ok so i was watching a video about coraline and i suddenly noticed the tunnel has soft walls. like actually soft and fleshy, not just a normal hallway.
and then i thought about the ending — when coraline slams the door the whole tunnel just... wobbles. and the beldam is screaming. and coraline gets thrown out.🫨
idk it immediately reminded me of a throat, or intestines, or — yeah — a birth canal. the whole other world feels like a womb honestly. coraline goes in, gets everything she wants, then can't stay anymore and gets forced out while the "mother" screams.
and like both worlds are completely controlled by mothers?? the dads are basically irrelevant in both. it just fits.
has anyone else thought about this or idk maybe i'm reading too much into it...🤔
and also...... i remember the book describes the tunnel as feeling "hot and wet, like she'd put her hand inside someone's mouth" — and it even moves, like it's breathing??
this made me think of how kids ask their moms where they came from, and when the mom says "you came from my belly," the kid will innocently go: "then why did you swallow me into your belly?"
anyway that's the spark that made me post this. if i got anything wrong please go easy on me lol
Hello everyone, I've seen the movie at least fifteen times and I always have a question that grips me and never finds an answer, I've also read the book and at this point I think it can only be solved with theories.
How does the other mother see through the doll? and how does the doll move? that is, I know that the film has no rational elements but I still do not understand how it is possible, we do not see magical elements that allow you to fly or similar things so how is it possible?
Thanks to anyone who wants to give me an answer:)
Sorry if my English isn't perfect but I'm Italian, I apologize if I made mistakes
I hate to inform everyone that this beautiful pink and white taffy is cinnamon flavor. CINNAMON? What kind of an ANIMAL flavors that Beautiful pink and white taffy with CINNAMON. Coming from a cinnamon lover, it's an abomination. I just know the taffy in Coraline was a sweet beautiful strawberry + maybe even raspberry flavor or maybe even cotton candy or something 😋🥰 what flavor do you imagine it being?
I love coraline so much, I have merchandise of it but I only buy it secondhand as to not support Neil gaiman. It’s my favourite movie of all time and I watch it a lot and listen to the music a lot. It’s my biggest comfort ever but I feel so horrible loving it because Neil is so evil and apparently Henry selick is as well. It’s just really unfortunate and terrible cause I’ve been obsessed with the movie since I was only five years old and it’s been my favourite ever since. Is it bad that it’s still my special interest?
Idk pls no hate um dis my first time using reddit yayyy
Hi! I just love Coraline, I have some merch but I thought to make a personalized doll together with my best friend. She is a bit wonky and needs some touch ups. Any suggestions for what clothes to make for her, my own or more coraline-like clothes? :)
Thank you for all the love from the in progress post! Everyone made me smile it’s nice that there’s people who have geeked out as much as I do. I’ve repainted the lamp since but she’s finally finished. (If anybody is interested in owning this room my messages are open for offers (: )
