I had watched it as a kid. Feel better, Oscar!
Henry Selick did this movie, he also gas done other movies with Tim Burton
It's based on a book by Neil Gaiman. He's done a lot but most noticeably, Coraline, Good Omens, Stardust and The Sandman comics
It had a Gaiman sort of feel
Fun fact: When Neil Gaimon (the author, he's a great guy) wrote the book, the publisher said it was too scary and wasn't going to publish it. Neil said, "Alright, how about we try this. Read the story to your kid or have her read it, and let me know how she feels about it."
So, the publisher did just that, and when she came back she said that her daughter loved it!
Years later he met the girl and thanked her for her input on the book. Without her, it wouldn't have been published.
And she just says, "Oh, that book terrified me, but i didn't want my mom to know. I wanted to finish the story."
That girl lying to her parent lead to the story we have today.
Another fun fact is the Wybe wasn't in the book. Neil could convey things in writing that wouldn't work in a scenic production, so he created wybe. That helped to see Coraline's character since you can't read about it.
Laika does stop motion unlike anyone else it's so impressive. Highly recommend Kibo and the Two Strings as well, the coolest animation I've ever seen.
Saw an exhibit in Seattle that had a bunch of the physical props they used. They 3d printed and hand sanded and painted over 15000 faces for each major character
In this one
For us kids who grew up in the 70s and 80s, Coralie is like revisiting our childhood. Our cartoons and entertainment was darker and more surreal than y'all grew up with. This movie is a brilliant world of art woth a classic moral message that rings true for everyone who sees it.
And it was BRILLIANT in 3D I saw in theaters 3x! It was the first film to legitimately do so with the modern 3D tech. It's really the only film to successfully make it a magical real 3D experience in theaters. You were IN the world. It was fantastically amazing!
The origins of the name Wyborn are cool and varied
Several sources that I read connects the origin to Norse culture with a rough translation of “war bear”
Also connected to Ireland & UK rough translation of “war hero”
Wybie wasn’t in the book, he was created to help facilitate Coraline’s internal monologues/plans in the books
This is probably one of the best gateway horror movies for kids ever made. I absolutely love it.
Absolutely, this and monster house. While I do think Coraline is the better film all around monster house is legitimately funny and tells a good story, second only to Coraline probably
this movie did not traumatize me. sure the beldam gets very creepy at the end, but it was never traumatized by this film. in fact, the whole thing intrigued me after each watch. it's so interesting looking at coraline's psychology, her parent's mindset with moving work and raising Coraline, Wybies generational trauma passed down from his grandmother, the whole thing is great writing, animation voiceacting and storytelling.
Yes, this was in fact, a kids movie, and they don't make films like this anymore.
Same with creepy kids' shows. It's tragic that you don't really see stuff like 'courage the cowardly dog' and 'the misadventures of flapjack' these days (both of which are shows i recommend for adults too), or even much unintentionally freaky kids stuff like the puppets from 'the wiggles'. I think all kids deserve cool, age-appropriate nightmare fuel that they just can't look away from.
I mean to be fair they didn't make films this good back then either. For some reason the stars aligned and the studio execs decided to let an original idea (from the book that is) pass through to the big screen, and it paid off. I think the problem is that they're all so damn stingy they don't want to take any creative risks anymore
@@docbrown538the owl house says hi
I really enjoyed your reaction.
After all these years I never connected that in the end Coraline worked to create the better parts of the “other” world in her own reality. Like a grass isn’t always greener/plant in your own garden (ha) kind of message.
Lovely to consider. ❤
Oscar at 0:47: "Euh, I don't like the buttons"
Me: "Honey, you've got a big storm coming"
This film is about to be re-released in cinemas here in Mexico for its 15th anniversary.
I watched it 15 years ago with my grandmother and sister when it came out, and I can't wait to watch it again on the big screen.
13:15 no.. I think Other Wyborn did tell him. Him not talking was a recent “fix” by the Beldam. Plus, the OG Wybie wouldn’t know anything about
I feel bad for the other dad because he was on coroline side and tried giving her hints to this realm and he also helped her get the key i do there is a thearey that the dad is the ghost boy tho
Some old legends about the fey folk said that if they ever took you to their homes, never eat or drink anything there or you would be trapped there forever. That came to mind when Other Mother wanted Coraline to eat. Also note that Other Mother didn't.
Other legends also held that time passed differently in the other places you could go in and party for years and come out old, but only a short time had passed in the regular world. Or you might not age while there however long you stayed, but as soon as you left, you would age accordingly and may well die.
“Acceptable for kids” is definitely a relative term. Especially from movies like this, just about anything by Don Bluth, Return to Oz, a bunch of Disney movies (animated AND live action), etcetera.
When I was little, I liked the movie not because I thought it was scary... (grew up watching courage and invader zim as just above toddler age and was beginning to enter the creepypasta fandom around the time the movie came out.) But I liked the story and the aesthetics, and practically everything about it.
I was 18 when it came out, got to see it at the movies with my friends and it's one of the movie experience I remember vividly. My son used to watch it as a toddler and absolutely love it but when he was about 5, he suddenly became scared of his snowglobe collection. We ''lost'' the dvd lol
Maybe I was a weird kid but I've loved this movie since my first watch, even tho my older sister was deathly scared of it. This movie really made my love for unusual horror and stop motion grow. I really love it to bits along with onther laika films ie boxtrolls and paranorman (The underrated laika movies nobody talks abt).
The last part with the Other Mr.B still makes my skin crawl
This film give a huge frightening experience when i was a kid. Also, this film was nominated by the Academy for Best Animated Picture, but it was defeated by "Up"
Coraline isn't an animated movie, it's a stop motion movie!
@@athgavr3850its called stop motion animation, so yes it is. almost on the same vein as flipbook style animations.
I found this movie so relatable. Especially the kitchen scene where Coraline and the Beldame pretend everything is perfect, just humming and waiting patiently for food - until Coraline hints at the issue and the Beldame starts to show her true colors from then on in the movie 😬
This is one of my favorite movies. It reminds me of my childhood, lol.
To be honest, this movie made me go to mental hospital. That’s how much it scarred me as a child. and imagine seeing this in the movie theaters on 3-D, and then ending up in a hospital that night wow. Those black buttons still creep me out.
I remember watching this movie when I was 8/9 years old. It gave me nightmares for a week, and I was like: “Is this really a movie for kids?”
There's a theory in the fandom that Coraline's journey is not over. That like the post that the cat disappeared into, the well was another entry point into the other world and that the beldam probably will find the key.
You mean the pink palace limbo theory?
@@athgavr3850 I haven't watched that analysis yet
@@nevamoore5192 ok!
Finally! I have been searching for this comment.
I have also heard that the beldam doesn't know about the other entry points yet... And ever since I heard about this theory I have wanted a second movie.
They had an interactive website where you could create your own plants for the "other world" garden...it was so fun!
?!?! Ayo is that still around???
The ending is actually quite ominous. As the camera zooms out from the garden, it's actually shaped like the Beldam's face. And then the cat disappears behind the sign as the movie cuts to black with a dramatic "thud". The movie's language is telling us that the Beldam might still be out there, in the other world, still watching Coraline.
If you think this movie's scary now, imagine being an easily scared 7-year old. This movie messed me up big time. But it truly is an amazingly made film. The author of the original book wrote it to be a horror story for children, and he might've done his job a bit too well!
This movie creeped me out as a kid but for some reason it's one of my favorite movies and books and I want a sequel to both
I was so excited when this film came out. I had read the book so many times so seeing the characters come to life was amazing
I think the beginning is really creepy bc they used actual historical tools to show the resewing of the doll… if I’m not mistaken, they used the tools to do autopsy or something like that back in the day (idk what they use today but yeah). I loooove this movie and its a big part of my childhood. I remember watching in the theaters when i was 7 and loving it while my sister who was 13 hated it bc she was so scared and creeped out 😂 i guess i always liked creepy stuff even when i was a child.
I dont know if this is confirmed or commonly known, but i have a theory.
The well looks a lot like the tunnel behind the door when you see the shot of coraline dropping the key and hand down it. Unknowingly sending the key straight to the Beldam.
This is one of my all time favorite movies.
I was only able to start watching it in high school but I fell in love with it on my first watch and even further with every other watch.
My local movie theater recently had the movie in theaters again for a fathom events and I had to go see it lol
I’ve also owned over 3 copies of the movies
1 on dvd
1 on blu ray that came with a trio of movies from the studio (Coraline, ParaNorman and Box Trolls)
And I recently bought the steel book which came with a copy of the blu ray and the 4k blu ray
if you liked this one, I suggest paranorman and wendell & wild
One of my favourite movies and I used watch it again and again. Loved the aesthetic and that it is stop motion, everything is handmade and it’s so well done, the sounds design. I also always saw the message of the movie be careful what you wish for, because she was unhappy and unsatisfied, then sees this “other world” and the outcome is not what she wanted
...lovely how the movies connect and relate, like Jack, traveling to a different worlds and the lies that give Tangle vibes.
It's sadly so rare for cats to be good guys in any sort of film; one of the reasons I like this film even though it scares me a ton and makes me uncomfortable. We need more good guy cats in movies, flip that stereotype.
The Neil Gaiman book this is based on was always a "semi-children's book". Like it would get stocked in the kids section, but a lot of people who read it were young adult or adults. Same with Wolves In The Walls. I got it for my friend (we were both in our twenties at the time) and she said it was scary af.
The publishing story goes that Gaiman sent it to his agent who said it's too scary for kids and needs to be published as an adult book. He dared her to read it to her kids (both under 10), and if they say it's too scary, then he'll re-edit it as an adult story and they'll go with that. The kids loved it, so as per deal, Coraline was sold as a children's book. At the premier of a musical adaptation, Gaiman was sat next to one of agent's kids, now 15. She said she actually lied and was scared out of her mind at the story, but she wanted to know it ended, and if she'd admitted she was scared as a kid, she wouldn't have gotten to know how that
I absolutely love this! Not that this wouldn't have been awesome as an adult story, it's just that it hits differently as a children's story.
One of the few movies I saw twice in theaters. This, and 9 were those movies. And it's still my favorite to this day
I never understood people being traumatised by this movie, it was one of my favourites growing up but I had a thing for Tim Burton style movies like this
But this is not a Tim Burton movie!
@@athgavr3850 I never said it was, it’s a Selick movie. I only said Tim Burton style movie as a vague reference to the fact that they both have very similar styles in directing
@@ajandrianjafymusic ok!
Some people are just easily scared. I have one friend who has been that way her whole life, I'm fact I have two but one is closer to me so she has learnt to survive horror movies.
I do think that it is about how much horror they get as a child tho, I watched the black cauldron at a age I can't remember. Played Skyrim when I was super young too. Those two friends almost exclusively watched cute movies.
We need to start showing kids semi horror stuff because not being able to take horror at all seems pretty darn boring.
I always hated horror stories but Coraline as a kid and now has never been really scary to me. I love it.
"Everything is so warm and colorful now-- OH!"
I laughed so hard at that.
9 is also a very good movie, its animated and came out the same year coraline did. It’s really interesting and very disturbing at times and i love it. 9, paranorman, coralline, and monster house were some classic favorites of mine growing up. I watched coraline so many times, i can recite the whole movie. Loved this reaction :)
I remember they had a version in theaters where this movie was supposed to be a early 3-D/IMAX experience but due to how dark and eerie it was they switched it to a regular theater experience
Your reactions are so genuine 💙
27:12 I love how you didn’t see that part😂 lol the cat
The only scene I remember remembering is the other mother banging on that tiny door yelling for coraline made my eyes go wide and feel kinda tense, and over thinking the ending with the cat disappearing behind the sign 😆
You‘ve got very wise parents. Watched this in my early 20s and couldn’t finish it in one go. When I finally finished it I couldn‘t sleep for a week. Poor kids!
I use to love watching that when I was 5 Years old lol
I still enjoy the Movie :]
But now that I'm older I see Coraline was definitely kinda a
Affectionate Neglected
I'm from Michigan and my dad went to Michigan State, just like her dad! He has the same sweatshirt.
I saw this when it 1st came out in theaters, in 3-D. It was a total trip, loved it!!!
fantastic mr fox, chicken run, and coraline...all stopmotion masterpieces especially coraline for me
Despite the fact that it gave me nightmares (in my defense, I was 5 when I watched it), this is one of my favorite childhood movies🖤💖
There's a theory someone shared on tiktok, that the cat is the way he is and knows a lot because he's the witch's familiar and she calls him Vermin for his name which is ironic because she works with bugs and rats and stuff
“She’s practically naked!”:me:GIRLY YOU AINT SEEN NOTHING YET
It's weird that people "grew up" watching this movie. You truly never feel old. My grandpa once said, "I see this old man looking back at me in the mirror, and I can hardly believe it's me".
Cool fact, though uncredited, the short musical number with the Other Father was performed by the indie group 'They Might Be Giants' who also did things like the theme song for 'Malcolme In the Middle'. (My Dad is friends with the manager for the band. ;) )
Interesting theory. Mr Bobinsky is speculated to be part of the Chernobyl clean-up campaign which is why his skin is blue due to radiationpoisoning. He can even be seen wearing a medal bearing a strong resemblance to the one given to those who participated in that dangerous service.
Thank you, Oscar! 🪡 I loved spooky stuff when I was a kid. I guess I still do! #TheCocoaCouch #HenrySelick #Coraline
4:36 if disgust lived in her head, coraline would’ve never had gone through that door
It's kind of funny for me to remember that many children (even older than me like you) their parents didn't let them see Coraline, because I saw Coraline when I was four in the cinema (if you think about it, a bad age to take someone so young to go to the movies, but I was the kind of kid who could watch movies, leave them on the couch and come back in two hours and I would still be there, without moving or saying anything) and it became my favorite movie when I was little, it was the only one cd that I had in my life and I repeated it as much as I could, my mom came out of the movie a little scared and asking me if I liked it or if I was okay, but I was just amazed by all that adventure around Coraline and the adrenaline that I got.
We watch them when we were little we were traumatized by the hand of the belldom and door .
it's was a nightmare
so before we watch we analyze the cover or genre
i first watched this movie in kindergarten when my teacher put it on for halloween, it’s been one of my favorite movies since
My grandma took my brother and me to see this in the theater when it came out. I was terrified and had nightmares for forever, then for some reason my mom got the book for me and after reading it I suddenly wasn’t scared anymore. It’s been my favorite movie ever since. I’ve worn out 2 DVDs of it from watching it so many times.
I just watched this movie last night only half of it because I was getting sleepy and creeped me out I even had a nightmare... maybe you think I should watch it during the day instead? 🤔
And do you realize the voice of the cat is the same actor who voiced the president in rick and morty?
I was wondering why his voice was so damn smooth!

I would like to see your reaction to these films:
My Little Princess, 2011
Look Away, 2018
Brimstone, 2016
Girl in the Basement, 2021
Miss Violence, 2013
Allure, 2017
Hounddog, 2007
Bastard Out of Carolina, 1996
The comic version is somehow even creepierbut dammit this movie is charming
The book is surprisingly darker and creepier than the movie, i would really recommend giving it a read. For one thing, theres no dolls, its all flesh and blood things (also, that scene where the cat claws up the other mother? Shes described as bleeding a tarry black blood during that scene) theres also an eldritch horror bigger than the other mother, that shes even scared of (also, we see a lot more of the other mother's powers) the horror factor is higher too
I remember the first time watching i was generally terrified but after a few more watching i became so invested!!! Laika movies are the best!!! Check out kudos and the two strings, defo their second best movie and has the largest clay motion ever built!!!
Pumped for this!
Your reactions never fail to make me smile!
I saw this in like, 2017? But I don’t remember getting scared because I couldn’t remember what was happening😂 I do remember miss forcible💀 that I’ll never forget💀 I also forgot how creepy it is, so if my younger cousin is reading, “I’m sorry I made fun of you for being scared😅”
My little cousin: “coraline scared me”
Me: “ExCuSE mE whAt”
-horror nerd
Yea my 3yr old forced me to watch this movie over 20 times last year. The first time he asked I told him it’s scary and still insisted for family movie night so I turned it on assuming he would get freaked out and we would watch something else…nope the kid was absolutely enthralled and anytime he saw it he would request it 😂 so now we watch it at least once a month and we talk about it after about how it makes him feel and if he ever gets scared. He basically says it’s good scary so I guess it’s cool. There are studies that believe fear is actually a beneficial emotion for kids in age appropriate controlled environments like movies, jump scares (like when you play hide and seek with your kid and jump out at them), and stuff like that.
Aside from Wybie and Coraline, the lesbian actresses downstairs are my favorite characters.
(Neil Gaìman himself agrees that they're a lesbian couple BTW.)
The danger and giraffe are still accurate as The Beldam is tall.
I absolutely love this film, looks amazing in 3D. I just hope one day they make a sequel
I don't think that's gonna happened, because there is only one book!
@@athgavr3850yeah I know but it’ll be pretty cool if they do :)
@@adamdutton1609 agreed!
“Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.”
-Neil Gaiman, author of “Coraline”, “American Gods”, “Stardust”, “The Sandman” and co-author of “Good Omens” ❤
My friend described this movie as the uncanny valley effect come to life.
I highly recommend "ParaNorman" the stop-motion is done by the same company Laika studios and it's my favorite by them.
The book this movie based on author wrote as bed time story for his child (4-6years old).
Good to see this movie is still demented. Watched the 3D version at age six, had nightmares for life. I re-watched it at sixteen then threw away the disk.
This is my comfort movie also if no one said it it’s a clay animation movie which is why the characters move the way they do
It’s crazy to think that the idea of this Animation wasn’t for kids a pretty dark and wicked movie 💯💯
i actually watched this when i was about eight. my brother told me about this movie and he didn't tell me what it was about, so i was sitting alone in his room, the lights turned off, at night. it didn't give me nightmares because i don't really find this story THAT bad, but it was definitely not the way to watch it lol
I would love to see you reacting to other (not so known) animation movies like Epic, the owls of ga'hoole or the adventures of tintin or Arthur and the minimoys, if you havent seen those 😊
i had a memorable moment with the owls movie. we were having a quarterly exam and my teacher was playing it loudly on the tv in front of the class. i have no idea why she did that.
Omg someone said it!! The owls of ga'hoole was one of my favourite movies as a child. I have been disappointed ever since because I have only been able to find like one TH-camr watch it.
I love how the singing in the main song ‘Exploration’ in this movie is just gibberish, I always used to think it was French when I was a kid but it’s just completely made up
First time I am watching it now with you Oscar. It's like a dark Alice in Wonderland with a touch of Wizard of Oz.
is this a kids movie? I wouldn't say so. did we all somehow tragically end up watching it as kids? absolutely. I remember on the last day of school in primary, the teacher wheeled in the tv and upon popular demand, put this movie on. safe to say I haven't been the same since.
It is a kids movie tho. Kids love this movie.
Thus movie gave me nightmares last night it was my first time watching it and only HALF of it 💀 I watched it at 11:30 PM... really bad idea
I've watched like three different people react to this movie, and it NEVER fails when they see the mother with buttons eyes. If just F creepy. I can't watch this movie by myself.
I love how Reaction content seems to come in waves - one day everybody's reacting to the newest Netflix drama, the next a 2009 stop motion animation film.
Don't know why. The Algorithm works in mysterious ways, but I'm not complaining.
The best part of the talking cat is that the actor is voicing a cat (sort of) yet again. A winged cat deceased sinner who is in Hell. 🙂
Fun fact I found multiple copies of the book in the “kids fiction” part of a book store(if you know anything about the book that is not where it goes)
