Sex & Nudity
-
- During the scene with the Other Spink and Other Forcible's show, there are cut outs of very muscular men rowing boats and the like, and one of them was shirtless wearing something around his waist, probably not pants, but absolutely nothing was shown.
- At one point in the movie what appears to be an ample-sized button-eyed Forcible on a stage wearing only glitter shaped patches over her nipples and a thong, revealing enormous breasts (which are animated bouncing) and buttocks along with bare abdomen, legs and back, actually turns out to be a rather skinny woman dressed in both a full-body leotard, and an ample-woman costume. Similarly, what appears to be another ample woman on stage wearing a mermaid costume that reveals cleavage, bare abdomen, back and arms, is also a rather skinny woman dressed in a full-body leotard, wearing a costume. Coraline, in the audience, exclaims, "She's practically naked!" before the rest of us learn that neither woman is even nearly naked. This scene is mild and for laughs.
-
- The Other Father makes a light sexual joke about the chicken breasts that the Other Mother cooked.
-
- Coraline's father points his hand at his buttocks after telling her that he has writer's rash on that area just right before her mother awkwardly interrupts their conversation.
Violence & Gore
-
- The Other Mother bites off a living chocolate beetle's head and eats it.
- Coraline throws a cat at the other mother at one scene. The cat rips off the other mother's eyes shortly afterwards. Though these "eyes" happen to be buttons.
- Coraline cuts her knee.
- Other Wybie, who has had his mouth sewn with stitches by the Other Mother so that he is smiling forcibly (very painful looking), gets the stitches removed by Coraline. However, when he takes his glove off, his hand disintegrates into sawdust, implying that the Other Mother will harm him further. Coraline later sees his empty clothes hanging from a pole, implying that he was killed.
- A cat kills two rats over the duration of the movie. One of them is decapitated off screen and his severed head is seen lying on the ground with dust pouring out of it.
- We see a wall covered in taxidermied dogs wearing angel clothing. Later in the movie, the woman who owns these is seen dressing up a living dog in the same costume, saying that she is just preparing for the dog's inevitable death, as the dog is ill.
- In one scene, the protagonist is briefly strangled. The mark is visible for the rest of the scene.
- Other Mr. Bobinsky disintegrates into a plague of rats who proceed to attack Coraline by shooting cotton candy out of cannons. One of the rats causes the protagonist to trip and fall onto the balcony. This causes the balcony to suddenly collapse, throwing Coraline onto the ground at a tremendous force.
- In the beginning a pair of needle-like hands are seen taking apart a doll. Though there is no gore or violence, some people may still find it unsettling.
Profanity
-
- 3 uses of God.
- The term "rat crap" is used.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- In one scene, Coraline's mother tells Coraline that Mr. Bobinski is drunk. Coraline later tells her mother: "Mr. B is not drunk mum, he's just eccentric."
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- During the "One, two, three!" scene, the Other Mother is not happy with Coraline's demands. We see her morph into half beldam, half other mother. This is easily the scariest scene of the film, and there are plenty of contenders.
- The Beldam can be frightening to some.
- When the other father says "He pulled a LOOOONG FACE!", he stretches his mouth grotesquely wide, and his piano/robot hands shut him up and mush his face.
- As Coraline collects ghost eyes, rumbling is heard on the moon. After collecting all three ghost eyes, the moon eclipses into a full button, and we hear a loud "BANG!". The entire world goes gray and fades, and Coraline and the cat make it inside, facing a final battle with the Beldam. She's completely cracked, creepy, and monstrous.
- The start of the movie isn't intense but it is very gloomy and creepy, it shows the beldams sewing hands making a creepy doll of Coraline in a dark lit room and throwing it out of a window.
- A scene were the other Wybie pulls Coraline from out the mirror played as a jump scare, she tries to resist and pull away, then pulls of the mask (looks like a chicken mask) revealing Wybie with a very freaky sewn-on smile, but turns out who is actually not evil and was actually helping her escape, still scary.
- Coraline comes home, parents are stuck in a mirror in cold and write with their hands "HELP US", clearly terrified, Coraline smashes the mirror and cries, she later sees the doll except 2 faced with both her parents (creepy), she throws it angrily in a fire and it disintegrates, she makes pillows shaped as her parents faces pretending they are her parents (not disturbing but depressing)
- Scenes that are scary and disturbing, some are loud, jumpscares, disturbing imagery, gloomy dark settings, creepy undertones, some violence, the artificial plastic world even when bright and happy looking still feels very fake and weird
- The button eyes of the "Other" world are a prominent and creepy motif. Seemingly friendly characters appear with sewn buttons in place of their eyes, robbing them of humanity and instilling a chilling and uncanny appearance.
- One of the scariest animated movies ever made. Should have been rated PG-13 at least, despite being stop-motion and featuring a kid protagonist.
- There are many scenes and images in "Coraline" that are likely to scare young children.
- The Other Mother screams in an insane, loud, high pitched way.
- The Other Mother becomes extremely thin, and tall, with a grotesquely long neck, spindly mechanical looking fingers and legs. She is extremely menacing in both manner and speech. Her face also cracks at one point.
- Other Father chases Coraline on a Praying Mantis-like contraption while wailing in a ghostly voice, this contraption attempts to spear Coraline as she runs from it.
- Other Mother sews the mouth shut of the Other Father, and sews it into a grin in a misshapen manner.
- Other Father pulls his mouth open grotesquely wide.
- There are a few jump scares during the scene when Coraline finds the ghost eyes.
Spoilers
Violence & Gore
- The beldams goal is to lure, murder, eat, stab eyes and sew buttons into children, ghost children in their bloody bed describe getting their lives aten
- The other mothers metal hand gets chopped off in a door closing and later in the movie moves and attacks Coraline
- The other mother is shown during the opening credits, sewing and refashioning a doll to look like the film's protagonist; however, the tools in her kit are not sewing tools, they are embalming tools, and the process used to make the doll look like coraline are similar to what happens to a corpse during the embalming process prior to burial. This adds an even more frightening facet to the story for those who know what the tool kit contains and what the ominous instruments are used for.
- Coraline's other mother is first shown as being friendly, and later is revealed as evil. She asks Coraline to sew buttons onto her eyes multiple time throughout the movie.
- After rejecting the Other Mother's demands for her to stay in the Other World forever, Coraline is imprisoned in a dark place with three eerie ghost children. It is heavily implied that Coraline's other mother killed these children and gouged out their eyes. After promising to retrieve the three eyes to set the ghost children's souls free, she is rescued by Other Wybie.
- A cat rips the Other Mother's button eyes off.
- Coraline's Other Father uses his praying mantis vehicle to attack the protagonist but he later drowns after the weight of his vehicle causes a bridge to collapse.
- Two women are seen tied together in a candy-shaped cocoon and they attack the protagonist for the ghost eye but the protagonist throws her torch on a flock of bats, which wakes them up and they eventually swoop down and attack the two women and their faces are left distorted from the attack.
- Coraline kicks the Other Mother's head to escape the Other World and with the help of the three ghost children, she slams the door onto the Other Mother's hand, resulting in it being severed. Moments later, the severed hand stalks Coraline and just before she can throw the key down a deep well, it attacks her and Wybie, who arrives to help. Wybie later crushes the hand with a stone and they both throw the key and hand together the well.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- When the Beldam screams "DON'T LEAVE ME! I'LL DIE WITHOUT YOU!", it can easily scare.
- A big man in creepy circus clothing reveals he's "not even that anymore" in a distorted creepy voice (he's not a copy of a person) and takes off his top hat and rats come out of his clothes.
- One of the most intense parts is when coraline is looking for one of the eyes in the theatre and opens a giant candy wrapper and sees 2 candy peoples hands with a ring with the eye on it, she pulls the hands and suddenly the candy people looking disfigured and sounding distorted yell thief loud in a jump scare and grab her hand ans try to pull her, coraline throws a flashlight at bats and they eat the candy people
- It deals with the main character getting separated from her parents at one point and almost gets tricked by the villain into becoming her meal. The movie goes a completely different direction within the second act. What starts out as a typical family/fantasy film eventually turns into a horror film that is dark and sinister. The villain's appearance can be incredibly frightening to all audiences and anyone with pediophobia and arachnophobia will easily be frightened since the villain resembles a doll and slowly starts to morph into a spider more and more throughout the climax of the film.
- The overall plot of a demonic beldam disguising herself as the victim's mother in order to steal their souls and eat their lives is quite disturbing.
- One of the later plot points of the movie involves Coraline searching for the eyes of three ghost children whose lives were consumed by the Other Mother.
