so there's theories circulating about this movie that her mom isn't really there and is dead from the accident she was in and she is just coping by pretending that she is. I can't remember if the dad was dead too, but I think they said the reason his neck was like that was that's the last way she saw him, mangled and twisted turning blue.. in alot of the people are representations of death bobinsky is blue and bloated

2023-09-20 11:20:53 +0000 UTCSince you liked this movie, I would highly recommend ParaNorman for the Halloween season. A great watch.

2023-09-14 02:10:10 +0000 UTCThe greatest stop motion animation movie of all time is “KUBO AND THE TWO STRINGS” with Charlize Theron and Matthew McConaughey. Do not… sleep… on… that… movie! It will blow your mind! 😉🤟🤯🪕⛩️🌙🎉🥇

2023-09-10 19:48:47 +0000 UTCIs it just me or have Nat's lead in to the intros become and interactive "Rocky Horror" type experience?

2023-09-10 08:12:41 +0000 UTCYes! James & the Giant Peach please. Also, look at the cast list of "9".

2023-09-10 08:11:39 +0000 UTCAlso even though it’s not a musical, the Other Fathers piano bop about Coraline never fails to get stuck in my head after watching this 😭 🎶She’s a peach, she’s a doll(👀), she’s a pal of MIIIIIINE🎶

2023-09-10 03:01:41 +0000 UTCAhahahahahaha I LOVE how you yell, like when u said "Her names CORALINE!!!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 great reaction and fun time watching with you.

2023-09-09 22:19:36 +0000 UTCOh my gosh! This was my first time watching this and I SUPER enjoyed this movie! Wow. Great pick everyone! :) This movie was definitely a fun one. CREEPY but fun. xD Really happy to have watched this. :) Had a blast and needed a good one like this. I am totes down for rewatching James and the Giant Peach on here, so that has my vote whenever it appears on polls in the future. :)

2023-09-09 21:08:38 +0000 UTCTravis Knight is one of the better nepo babies. Like, his dad basically gave him a film studio and he decided to use all that money and power to make complicated and interesting art in a style that was very out of fashion for the times and succeeded in reaching people. Kubo is a genuinely good film.
Jacob King
2023-09-09 12:14:48 +0000 UTCI really enjoyed this one. I remember not caring for it when it came out but I think that was more to do with 2009 me and not the movie. I had enjoyed the book and I might need to give it a reread now. La Belle Dame Sans Merci is a poem by Keats in which a ghost explains how he was trapped by a fairy lady (a common trope in English folklore). The other Mother is partly inspired by that tradition. The 2015 adaptation of The Little Prince is similar to Coraline with a spunky little girl protagonist and an adventure that moves in and out of different worlds. The animation in that movie is incredible.
Jacob King
2023-09-09 12:03:55 +0000 UTCOh, another fun fact, during the opening scene when the Coraline doll is being made, the tools in the “doll making” kit that we see are actually embalming tools
Daniel McGuinness
2023-09-09 09:47:57 +0000 UTCThree fun facts about Coraline Your guess at the beginning was actually a bit correct and the movie WAS originally planned to have musical style songs in it! There were originally to be around 10 songs written by alt rock band They Might Be Giants. The film makers ultimately decided against this idea, and the 30 second song by the Other Father is the only one of these that ended up staying in the movie. Wybie wasn't in the original novel. He was made for the film so Coraline would have someone to talk at during the movie, compared to the book format where it would be easier to have her internal thoughts. This is copy and pasted from the TvTropes page: When Neil Gaiman first gave Coraline to his editor, she didn't want to publish it because she thought kids would be too scared reading it. So he made a bet and had her read the book to her daughter. The editor's daughter apparently loved it, and so they published that draft. Years later, at an anniversary conference for the book, Gaiman ran into the daughter. He thanked her and told her the story how she was the real reason the book got published. The daughter laughed and admitted to him "Oh, I was terrified by the story. But it was so interesting that I lied to my mom so I could learn what happened next!" And Gaiman himself also doesn't quite categorize the story as a horror (from CBC): "Children react to the story fundamentally as an adventure. They may get a little bit scared, but it's an 'edge-of-your-seat, what's-gonna-happen-next, oh scary!' thing, because you're giving them a story about somebody like themselves," he explained. "Yes, they're going up against something dark and nasty. But it's like James Bond going up against a James Bond villain. You never have any doubt that James Bond is going to get through it." However, "adults get scared," he said. "Adults get disturbed, and I think one reason for that is because it's a story about a child in danger and I think we're hardwired to worry about children in danger."

2023-09-09 09:17:31 +0000 UTCI gotta say....THANK YOU FOR KNOWING THAT THIS IS A HENRY SELICK FILM! Seriously, it's a small thing. But I've known many many people that look at this and things like James and the Giant Peach and The Nightmare Before Christmas and think, "Wow, what a great Tim Burton movie!". Which, with Nightmare, he produced it and wrote the story. Okay, his influence is there. But so was Henry Selick's animation style. Same with James and the Giant Peach. Burton produced it, but it was based on a Roald Dahl story. Directed by Henry Selick. And with this, Burton had NOTHING to do with it. It's a novel by Neil Gaiman and later comic adaptation by him and P. Craig Russell. Adapted into film by Henry Selick. Yeah, it sounds petty. But while Tim Burton is certainly very talented, sometimes I dislike it when Henry Selick is lost within his shadow. Especially with projects like Coraline, in which Burton wasn't involved, but some people still think he was. (In fact, this film had the marketing slogan, "From the director of The Nightmare Before Christmas....". Which was technically true. But the marketing people knew perfectly well that people were thinking of Burton.) Anyway....it's a great movie. lol Really wonderful stop animation. It's kind of a dying art, due to how patient you have to be to do it. Moving forward, while I would recommend James and the Giant Peach, I would also recommend the works of the stop animation giant that make Coraline possible: Laika. They've got several gems under their belt: ParaNorman The Boxtrolls Kubo and the Two Strings Missing Link They're underrated, if only because stop animation isn't huge. But the style is so damn beautiful. And ParaNorman I can vouch for having a wonderful emotional core. And Kubo and the Two Strings obliterated me emotionally.

2023-09-09 05:35:01 +0000 UTCThere was a Coraline game! I remember I played it when I was a kid, it was on the Nintendo DS.
Traeix
2023-09-09 03:56:29 +0000 UTCHadn’t watched this since the week it came out. It was really fun rediscovering it with you! You’re right that it’s horror, not really a kids film. That seems to be the consensus. There were parents in our cinema when I watched it who had to take their children out. Understandable.
Sarah P
2023-09-09 03:19:53 +0000 UTCElite movie indeed! I'd even say, perfect. The style and animation is timeless. Looks just as good now as it ever did, in fact, maybe even more with modern screens. The writing, the music, the cinematography. So good.
David Melo
2023-09-09 02:59:14 +0000 UTCFun Fact: Without Nike you wouldn’t have Laika films. Laika was co-founded by Phil Knight and his son Travis who is the CEO. Phil Knight is the co-founder of Nike. This is why every Laika film gets a special Nike collab. Laika films are almost never profitable, but they’ll essentially stay open forever cuz of Nike.

2023-09-09 02:30:11 +0000 UTClove coraline, glad you finally watched it! Suggestion for another animated halloween movie. Monster House! Spooky vibes but overall just a fun movie with high meme potential. I keep getting recommended youtube clips of the movie lol. Would love to rewatch it!

2023-09-09 01:15:54 +0000 UTCLove this movie. Such a great hero's journey as you noticed. This was made during the height of 3D movies and is one of the few I thought used it well. If you pay attention there's a lot of scenes with things approaching the screen meant to be enhanced by the 3D.
Adam Session
2023-09-09 00:22:48 +0000 UTCElite movie! And a great soft start to spooky season! This movie is littered with so many Easter eggs and bits of trivia that it’s almost better on a rewatch - like Bobinsky wearing the Russian hero medal for service at Chernobyl, when the Other Mother says it’s raining the lightning bolt that appears at the window is in the shape of the Bedlams hand, and on the “Welcome Home!” cake the “o” is double-looped which supposedly (according to graphology) means the person that wrote it is lying 👀
Daniel McGuinness
2023-09-09 00:19:12 +0000 UTClastly (fun?) fact: bobinsky was in the chernobyl disaster, painting him blue
Ariana Mitchell
2023-09-08 23:09:55 +0000 UTCi think it's really easy on the first watch to brand coraline's mom as bad since we are seeing her through coraline. there's all these little sprinkles throughout the film that lets you know she's not ALWAYS like this, it's just a stressful time for her, and mothers usually have to be the bad guys let's be real. but i also know all too well wanting your parents' attention and not receiving it which is a different hurt as an only child
Ariana Mitchell
2023-09-08 23:08:26 +0000 UTCWas fun revisiting this movie with you Nat! Question to everyone else, did the movie become out of sync for you guys and you had to pause for a second to let it catch up or is it an issue with my setup? I was watching with the 4K disc that came out a few months ago
Jason Gillman
2023-09-08 22:11:34 +0000 UTCi saw this in theatres when i was... eight? terrified little me to death, but i've come to appreciate it and now it's a yearly rewatch for me. i've heard the book is much scarier
Ariana Mitchell
2023-09-08 21:14:53 +0000 UTCFantastic Mr. Fox and Isle of Dogs would be great reactions
Ian
2023-09-08 21:14:32 +0000 UTCBeen waiting since last October for this, let's go! That you know of Little Nightmares is amazing! Wanna suggest Corpse Bride as well 🖤
Darchangel
2023-09-08 19:20:40 +0000 UTCAnother great stop motion picture is Kubo and The Two Strings. Please add that to a poll! You won't be disappointed.
Walter Lopez
2023-09-08 18:22:30 +0000 UTCI see we’re getting Natmares started early this year.
Ben Wheeler
2023-09-08 18:05:55 +0000 UTCAs someone who grew up on Henry Selick's movies (Nightmare Before Christmas, James and the Giant Peach, Coraline, etc) I would definitely recommend watching James and the Giant Peach. It's based off a children's book like Coraline but by Roald Dahl who wrote the books for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Matilda as James and the Giant Peach.

2023-09-08 17:09:58 +0000 UTCOh good! You survived Burning Man 2023. Yall should get a shirt 😂 "I survived Burning Man 2023"

Mastervodo
2023-09-08 16:38:27 +0000 UTCAs an adult, the buttons for eyes was as unsettling as Judge Doom in Who Framed Roger Rabbit for me as a kid. And I believe Neil Gaiman who wrote the original novel (and comic adaptation, check out both), intended this story to essentially be a horror story for kids. Still unnerves me as an adult.

2023-09-08 16:24:40 +0000 UTCHappy Friday nat been wanting you to react to this for 3 yrs so finally here we go 🥳 I've almost forgot what a nat reaction is as I don't watch korra and the last few poll winners before this and the current one I have no interest in and Sherlock I will wait for the yt edits so I'm going to enjoy this one for sure 🥳 I hope you enjoyed it and I'm hyped to find out

2023-09-08 16:17:49 +0000 UTCI just watched this last weekend for the first time with my niece and nephew.

2023-09-08 16:10:10 +0000 UTCHappy Feature Friday Nat. Hope you've had a good week. Not watched this movie before so I've been looking forward to it and watching along with you this evening 😊 Enjoyed this movie Nat. A lot of kooky characters and I recognised some of the voices. Ian McShane as Bobinsky, who was also Winston in the John Wick movies. The music was very cool too. Started off very much like nursery rhymes and then went very gothic. Thanks for a great reaction today Nat, and thanks for all your work this week. Great to have you back. Have a brilliant weekend 💛
