Coraline	comment	The Film of the Book of Coraline, animated by Laika in their solo feature debut, and adapted and directed by Henry Selick (of The Nightmare Before Christmas and James and the Giant Peach fame). It was released on February 6, 2009, and was the first Stop Motion movie filmed with a 3-D camera (however, the 3-D showings were only in limited locations for a few weeks).Coraline Jones (Dakota Fanning) moves from Pontiac, Michigan with her parents Mel (Teri Hatcher) and Charlie (John Hodgman) to the Pink Palace Apartments, an old house subdivided into three residences, in Ashland, Oregon. With her parents frantically working on a gardening catalog in order to make ends meet, and thus not paying much attention to her, Coraline begins to feel neglected. While exploring the house, she discovers a small door with a brick wall behind it. That night, she is awoken by a mouse in her room, which she chases to the small door. She opens it, but instead of a brick wall, she finds a long, glowing passage, leading to another world.At the other end, Coraline finds herself in the "Other World", which is inhabited by her "Other Mother" and "Other Father", idealized doubles of her parents (except for the black buttons sewn into their eyes) who pay close attention to Coraline and spoil her with treats. After enjoying a home-cooked meal made by the Other Mother, she spends the night in the Other World and awakens back in her bed in the real world.Coraline continues to go to the Other World at night and is entertained by the various delights present, including idealized versions of her neighbors, a beautiful garden built in her image, and delicious food. Coraline begins to prefer the Other World to her real one, finding that her Other Parents give her all the love and attention she lacks at home. Eventually, the Other Mother offers to let Coraline stay in their world forever, on one condition:She has to have buttons sewn into her eyes.When she refuses, things quickly take a dark turn as the Other Mother attempts to force Coraline to stay in her world. Coraline must rely on her bravery and wits to get back home.

Coraline / int_113480b7	type	Canon Foreigner
Coraline / int_113480b7	comment	Canon Foreigner: Wyborne "Wybie" Lovat was added to the film so that understanding Coraline's thoughts would be easier and she wouldn't have to talk to herself to express them. A Mr. Lovat is briefly mentioned towards the end of the book, however, as a former tenant of the Pink Palace, so this is likely where his surname comes from.

The Other Mother freezes Other Wybie's face into a perpetual smile when she takes away his voice, and later sews it into an even more hideous smile. The doll she uses as a spy on her intended victims is a straight example, as the mouth is slit open to remove the stuffing each time she remakes the doll.

Coraline / int_143939c1	type	Trailers Always Spoil
Coraline / int_143939c1	comment	Trailers Always Spoil: One TV spot for the film shows the Other Mother giving Coraline the gift box with the buttons meant for her. Another TV spot has the Other Father being held up by the evil mantis thing and swiping at Coraline, and shows the Other Wybie's stitched smile. A third features Other Bobinski's rat-clothes slithering around. Although spoilers were to be expected when the HBO Special on Coraline aired, some of them were a bit too big, mainly the fact that the Other Wybie dies and has all that's left of him, his clothes, hung like a flag. Granted, one of the five Behind the Scenes videos hinted at the possibility of this, but no one expected what actually occurred. It kinda reduced the shock value. The Other Mother's second form is on the back of the DVD box. The spoiler status of this is arguable though, as that's how she's described in the book from the beginning, as opposed to starting out as identical to Coraline's real mother.

After a time, she convinces them to sew buttons on their eyes, trapping their ghosts behind a mirror. If they refuse, she drops the mask and imprisons them and their parents until they do. She has an impulsive love of games, but will cheat to win them, and immediately reneges on any deals made if she does lose.

With each visit, they present conflicting pronouncements about Coraline's situation, and each time one of them makes a significant claim...yet the other also gives a valid, if less pertinent answer: When reading the tea leaves, Miss Spink sees a "very peculiar hand" crawling around, and indeed, peculiar hands are a feature of the Other Mother, and one of them detaches and causes problems for Coraline later. Miss Forcible sees a giraffe, which is less relevant, to be sure, but one of the toys in the Other bedroom is part-giraffe. When giving Coraline the adder stone, Miss Spink says it's for "bad things", and Miss Forcible says it's for "lost things". Forcible is closer, as it is able to highlight the hidden ghost eyes when looked through, but by that point, the entire situation is "bad things", so Spink isn't entirely wrong.

Coraline / int_23473ae7	type	Adaptation Expansion
Coraline / int_23473ae7	comment	Adaptation Expansion: Gaiman himself requested this trope. He saw that the original script was almost exactly like the book, and told them to make some changes. After all, if someone wanted something exactly like the book, they could just read the book. The Other World is introduced more slowly across multiple visits before the creepiness kicks in. In the book, most of the Other World is covered in Coraline's first visit, and the button-eye proposal is made at the end of that first visit. The garden is utterly insignificant to the book. It's been promoted to a wonder of the Other World here, and during the hunt for the ghost children it's guarded by the Other Father. In the book version of the hunt, the Other Father is closed off in a basement in the empty flat, which ends up as a dead end. The new character of Wybie is there to help explain some of the backstory of the place, and later give Coraline a person to express her thoughts to so she doesn't have to talk to herself. The Coraline doll is shown to be a tool of the Other Mother who uses it to stalk her victims. The beginning even shows her repurposing the previous design to remake it in Coraline's form. More backstory is given to Coraline and her parents, explaining why they ignore her so much and why she would be willing to abandon them for a dream world so casually. It's mentioned that the Other Mother can only shape existing materials in the book, but the movie makes this more apparent, with the denizens of the Other World being inanimate objects that are connected in some way to the real people they turn into, and slowly deteriorating into those inanimate forms as the Other Mother's control slips. The history of the Other Mother is shown to have an existing human connection in the form of Mrs. Lovat, the landlady, whose sister was the Other Mother's most recent victim.

None of these points are in the last third of the film, as the garden replaces the bedroom and cellar in one. The tunnel passageway Coraline traverses each time to get into the Other World has a physical presence in the book, and is fleshy and covered in fur the last time she goes through it. It is something that Coraline suspects is far older and more dangerous than the Other Mother, and so cannot control. This isn't mentioned in the movie but for a mention that the Other Mother didn't make the passageway herself.

Coraline / int_5f611b7e	comment	Good All Along: The Other Father. Even though he's a slave to the Other Mother's will, there are clearly moments early on when he's using whatever limited freedom he has to help and warn Coraline. His piano song is an attempt to drop hints that the Other Mother is constantly watching her. When Coraline rejects having buttons sewn into her eyes, the Other Father is smirking at the Other Mother's failure. Then he goes the extra mile trying to demonstrate how "not painful" the process is, only to receive a sharp kick from the Other Mother. This is justified because unlike the other adults, who were made to entertain Coraline, the Other Father is made help Coraline not feel neglected or ignored by her father, as she feels her real father is doing, and so, like any father should, he comes to love her unconditionally. A consequence of that love is a protective desire he feels and acts on in subtle ways. Other Wybie is similarly good and protective of Coraline. While the Other Father is meant to be a loving father, Other Wybie's good nature can be explained in that the Other Mother created him for one purpose: to please Coraline. What does she want most? Friends who would be fun to hang with and not weird, unlike her first impression of Wybie. Therefore, the Other Mother created him to be Coraline's close friend unconditionally. Unfortunately for her, this backfires horribly. Unfortunately for him, the Other Mother doesn't take kindly to insubordination.

Fortunately we have John Keats and The Other Wiki. The fairy ring of mushrooms around the abandoned well is a huge Chekhov's Gun to anyone who knows the appropriate folklore; to everyone else it's just added scenery. The stone that Spink and Forcible give Coraline? It's an adder stone. Also, how many viewers recognize the speech the Other Spink and Forcible recite during their trapeze act? It's from Hamlet. It has especially interesting plot correlations when you recall that when he originally spoke it in the play, Hamlet was being sarcastic. Especially when you also notice that they stop right before "And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust? Man delights not me." It's just a passing gag, but how many people are going to get "My kingdom for a horse!" A phrase which can be interpreted as, "Everything I have for the one thing I don't"... just a passing gag, eh?

Mr. Bobinsky is a borderline example — he's round and rotund, but with spidery legs. The Other Mother starts out looking like Coraline's mother, along with her legs. Gradually, she morphs and transforms throughout the story into a wizened, vaguely human creature with four spidery legs and arms made out of sewing needles.

Said doll also was the only way the Other Mother could spy on children so as to feed on them, hence why Wybie's grandmother got frantic on learning that Wybie gave it to Coraline. It's also suggested through a few subtle offhand details that Ms. Lovat has kept children away from the Pink Palace for long enough that the Other Mother fell behind her usual feeding cycle and has begun to starve, likely contributing to Coraline's ability to defeat her.

During the day it has only a brick wall behind it, but in her dreams it takes to another world with idealized versions of her parents and neighbours that only want to make her happy. It is a trap: the other world is governed by the creature Coraline calls the Other Mother, who lures children into consenting her to replace their eyes with buttons, so she'll eat them.

For example, when Coraline asks her real mother if she can go outside, saying she doesn't mind the rain, the Other Mother misinterprets her indifference to the weather as a passion for rain, and suggests playing hide-and-seek in a thunderstorm. This is also shown by how child-inappropriate the Other Spink and Forcible's performance is, and the living room's insectile transformation (see Big Creepy-Crawlies above).

Coraline fights them off and wonders why they were so determined to take it — and then she holds it up to her face and discovers that it can both see through the Other World's illusions and illuminate the glowing ghost eyes. Had the Other Mother not drawn attention to the stone in the first place, Coraline wouldn't have learned about its powers, and keep in mind that at that point, Coraline didn't even know what the eyes looked like.

Even though he's a slave to the Other Mother's will, there are clearly moments early on when he's using whatever limited freedom he has to help and warn Coraline. His piano song is an attempt to drop hints that the Other Mother is constantly watching her. When Coraline rejects having buttons sewn into her eyes, the Other Father is smirking at the Other Mother's failure. Then he goes the extra mile trying to demonstrate how "not painful" the process is, only to receive a sharp kick from the Other Mother. This is justified because unlike the other adults, who were made to entertain Coraline, the Other Father is made help Coraline not feel neglected or ignored by her father, as she feels her real father is doing, and so, like any father should, he comes to love her unconditionally. A consequence of that love is a protective desire he feels and acts on in subtle ways.

While the Other Father is meant to be a loving father, Other Wybie's good nature can be explained in that the Other Mother created him for one purpose: to please Coraline. What does she want most? Friends who would be fun to hang with and not weird, unlike her first impression of Wybie. Therefore, the Other Mother created him to be Coraline's close friend unconditionally. Unfortunately for her, this backfires horribly. Unfortunately for him, the Other Mother doesn't take kindly to insubordination.

Even the Other Father, who becomes a pumpkin, might be based on her real father's horrible cooking done out of love.

She also refused to rent out apartments in the Pink Palace, where the entrance to the Other World is, to tenants with children. She manages to protect her grandson in this fashion as well, so that by the time Coraline's family moves in, the Other Mother is starving and Coraline is her last hope. From a purely visual sense, the Other Mother's second transformation, which was probably too hard to transition even conceptually, let alone on screen with stop-motion.

Coraline / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: To The Nightmare Before Christmas: the pumpkins in the other mother's garden look like the Mayor of Halloweentown, and the tallest of the three ghost children resembles Shock. The cat is the same sort of black, scrawny specimen seen in Halloween Town, and when the Other Mother cracks an egg, the falling yolk is shaped like Jack Skellington's face. Similarly, when Wybie has his facemask/helmet on, he bears a strong resemblance to Barrel. To Pixar: one of the Shakespeare players has a baby in a backpack that looks a lot like Jack-Jack. The movers at the beginning are the "Ranft Bros.", caricatured after Jerome Ranft and the late Joe Ranft, who worked on The Nightmare Before Christmas and several Pixar films. The Other Father's slippers look an awful lot like Monkeybone... Not surprising. He has his own line of slippers as part of his cartoon show's marketing gimmick. The piano in the Other study has the gold word "Tadahiro" on it. Tadahiro Uesugi was a concept artist whom Henry Selick adored and who worked on the film. Probably unintentional, but the father's name, Charlie Jones, is very close to "Chuck" Jones, and the "tall, handsome beast" that Miss Forcible sees in Coraline's tea leaves may be referring to the cat, voiced by Keith David, who also provided the voice of Goliath. Then again, both may simply be an Epileptic Trees moment. On the other hand, Keith David himself is a tall, handsome beast. Wybie shares the same last name as a runaway Black child named Jessie Lovat in American Gods, though the surname is also mentioned in the book version of Coraline. Likely unintentional, but when the Other World is getting destroyed, it's just white with some black outlined objects. It's very similar to Super Paper Mario. Much of the Other Father's creepy dialogue when the Other Mother isn't around seems similar to Psycho. To Shakespeare: quite a lot. One poster in the old ladies' apartment reads "King Leer". The boy in the uniforms store yells "My kingdom for a horse!". Several lines from Hamlet are quoted during the theater scene. To top it off, Oregon natives will recognize the city the titular character's family moves to as Ashland, Oregon, where the Shakespeare Festival is held annually. A banner for the festival is visible in one scene. "What a piece of work is a man; how noble in reason; how infinite in faculty, in form and moving how express and admirable in action; how like an angel in apprehension; how like a god." Done awesomely, especially since they're saying it sarcastically, though Coraline and unfamiliar viewers wouldn't know it at the time. An old witch entices children into her home with treats in order to eat them up herself, and eventually gets killed by one of her could-have-been victims, who's also female. Sounds familiar?

Mr. Jones dates the Pink Palace at around 150 years old, and since we see three previous victims from that time span, it's implied that the Other Mother operates on a cycle of feeding every fifty years. It's further hinted that the evil is actually running behind schedule this time, given the young age of Ms. Lovat's sister in the last photo taken of her. For Ms. Lovat to be as old as she is in the present, more than fifty years would have passed since the photo was taken, suggesting that thanks to her efforts, Coraline is overdue, and that is why the Other Mother is so desperate.

Coraline / int_eb4086e3	comment	Big Creepy-Crawlies: The last touch of whimsy we see in the Other World is the Other Mother's transformation of the living room, with insect decor and living bug furniture. Word of God is that this is a misguided extrapolation of Coraline's dragonfly hair clips, which the Other Mother takes as her being a "bug enthusiast".

The Other World door is locked and the key is thrown down the old well, meaning the Beldam won't be able to prey on anyone else. Finally, her parents also complete their project, meaning they are able to spend a lot more time with her.

Coraline seems to take it as a time limit; at one moment the shadow notably (and audibly at that) grinds to a halt when the final ghost child's eye/soul is won.

She starts as a copy of Coraline's real mother, then gets thinner, spindlier, and overall wicked-looking. By the end of the movie, she reveals her true form — a spindly spider-human hybrid with cracked porcelain skin, metal legs, and hands with claws made of sewing needles. Clipped-Wing Angel: Coraline's final confrontation in the film isn't with the Other Mother herself, but her severed hand, which fights her in the real world to get the key back.

It's later used to Coraline's advantage when she has to help the ghost children, save her parents, and stop the Beldam, as Spink and Forcible transform it into the stone with a hole in it that Coraline uses to find the ghost children's souls. Overlapping with Book Ends, Coraline's first interaction with her mom has her accusing her of hating dirt despite writing about gardening for a living. Their last interaction in the movie has the mom admitting to her daughter (and herself) that she was right about her aversion to dirt.

The Cat is the most prominent example being that he follows Coraline into the Other World and outright says Coraline is wrong to think this world is a dream come true and he tries to talk her out of going back, only relenting when she says she has to save her parents and gives her tips on beating the Other Mother. The other (albeit unseen) example is Mr. Bobinski's circus mice. Th tell Bobinski to warn Coraline about the door, even calling her by her correct name, something Bobinski never does.

Coraline / int_ffb70786	comment	Abominable Auditorium: The Other World has its own theater run by the Other Miss Spink and the Other Miss Forcible; it seems a little bit on the grotesque side at first, given that the audience is composed entirely of dogs, while the only two performers are two old ladies performing a Bawdy Song and getting into a fight onstage — up until the Other Spink and Forcible unzip their skins and reveal their beautiful true selves in an impressive display of acrobatics. It's actually yet another one of the Other Mother's attempts to lure Coraline to her death; in the finale, as the glamour surrounding the other world breaks down, the theater becomes a haunting ruin, the audience has become a menacing flock of bat-dogs hanging from the ceilings, and the Other Spink and Forcible have been merged into a nightmarish taffy-like fusion.
