this movie. The other mother does a very good job of putting on a fake mask and personality when she first meets Coraline, because of this action the other mother is certain she will win over Coraline’s love and trust, but once Coraline refuses to let her sew on the buttons she finds that her other mother wasn’t who she thought she was and just wants to go back home to her real mother and father.
Within the first 30 minutes of the movie, there was a discovery of a button-eyed doll which is just the beginning of all Coraline’s adventures.
This doll is also shown at the beginning of the movie when the credits are showing and it is in the proses of being pulled apart and being put back together again. Originally, you would think of dolls as a comfort toy for most children. They offer a feeling of security. However, this image we have been shown at the beginning of the movie, (the Doll) being turned inside out, tells us that this is no longer a comfort toy and someone has used for evil. This also warns us that something wrong is about to take place in a world of a child. That is the toys purpose and it is much more sinister then we expect, When Coraline discovers a little door she asks her mother to open it up for her, it was just brick blocking it. Coraline was determined to know what was on the other side, but what Coraline didn’t know was that door was much more than a ‘Door’, it was in fact a magical port which takes her to the ‘Other World’. The other world was always better, ask any kid who was taken there. But this place was something she always dreamed
of.
