First time watching Coraline - Well, this movie creeped me out! 

Neil Gaiman has said that Coraline was the most interesting book he's written because children perceive it as adventure but adults perceive it as horror. It's truly incredible.

This was the go to movie the substitute teacher would throw on in highschool. I'm glad I wasn't the only one horrified and confused while not being able to look away.

I'm so glad you reacted to this movie - it's so insane and creepy and one of my favorites, lol. Cat is MVP! Also, it's easy to miss at first, because Coraline is a child and doesn't notice these things, but Coraline's parents are under huge financial stress: Mom is wearing a neck brace, implying some sort of physical injury and therefore medical/insurance burdens. That's why they tip poorly, put off buying real food and the non-essential things Coraline wants, and they're so fixated on finishing their freelance work project so they can get paid. Coraline just knows that her parents don't have any time for her and they're curt with her, so she's unhappy with them, making her a perfect target for the Other Mother.

As a grown woman, I do see Coralines Prents in a very different light. 1st, the mom has a brace on her neck and even mentiones an accident, 2nd, they have just moved to a place quite a ways a away it seems and 3rd the parents seem to be really stressed about this dead line. This, to me paints a picture of: Mom had an accident, the medical bills are piling up, maybe they had to move to a cheaper place, because while this house is big, it is also old and seemingly at the ass end of nowhere. They really, really have to meet this deadline because if they don't get cash flwing in soon, they'll be in real trouble. Notice how the mom said no to the Gloves that had a clear Pricetag and then bought them for Coraline after they got the Catalogue out? It screames "We are tight on money right now and it is eating us alive and we don't want to tell her kid and alarm her" to me Also, the fact that when she was in real trouble, Coraline did not hesistae to look for her parents to help her and ven made the simulacrums out of Pillows suggests to me that, while they surely have her ups and downs, Coralines parents love her and she _does_ feel loved and secure with them, just not always heard

"You realize you're walking right into her trap." "I have to go back. They are my parents." "Challenge her, then. She may not play fair, but she won't refuse. She's got a THING for games." The perfect Halloween classic. Fun Fact: Neil Gaiman has said that out of all the film and television adaptations of his books, Coraline (2009) is his favorite. Lost In Adaptation Fact: The character Wybie Lovat (Robert Bailey Jr.) is not in Neil Gaiman's novel. He was created so Coraline (Dakota Fanning) would not have to talk to herself and so she would have a friend her own age. Historical Fact: Mr. Bobinsky (Ian McShane) is wearing the Hero Of The Soviet Union for service at the Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster on April 26, 1986. Which reads on the front "Participant In The Clean-up Campaign" and the "4A3C" is a "Chernobilskaya Nuclear Power Plant" indication. This medal is unique as it is the only medal in the world awarded for participation in a nuclear clean up. That might explain his skin complexion and odd behavior. Mythology Fact: The Other Mother's (Teri Hatcher) name "Beldam" is an archaic word meaning: a malicious and ugly woman, especially an old one; a witch. It was once traditional on Halloween night for kids to dare each other to knock on the neighborhood Beldam's door (an elderly woman living near them). In many stories, a Beldam closely resembles a spider and lures children into her home with candy and treats, only to trap them inside a cobweb and liquefy their innards with venom. In other variations, the Beldam just traps kids in her home and eats them.

I think this film is really important for children. The original Grimm stories are also much darker, but only so children learn something.When you consider how many children are abducted, abused and killed, these stories are worth their weight in gold.

The stop-motion of this movie is next-level! Also, I hope you have been enjoying John Wick, I can't wait for those videos!

This is one of my absolute favorite movies! Loved getting to see you experience it!!

Love this movie so much, back then I was like 10 or 11 and it scared the crap out of me. Now its my comfort movie Edit: Its stop motion, the studio has a ton of videos on here on how they made it, its really interesting.

When I was a kid, this movie creeped and fascinated me. I saw it less of a horror and more adventure tbh.

Genuinely a creepy movie - not just for kids. Not scary but not pleasant. Watching your face as the movie goes on and gets more twisted was very entertaining lol I still have the DVD that came with the 3D glasses from when it first came out. Glad you enjoyed this one even with its darker themes :)

The whole movie is stop motion and everything in it is intentional, it’s worth watching over and over to see all the little details that went into making it; like the doll opening scene the tools the Other Mother used are old mortician tools, and the doll was Ms.Loback’s sister before being made into Coraline, there is also a book which is a lot darker

I’m always excited to see how people react to this movie. One of my favorites. Saw it for the first time in theaters when I was 16. It freaked me out pretty bad at moments…at 16 years old! But now at 30, I love coming back to it every year. Still freaky, but I don’t jump anymore haha

The Bobinsky/Mr. Kite comparison is perfect!

This is my favorite movie and has been for years! The amount of details and secrets throughout the film are crazy! It would probably take an entire day to completely dissect the whole movie and it’s theories. They have a museum in Seattle (for all of Laika films) and I’m genuinely so upset I live on the opposite side of the country.

Back when I was a kid I could never understand why this movie was so creepy like everyone else said it was but now that I watch it when I’m older I understand and see more of what makes this movie truly creepy

if you want another stop motion horror adjacent kids movie you should check out paranorman if you havent yet! if i recall correctly it's also by laika (the studio that did coraline)

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.

This movie was stop-motion in case nobody answered that for you already. It's really in a league of its own in that there's not really anything like it that I've seen. Nightmare Before Christmas and James and the Giant Peach (both from the same director as Coraline) have a similar stop-motion animation style, yes, but Coraline feels unique even compared to them IMO.

This film scared the shit out of me as a kid i havent watched this movie for years

I remember when it came out. My sister and I saw the trailer but as soon as we saw the button eyes we just said nope and didn't touch it again for about a year. Now its my favorite.

Well, if this movie creeped you out, it did its job!

That soundtrack melody scatting you hear is done by a French children's choir singing in gibberish. The Sims singing, basically.

A good movie I love the most is called Gnomeo and Juliet the first one is the best I think there’s actually two of them but I’d love to see your reaction to the first one if possible, also, thanks for watching this movie I subscribe so I’ll be waiting for more updates

Yes, this movie is definitely unsettling. It reminds me of old fairy tales--the ones that were clearly not intended for children! (The Victorians were the ones that cleaned them up and made them cute and pretty. The originals are pretty horrifying.) My favorite horror movie? That would be Tremors. I like my horror with a big helping of comedy! ;D

I’ve always loved kids movies like this, the ones that make you question how it’s for kids, like Jack and the Cuckoo-Clock Heart, corpse bride, the last unicorn, ect, they just have this specific vibe. it’s confusing and creepy but both are what make it so special, it’s a specific feeling and have a way of making it impossible to look away or not be interested even if you have seen it many times. The confusion or lack of interest is usually the down fall of movies, but for these movies that’s what makes them so good. You aren’t supposed to understand it like that, the more confused you are enhances the experience, i don’t think I can put it into words that can do it justice but I tired and I hope it’s somewhat understandable

"Coraline into the colon, let's go!"

The closest film we'll ever get to a stop motion style Groundhog Day! LOL I'm fixin' to purchase this twisted film, I'm lovin' it, I have no doubt it was 8 I would have been having nightmares! LOL

This movie was based on a book by Neil Gaiman (You may know him from "The Sandman", "American Gods",or "Good Omens")and I have three little Tidbits that are really interesting in regards to changes form the book to the Silver screen 1. There is no Wybie. Yeah. Wybie does not exist in the books. Coraline trapped the hand at the end with a clever ruse. 2. That Tunnel Coraline goes through? In the book it does not look this magical, it is dark, but kind of warm and it turns out... it is alive. I'm just gonna quote the books here directly: "It was an uphill run, and it seemed to her that it went on for a longer distance than anything could possibly go. The wall she was touching seemed warm and yeilding now, and, she realised, it felt as if it was covered in a fine downy fur. It moved, as if it were taking a breath. She snatched her hand away from it. (..) This time what she touched felt hot and wet, as if she had put her hand in somebody’s mouth, and she pulled it back with a small wail.(...) She knew that if she fell in that corridor she might never get up again. Whatever that corridor was was older by far than the other mother. It was deep, and slow, and it knew that she was there…" 3. In the book, the Beldame is not mentioned to have scissor hands. As far as the description goes we can assume the hands are flesh and blood. The handdetaching scene still happens. You can draw your own conclusion from here

...dragonflies..... Those were dragonflies.... Like the ones that are hung up around her bed and themed throughout her whole bedroom....

haha love the Beatles for the benefit of mr kite reference!

This was my FAVORITE movie as a kid and even now it’s in my top 2 movies! This movie is STOP MOTION which makes it even more impressive

An interesting (and mostly ignored or underrated) watch would alo be Alan Parker's movie 'Angel Heart'

Coraline is Laika stpp motion.

If you want to watch any scary or horror movies for October I definitely recommend starting with a classic like Nightmare on Elm Street . Unless you've already seen it. You may recognize some famous actors.

Please watch the movie "9" from 2009 It's so good and follow the genre of this movie Just.. I little bit more creepier 😅 but still being promoted as a children movie

The delightfully devilish Simpsons references are always appreciated.

This was/is one my favorite movies growing up (idk what that says about me mind you this didn’t scare me as a kid which is probably why my favorite genre is horror)

Have you ever seen ParaNorman or Kubo? They're also stop animations by Laika, great films.

This is the third video I’ve seen from your channel, and I love it! I love the way you react and your comments!! You seem so kind and friendly 🫶🏻💟 PD: In the opening scene, when the other mother is making the Coraline doll, she’s using a embalming instruments. I find that so creepy and interesting….

Her parents were in a car accident and her mom got injured, they have to do this work cuz they need money lol

It's very Tim Burton-esque

Hey, I know this is a very random request, but you should react to the Five Nights at Freddy's movie trailer. 3 Movies has been confirmed and it has the chance to spawn into a massive movie/series franchise like Marvel. (it's based on the video-game series btw if you didn't know) It is literally the most accurate game-to-movie adaptation ever in history. Creator of the games wrote the movie script himself, it's gonna be a masterpiece. It's an extremely underrated franchise with heaps of story that's honestly insane. It could literally win rewards for best story.

PLEASE do #KuboandtheTwoStrings with this one. It's the same studio n has an EPIC story

Typed too much, so big delete. Loved the react n hope you check out mary & max someday. (2009).

have you ever seen the Dark Crystal or Labryinth???? FCWI Etc

10:00 That Miriam girl is... odd.

When you reacting to john wick 3 and brewstew. There is two new ones i thinku missed

02:22 bro was confused 03:13 i'm sorry but i just realised that you're not american(your accent) although you kinda looks like american to me 04:26 yep

I like the movie but find Coraline so unlikeable.....like yeah she's totally neglected, but she's also a complete ass to the one guy who wants to be her friend

Honestly the main thing I remember about this movie is always the mouse circus. Random and adorable af
