30 Things You Missed in Coraline (2009)
Coraline is loaded with twisted references and creepy, dark secrets... how many of them did you know about?
I always get requests to cover Henry Selick's creepy, gothic 2009 stop-motion nightmare, Coraline. And since it happens to be one of my favorite movies, and one of the only animated horror films I know of to come out of the Western Hemisphere, I thought it to be a perfect candidate for an episode of Things You Missed.
From hidden easter eggs self self-referencing the animators and director, to the tie ins and nods to Neil Gaiman's 2002 novella Coraline, to the somewhat disturbing symbols such as hands and insects that come up over and over throughout the movie, to connections to other horror movies, messed up origins, and more... there is plenty to take note of that you may have overlooked last time you watched it!
--About Coraline--
From Henry Selick, the visionary director of THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS,and based on Neil Gaiman's best-selling book, comes this spectacular stop-motion animated adventure! Coraline Jones (Dakota Fanning) is bored until she finds a secret door and discovers an alternate, better, version of her life on the other side. When this seemingly perfect world turns dangerous, and her other parents-including her Other Mother (Teri Hatcher)- try to trap her forever; Coraline must use her resourcefulness, determination and bravery to escape this perilous world- and save her family.
