*YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE IS OFF* There is a scene where Coraline and her mother are in the car. Coraline ask her mom "what do you think's in the other apartment" and her mom replies "Not a family of Jone's imposters. That's for sure" *WHICH MEANS THERE IS ANOTHER APARTMENT. 4 APARTMENTS ALL TOGETHER. BUT IF YOU REMEMBER THE SCENE WHERE CORALINE FINDS MR. BOBINSKY'S MAIL. THERE IS ONLY THREE MAILBOXES.* So what is up with that other apartment? And in the book she mentioned something about there being another apartment. In both the book and the movie the other apartment is only mentioned once. It is a small but important detail. I also noticed the nightlight in Caroline's room. I have mentioned this before. It is for making wishes. The Night-light holds your wishes until they come true. The first time the mouse enters her room the night light turns on and Spins. So I think somehow Coraline wished for a better world. And somehow through magic she got her "better world".
@@Lucky10279 maybe. Or pixies. The definition of fairies and pixies are different. Apparently Pixies are magic creatures too, but they don't have wings and they are very mischievous. Maybe the Beldam is a type of pixie
I think that Wybie is a fairy because it makes sense. The well is connected to the beldames house and that's why he threw the key down there and just pretended to be helping at the end of the film.
He's also the one who tells coraline about how the well is so deep if you fell at the bottom and looked up you'd see a sky full of stars, and he just can't know that out of the blue.
I have a question about the end. At the end we can see Coraline "escaping" from the "other world",right? So,Coraline thinks that she's on the real world again,right?But is/when Beldam's going to eat Coraline????I mean,Beldam is faking to be her mother,but for how long?I have a theory that Beldam is going to kill Coraline and then eat her.I don't know...
Would also explain why there’s a large garden at the pink palace with dead stuff. They took the garden life with them. When the grandmothers family was there it there would have been heaps of plants. It would have been there “fairy garden”. But now pink palace has plant life surrounding it because it followed there fairy owners.
all of the Beldame’s victims are around the age of 10-12 the reason Wybie’s grandmother allowed the Jones’ to move in is because Wybie was 11 years old at the time and so was Coraline, so instead of taking ANY possible risks of Wybie’s life, she basically sacrificed Coraline in place of Wybie just in case there was any possible chance that the Beldame could get him.
Was watching the movie just recently and I realized, Wybie and the other mother gave coraline magic healing dirt! Coraline was holding the poison oak stick with both hands yet the movie only broadcast her having a rash on her left hand and the other mother gives her dirt that heals it. But what about the other hand? Well when coraline introduces herself to wybie as coraline Jones he shakes her right and gets it all muddy and she proceeds to wipe it on her jacket! Perhaps were these both examples of magical fairy mud?!!!!
I noticed whenever Wybie begins to tell Coraline about the well, his grandmother’s sister, the pink palace, his grandmother calls him right away as if interrupting him from letting Coraline know too much..
Okay, saw the whole thing through and had a bizarre thought: what if Mrs. Lovat's twin wasn't really her twin--but the changeling designated to take her place? There's an obscure branch of mythology that believed that fairies would shift to human form to trade place with humans, at least for a little while. Now, there is a picture of the two together--but what if they're not twins? What if, while the two were playing, the Beldam got the *real* little girl and the changeling grew up *as* the little girl? Not only would that give more credence to Wybie being part fairy, but would also explain why Mrs. Lovat is getting desperate to get the Beldam--as a fairy, she can't go home (fairy world or land) until the human girl is released, because they can't exist in fairyland at the same time. Just a thought.
I have a question about the end. At the end we can see Coraline "escaping" from the "other world",right? So,Coraline thinks that she's on the real world again,right?But is/when Beldam's going to eat Coraline????I mean,Beldam is faking to be her mother,but for how long?I have a theory that Beldam is going to kill Coraline and then eat her.I don't know...
As long as Coraline doesn't question her surroundings or try to leave, she's perfectly safe, because if she dies the Beldam has to hunt for another child, and I think it's fair to say that children are hard to come by for her at this point in her story. So, she'll keep Coraline alive as long as possible so that she can keep feeding off her. But yes, I think you're right; eventually Coraline will question things or try to leave as she grows up--and if the Beldam can't scare her back into frightened obedience she probably will kill her then--but not until then, if that makes sense.
Wow. So many twists and turns. Coraline is literally my favorite movie of all time and seeing how this theory just changed my whole point of view, its even better! Thanks for the theories!
This actually makes sense, and I don't usually watch Coraline theories. I personally like the idea that they are trying to take out the Other Mother, however, maybe they want to take her place as capturing children for themselves. Keep making awesome videos!!
On the changeling thing: changeling is the name for the replaced child and/or thier replacement. I did a bit of research, and found that fear dearg (I might be missing an accent or have a slight spelling error) is the proper name of the fairy that does the exchanging. Just thought I'd add that to help with any further theorizing research, since the more specific name may get you better search results.
I really like this theory! I'm not sure if this has been said, but from what I remember, Wybie is the only one from the Pink Palace world that seems to control himself. The other father and the others seem more robotic and there for show, yet Wybie has more control over his actions and influence over Coraline (like when he pulls her out of the mirror, stitches his mouth shut, etc). That always seemed weird to me, but this theory makes those make sense. Also, it fits with how guilty Wybie looks, like he knows he's leading her into the other fairies trap.
Hey I made it to the end C: You're doing an awesome work and after a loooooong first day of 8th grade (Sweden) it made me really happy to come home to this C: I really enjoy your theories and especially the ones about Coraline since it is my favorite film,, sadly I havn't found anywhere to buy it since the local movie renting store in Växjö only has ONE sample (unbelievable since it's such a great movie) and they can't sell the movies unless they have a couple of them ): Anyway, have a Greaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat day :3
Your comment has made my day! Thank you! And, I'm surprised that there isn't a way to buy movies more easily in Sweden. Here in the US they're sold in every store, everywhere online, and even at kiosks like Red Box. I hope you have luck finding it in the future, or that it comes to Netflix over there!
aenil vinter I like Denmark a lot, I've been in Copenhagen four times and really enjoy it since it's just a train ride from home, I wonder if I would understand you if you wrote Danish.
3:27 Actually, it makes perfect sense if she's trying to protect her grandson from it "Oh a stranger's kid won't feel as bad as losing my children's children."

Yes I’ve always wanted it to be a situation where the cat is trying to protect coralline
Not Coraline related but ive got a Peter pan theory that I haven't heard a UA-camr lean on yet, here it is PETER PAN-----> Pan is a greek god that created the pan-flute (that peter pan plays) Pan had 12 children that were 1/2 goat (lost boys dress up as animals - there's only 6 but its disney) He was accompanied my nymphs (mermaids aka water nymphs) Pan's birthplace is Arcadia witch is referred to as imaginary idyllic paradise and immortalized (neverland, you never grow up) There was a small revolutionary war (captain hook represents Panagiotis Kephalas a commander in the war) that near caused ghost towns of villages (indian tribes)
An amazing theory. I love that you are fluid enough to not dig in your heals once you have made a theory and that you will play around with other thoughts and possibilities.
Great theory! Also I thought of a plot hole for your other coraline theories maybe you could make a video to explain it: so the plot hole that if you remember the scene in the other world right before coraline goes back in the house for the beldam to give her the button eyes we see the other wybie being sad and the beldam smiles at him essentially telling him to pretend to be happy. So if you are saying that the residents of the other world are puppets for the beldam why would other wybie be sad. We can't even explain it as part of the act since coraline wasn't around at that moment so there would be no reason to act. This is it. Again if you could make a theory to fix this hole it would be pretty cool. :)
Hmm, maybe I didn't clarify it enough, but in my own head, I'm saying puppet and thinking more like when the Beldam isn't present. Like, she can control herself or someone else, but not both at the same time. So she has to get irritated with the Other Father for saying too much because she's standing there and can't "poses" him, as it were. Same with Other Wybie looking sad, Coraline's standing behind them so she can't just take him over (which she probably had been doing at the show, hence no sadness or remorse displayed then. Hope that makes some sense! lol
SprotossP, I think what she means is that the Beldam have limitations. I think it is like you are playing a video game where your player needs something, but you yourself may also need something. I hope this helps.☺
I have a question about the end. At the end we can see Coraline "escaping" from the "other world",right? So,Coraline thinks that she's on the real world again,right?But is/when Beldam's going to eat Coraline????I mean,Beldam is faking to be her mother,but for how long?I have a theory that Beldam is going to kill Coraline and then eat her.I don't know...
SprotossP It could be part of her elaborate plan, making wybie pretend to be sad and , the fact that she knew that there was only one key and made per puppete explicitly mention that multiple times is a bit suspicious and that she opened the door at the end as if she didn't know coraline was going to make a run for it. If she knew enough to know coraline was moving in she know she would also fail to trap her the traditional way she did 3 times before she had to make the illusion stronger because there is one big issue with coraline ....she isn't actually unhappy with her family no she doesn't like how things are but it's very clear they were not that way in Michigan and they just moved there , she was feeling the effects of the situation and she knew this and as such she knew her plan had to be much stronger
This is a cool concept. When you mentioned the deleted scene with the spider I actually have a theory on that scene. Remember when you said you think Mrs. Jones got possessed by the Beldam early on? I think the spider was a representation of the Beldam and when Mrs. Jones drank the coffee with the spider in it she got possessed. It’s not obvious but it’s just a theory. Cause it makes sense to me
I like the idea of having different theories either exist together or being separate from your other theories, if that makes sense. I loved this video and I'd be happy to see more Cornelius theories-or theories for sources that you've already done- which don't necessarily go along with what you've previously suggested.
This video was really Fun and entertaining. And starting out with a completely empty table was very smart. 'Cause it really helps realizing new things/theories. And you are the reason I actually started liking Coraline. When I first watched it I thought it was too odd and scary for me. But then I watched a couple of your Coraline videos and started realizong how good the movie really is. So Thank you Fangirl❤
Proofs I found of Beldam's foresight: When Coraline forcibly goes to sleep, the other mother doesn't seem to have even stepped into the room. She is in the living room: -with lights off -and the door completely unguarded -also a bug is ready to block the door. Which could only mean that either Beldam is an intense gambler or knew exactly what Coraline would do. I don't think the Beldam would have this ambush guard seemingly on a door to limbo zone.... While apparently having left the door to reality off guard. Beldam wasn't supervising Coraline either so she could have come up with a plan or something before coming out of the room. Either Beldam knows Coraline too well or has foresight. The latter seems more plausible. After all the doll might have only observed Coraline for a few days at most.
Did you notice that in the opening screen the Beldam opens a case of Surgical Tools from the 1880’s. A Doctors tool kit not a seamstress’s tools. Perhaps one that belonged to a missing or dead husband.
I think they could be good fairies after all fairies are often associated with being good or maybe wybie just heard of the doll or maybe losing her sister was so difficult for her that she just wanted to forget
4:35 OKAY! IDEA! What if the Other Mother somehow found her way into the fairy world and with the trapped fairy's stolen power destroyed it and all of its inhabitants, hence why it can't hold itself together in the movie?
I watched your what is the Beldam videos and a lot of what you pointed out reminded me of a scooby doo movie I used to watch where they go to New Orleans and the two Cajun women who live on a island in the bayous (who appear as very normal people at first) are under some curse or spell where they turn into cat like monsters and have to consume the life forces of other people in order to live. And by doing so they survived for hundreds of years, consuming the lives of pirates, settlers, confederate soldiers and tourists all while practicing voodoo(including using dolls). This was the result of selling their souls to a higher deity and I wonder if the Beldam did something similar leading her to become what she is now. There’s a lot of similarities in the circumstances, but it’s just a thought.
What if the Upside Down from Stranger Things is actually the other world but stripped bare? Like it's crazy but idk I thought of it. And like the Beldam is that giant monster and the demogorgans are her creations?
Neil Gaiman said on twitter that The Ocean at the End of the Lane and Coraline are set in the same universe I think you should try reading that book to see if it solves any of the mystery's in Coraline.
A few things worth noting from this humble mythology nerd. Most of my myth knowledge revolves around the Greek, Celtic, Norse, and Japanese with some Slavic and other mythologies mixed in. Even then I don't know everything(even though I like to think my grasp on the Fae is high) so take what I say with a pinch of salt and feel free to do your own research as well. Anyway.....in Celtic lore dark fae or the Unseelie were highly feared beings and known for hating humans vehemently. You didn't have to offend one to get killed, they'd kill for you over anything. There's also very dangerous Faeries that weren't aligned to either the Unseelie(dark( or Seelie(light) side. These were creatures like the Pooka, Kelpie, Sluágh, Baóbhan Sith, Banshees, etc. All kinds of Fae creatures could kill you if you weren't careful and could even kidnap family members. The Pooka and Changling myth being notable examples. The Pooka on a good day would simply cause chaos on farms and such. Breaking fences and scaring livestock among other mischievous behavior. However bad days for this creature were dreaded badly, as the Pooka take a few pages out of the Skinwalker myth in a way. They can mimic the voices of family members to trick members of a household into coming outside and could even shapeshift as well(However, they did have a favorite form, that being an all black horse with golden eyes). Once outside the tricked person would never be seen again. Pookas were highly feared for that reason alone. Though it is said you could have a conversation with one, it just depended on whether or not you had the right setup. www.yourirish.com has the best info on the ritual I know of if you want to know about this ritual. I will say this though, it is said if the Pooka comes from the gate post to the right of the home (essentially coming from the right sitting to your right) it is a good Pooka, a more mischievous or evil Pooka will prefer the left side and shall come from such a direction. The left side of the home was known to be rocky. The Changling was another Fae that while not inherently dangerous, it was a feared creature all the same. Changelings were the children of Fae who were swapped with the child of a human. The reasons for this will vary depending on the story, sometimes it is because the Fae wants a beautiful child and her own child is ugly, so she swaps the children. Sometimes the reason isn't even specified at all. Either way it was a lesson to Mothers to make sure to watch their children closely, as you never know what may happen to your child. It could also have been a form of coping for grieving Mothers as well. In some stories the changling child will have been made to look like the child they were swapped with, only to fade and become frail with the years as they pass by. Eventually the changeling will pass away from illness while the human child will be with the changling's Fae parents and grow up among them as their surrogate child or as a slave to the Faeries. One final thing worth noting, is the legend of Tír Na Nóg. Tír Na Nóg was the realm of the Faeries and humans who went there would stop aging entirely. However, time in Tír Na Nóg went by much more slowly than in the human world. If a human living in Tír Na Nóg were to return to the human world, they'd likely disintegrate into a pile of ash or become a corpse due to their rapid aging finally catching up to them in the human world.
Hey The Fangirl I know what is the meaning of this movie's ending ( i have evidences) 1. The other mother does everything Coraline wants. But she didn't give Coralin's favorite gloves to her so at the final the no-button eyes mother gave it to Coraline. 2.The cat can do some magicaly things like dissapear in the other world and he said he isn't changes himself in the real world and other world but at the ending scene he dissapeared secretly. 3. The other mother makes Coraline's parents doll so they can go to the other world ( I guest ) and trapped there forever. 4. Coraline's mother go out to by some foods and when Coraline back to her real world, the foods are rotten, it means her mother must goes out for a very long time and she doesn't use her car to finds or helps her husband. 5. Angust the dog, has sicked but suprisingly stronger at the end. It seems every troubles that Coraline has in the real world become no more at the end, become what she wants, like the other world ------->She trapped in the other other world.
Hi! Me and a fellow fan were talking on Coraline Amino and we came up with a little theory that you might want to use (we both agreed we would tell you about it) at some point in the book or comic it's mentioned that Coraline felt like she was shoving her hand into a mouth when going into the portal and came up with the theory that The beldam is not only controlling the portal but is the portal. We don't have much info and if you wanna go into detail and look through it feel free 😊
The Fangirl I love your other Coraline theories ( all your theories actually ) , they are super creative and believable ! But I’m a sucker for a happy ending ... even if it’s not likely 😅
The bedlam is making the doll because whenever the intro to the movie starts she’s humming and whenever she’s in the kitchen before Coraline proposes the game it’s the same tune being hummed.
I've been binging your coraline videos and literally HAVE GOTTEN SO MANY RECOMMENDED VIDEOS OF CORALINE AND LITERALLY HAVE GOTTEN STUFF ABOUT IT ALL OVER MY GOOGLE
I just wanted to say that I left a comment in your Coraline part 4 theory video that I think could also really explain Wybie's whole connection in this as actually being the child of the other mother and needing the same source of energy as her, but because he is half-human, he is able to be in the real world to help lure children. It would also make sense because it wouldn't matter what his grandmother tells him because he is in on it needing the same source of energy and plotting with the other mother through the black cat that I believe is his father and consort of the other mother. I go into this more about how I think this happened in my original comment. After watching more of your videos, I've come up with more thoughts to support this idea, but I have a really long comment over in the part four video I posted just a bit earlier because that video gave me a eureka moment. You've talked about the idea of Coraline being trapped in the Pink Palace Limbo since the first time she enters the other world. If this is true and the Wybie at the end of the movie is actually him, it would make sense if he is her son that he is able to move back and forth through the dimensions. The reason he could always be around the pink palace is because that is where his mother lives. I think this could also work with the doll coming into his possession. At no point do we see the grandmother explicitly say that she hid the doll, we only know that that is what he says. For all we know, he was able to give the doll to the other mother and get it back, leaving it in his possession to leave on Coraline's porch. I think if his grandmother knew anything about it, I think she would be freaking out, because at this point she would believe that both her sister and son were already claimed by the other mother. I also think that it's possible that Wybie may have been able to convince his grandmother to let another child move in because if she really did have the doll and hid it, thinking he doesn't know where it is, when it disappears, its really her only proof. Of course, the other mother would know where the doll is because she can see through the eyes and could communicate this to Wybie. The whole thing could also be written off as the grandmother being crazy and senile. With her old age, money could be more difficult to come by and if a new tenet with a child moves in, and she has already decided that perhaps she made it all up as a defense mechanism from something worse happening to her sister and son, she would perhaps let them move in. Wybie could also help convince her of false memories of something different happening to her sister because he too needs the energy to live off of. She could also be left with the impression that Wybie may be taken next if she doesn't offer up a new child to the other mother. Wybie could easily tell her that he is seeing things or that someone seems to be trying to get him to go to the pink palace. This could instill a deep fear of losing the only family that she has left. Another thought I had about this was the fact that Wybie's puppet in the other world couldn't talk. All of the other puppets besides Wybie, the dogs, and the mice can talk. I also really subscribe to your idea of there being multiple portals throughout the town that allows the other mother to create copies of them, therefore allowing her to create other people to make the world appear more normal to Coraline and future victims. As seen in the movie, Wybie is in the real world in the beginning and if going by the theory of the other mother only being able to create people who have been inside her world, how would she be able to create Wybie? Anyways, the reason I think he can't talk is that she can't make a full copy of him because as his real self, he can come and go as he pleases, similar to the cat. He also seems to know that the well is a portal that leads to the first room of the other world when he throws in the key, so I think this intimate knowledge is something that he definitely knows. Anyway, these are just some added ramblings I've gathered to go along with my first comment. I hope you are able to check it out along with this one because I only thought of it after watching your videos and even if you don't agree, I'd love to hear your thoughts on this whole concept. I also think that the other mother tricked the mother and father into the other world very early on. I think that Wybie showing up and distracting coraline could have been a way from keeping her from going home sooner rather than later while the other mother enacted whatever plan to begin her process of either getting her parents to cross over or somehow making puppets of them in the house. Since the house has the portal connected to it, who's to say that she cannot also simply control whatever goes on in the house as well.
@The Fangirl, you're probably not reading this, but, I really like your theories! They are super interesting, and I love how you pay attention to tiny details! You bring up really interesting points! Also, if you are reading this, I have something about Wybie's sawdust hand thing. I saw it as, if you disobey the beldam, you start to fade away, and become sawdust. Also, I have watched all of your Coraline THEORIES. Parts 1- 21
A very interesting theory as always, as the ghost/fairy child was one of the more interesting aspects of the book. So it made no sense that they would simply cut this out of the film, so this could be a possible explanation. However, i do wonder if Wybourn is a fairy why the cat would appear to be so close to him, unless not even Wybourn knows he is a fairy. P.S. Thanks for the shout out, it's greatly appreciated.
You are very welcome, and it is very well earned! Maybe he does hate the cat, but he can’t play his hand in front of Coraline (so the cat delights in tormenting him because the black cat sees through Wybie’s disguise).
Agreed. Her fate was sealed as soon as she ate. That's why Othr Mother didn't bother letting her finish her plate; she was satisfied after Coraline took just one bite. That was all she needed Coraline to do to be teapped there permanently.
I love all things that you do Coraline and am now stuck on Over the Garden Wall! thank you for that, and i wonder if the woodsman sent Wirt and Greg to Pottsville because they were feared by the beast. At the party, they were bobbing for apples in the weird oil and ended up with the lamp after the fact. Just a thought and I love all that you do!
Glad I’m not the only one. It can still work if A) Wybie and his grandma are good fairies that while using Coarline never intends on letting her die Or B) starts off willing to carry out the plan but by time starts to fall for Coarline and grow more remorseful and enventully frees her and her parents and maybe even escape from the wrath of the beldam and maybe his grandmother
The princess and the scrivener did a review on this movie and basically said that wybie was a movie only adaption and was mainly used as a way for her to explain the plot without her looking like she wasnt talking to herself and also because its mostly coraline voicing her thoughts throughout the novel.
you and the theorizer must converse together to get to the bottom of this!!!!! !✨_✨! exchange and share ideas, theories, bloody hell y'all are brilliant!
I really like this theory and think all your other theorys are great too! I was wondering... what if the brick wall shown some of the time when you opened the little door had something behind it when you broke the wall? I don’t know if this is good or not, but I just wanted to share it with you. Love your videos!
Just something for the beldam controlling other fairies, in Welsh mythology (which Neil Gaiman references in other books) the king of the fae - Arawn is a tall figure with pales grey-white skin, black eyes, powers over death and souls, powers to controll (to some degree) his otherworld realm (called Annwn), power to shape-shift self and others with illusions and enchantments, and finally is strongly associated with the night. The Beldam is a tall figure with white 'skin' and large black eyes, she can entrap souls and controll her own otherworld realm, she can shape-shift herself and enchant and shape-shift other objects, and it is constantly night in the otherworld. The major difference is that Arawn is male whilst the Beldam is female, but this is a non-issue when dealing with a shape-shifter. This turned into a way bigger comment than I had expected. I love your videos, and keep up the good work.
Just on a hunch but I think the room the 'doll' is 'made'/changed is in the attic and that maybe the 'beldam's' lair is actually in a complete alternate dimension where everyone has buttons for eyes and the one person who enters the dimension the doll version of that person disappears telling the beldam that person has entered the dimension and tunnel/hallway is actually a portal that is controlled by the beldam. sorry if this made no sense
i dont know if yove noticed this or have covered it, but on the theory that the beldam created everything and everyone, when coraline went to see her other father for the first time, he was just sitting there kinda like an empty shell pushing one key on the piano. that is until coraline announced she was there and he did what the other mother would have told him to when he saw coraline
I don’t remember if I heard/saw this somewhere But this is what I think: The Lovat family are fairies but Mrs. Lovat can see vision of the future Maybe she saw Coraline and seeing her defeat the Beldam And that’s why Wybie gives the doll to Coraline Maybe she already knew her sister was gonna get taken by the Beldam and tried to tell her parents but they didn’t believe her But that’s just what I think
One of the main questions ive always had is WHY does the portal/tunnel look different? One time it looks purplish blue and another time it looks brown and dusty?? Whyyy. I know it cant be an accident
I've gone over that somewhere in these theories. It's either because The Other World plays with time (which is why we see 3 different seasons in a timeline that's about a week, at most), or because we're seeing different tunnels.
Hello i rly like your coraline videos its one of my favorite movie since child and i have a theory that the button eyes are important and that the baldam needs them to see she can change form so she can change the eyes but she needs the button eyes to see and to see through the dolls the fake people and the animals with button eyes and that means that the baldam is a doll too because she has needle hands and makes dolls so the button eyes r important i think is a mix of a doll with a spider (cause she saws like the spiders) and a wish i hope u see this and sorry if u are confused
Did you know that the Blue Boy’s costume is identical to that of Little Lord Fauntleroy. An insanely popular book written by the author of the Secret Garden. Francis Hodgson Burnett. The book was published in 1886 and depicts a golden little boy. It changed boys clothing for the next twenty years.
The beldam is the grandma. They are all fairies. That's why he was supposed to deliver the doll then later said he needed it back to throw the suspicious vibes off of grams. Plus it explains how Wybie hasn't been taken. His gram is the beldam. I think that anyway.
We really r pressuring u about the Coraline Theories! Sorry! It’s just that not many cover this Ahhhh....... ! AMAZING movie! We really do appreciate your contributions!!
I recently saw a post about how Wybie has scoliosis in the real world but not in the other world. You should look into this and potentially make a video on it.
My hypothesis is that the cat was a fairy. He was a friend to Webie until Coraline arrived, gave Coraline advice, and left at the end of the movie when he wasn't needed anymore.
Whybie also said if you go through the well, in the daytime you can see stars and in the begging when the Beldam (sorry if I spelled it wrong) finished making Coraline's doll and let it go through the window you can see all around is stars... (they might be in space but hey.. That's my theory!)
Idk if this was already mentioned before but I think the Beldam might be a reference to the poem la belle dame sans merci where a fairy seduces a soldier and takes him to her fairy grotto and feeds him mead but then he sees a dream about all the others before who she killed. Having one of the children be a fairy might be a hint that there are fairy in the world and therefore the other mother is an evil fairy.
I am sure somebody has said this before, but when Wybie and Coraline first meet, he talks about how the well is so dark “you can see stars.” At the beginning of the movie, when the metal hand (who we assume is the beldams) is making the Coraline doll, there are stars outside the room. This leads me to believe the bedlam and Wybie are indeed fairies, and the well is basically a portal to the fairy world where they are from. That is why there is a fairy ring around the well. Basically, when the bedlams hand was thrown in with the key, Coraline was just returning the hand and the key back to where we saw at the beginning of the movie. The hand and key then makes it back to the beldams lair, and this further proves how the beldam is still alive and links to the theory Coraline is stuck in the fake universe the beldam created for her.
this theory fits in with your others, the lovets are working for the belldam. I love your theories!, Im not gonna lie this movie scared me but after watching your coraline theories they are not as bad!
Well, it depends on how you look at it, because I think this theory plays well with Coraline escaping at the end (if the fairies are against the Beldam).
*YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE IS OFF*
There is a scene where Coraline and her mother are in the car. Coraline ask her mom "what do you think's in the other apartment" and her mom replies "Not a family of Jone's imposters. That's for sure"
*WHICH MEANS THERE IS ANOTHER APARTMENT. 4 APARTMENTS ALL TOGETHER. BUT IF YOU REMEMBER THE SCENE WHERE CORALINE FINDS MR. BOBINSKY'S MAIL. THERE IS ONLY THREE MAILBOXES.*
So what is up with that other apartment? And in the book she mentioned something about there being another apartment.
In both the book and the movie the other apartment is only mentioned once. It is a small but important detail.
I also noticed the nightlight in Caroline's room. I have mentioned this before. It is for making wishes. The Night-light holds your wishes until they come true. The first time the mouse enters her room the night light turns on and Spins. So I think somehow Coraline wished for a better world. And somehow through magic she got her "better world".
A Little Imagination 17, so, maybe the bedlam’s apartment was combined with coraline’s, that’s why she went after coraline. And
That’s all I got. 😂😂
I wonder why the bricked-up apartment is still there, and not remodeled away.
The fairies granted her wish in the worst way possible?
@@Lucky10279 maybe. Or pixies. The definition of fairies and pixies are different. Apparently Pixies are magic creatures too, but they don't have wings and they are very mischievous. Maybe the Beldam is a type of pixie
@@alittleimagination9023 the only pixies I know of have wings... Tink Tink
I think that Wybie is a fairy because it makes sense. The well is connected to the beldames house and that's why he threw the key down there and just pretended to be helping at the end of the film.
He's also the one who tells coraline about how the well is so deep if you fell at the bottom and looked up you'd see a sky full of stars, and he just can't know that out of the blue.
I have a question about the end.
At the end we can see Coraline "escaping" from the "other world",right?
So,Coraline thinks that she's on the real world again,right?But is/when Beldam's going to eat Coraline????I mean,Beldam is faking to be her mother,but for how long?I have a theory that Beldam is going to kill Coraline and then eat her.I don't know...
Would also explain why there’s a large garden at the pink palace with dead stuff. They took the garden life with them. When the grandmothers family was there it there would have been heaps of plants. It would have been there “fairy garden”. But now pink palace has plant life surrounding it because it followed there fairy owners.
Alexis Spark there was no well at the Beldums world
@@ilovehachiko3697 Watch The Fangirls theories, she explains what the beldam does.
all of the Beldame’s victims are around the age of 10-12
the reason Wybie’s grandmother allowed the Jones’ to move in is because Wybie was 11 years old at the time and so was Coraline, so instead of taking ANY possible risks of Wybie’s life, she basically sacrificed Coraline in place of Wybie just in case there was any possible chance that the Beldame could get him.
Was watching the movie just recently and I realized, Wybie and the other mother gave coraline magic healing dirt! Coraline was holding the poison oak stick with both hands yet the movie only broadcast her having a rash on her left hand and the other mother gives her dirt that heals it. But what about the other hand? Well when coraline introduces herself to wybie as coraline Jones he shakes her right and gets it all muddy and she proceeds to wipe it on her jacket! Perhaps were these both examples of magical fairy mud?!!!!
I noticed whenever Wybie begins to tell Coraline about the well, his grandmother’s sister, the pink palace, his grandmother calls him right away as if interrupting him from letting Coraline know too much..
Okay, saw the whole thing through and had a bizarre thought: what if Mrs. Lovat's twin wasn't really her twin--but the changeling designated to take her place? There's an obscure branch of mythology that believed that fairies would shift to human form to trade place with humans, at least for a little while. Now, there is a picture of the two together--but what if they're not twins? What if, while the two were playing, the Beldam got the *real* little girl and the changeling grew up *as* the little girl? Not only would that give more credence to Wybie being part fairy, but would also explain why Mrs. Lovat is getting desperate to get the Beldam--as a fairy, she can't go home (fairy world or land) until the human girl is released, because they can't exist in fairyland at the same time. Just a thought.
I have a question about the end.
At the end we can see Coraline "escaping" from the "other world",right?
So,Coraline thinks that she's on the real world again,right?But is/when Beldam's going to eat Coraline????I mean,Beldam is faking to be her mother,but for how long?I have a theory that Beldam is going to kill Coraline and then eat her.I don't know...
As long as Coraline doesn't question her surroundings or try to leave, she's perfectly safe, because if she dies the Beldam has to hunt for another child, and I think it's fair to say that children are hard to come by for her at this point in her story. So, she'll keep Coraline alive as long as possible so that she can keep feeding off her. But yes, I think you're right; eventually Coraline will question things or try to leave as she grows up--and if the Beldam can't scare her back into frightened obedience she probably will kill her then--but not until then, if that makes sense.
At least that's my opinion, anyway.
Yes a new coralline theory!
Wow. So many twists and turns. Coraline is literally my favorite movie of all time and seeing how this theory just changed my whole point of view, its even better! Thanks for the theories!
Thank you for watching!
YAY MORE CORALINE
Dailysparrow YAY
This actually makes sense, and I don't usually watch Coraline theories. I personally like the idea that they are trying to take out the Other Mother, however, maybe they want to take her place as capturing children for themselves. Keep making awesome videos!!
Aww! Your little daughter is so cute!!!
Thanks Lua
On the changeling thing: changeling is the name for the replaced child and/or thier replacement. I did a bit of research, and found that fear dearg (I might be missing an accent or have a slight spelling error) is the proper name of the fairy that does the exchanging. Just thought I'd add that to help with any further theorizing research, since the more specific name may get you better search results.
I found out when the Beldam threw the doll out of the window it seems like it floated.
Or could it just float on the water IN the well?
I really like this theory! I'm not sure if this has been said, but from what I remember, Wybie is the only one from the Pink Palace world that seems to control himself. The other father and the others seem more robotic and there for show, yet Wybie has more control over his actions and influence over Coraline (like when he pulls her out of the mirror, stitches his mouth shut, etc). That always seemed weird to me, but this theory makes those make sense. Also, it fits with how guilty Wybie looks, like he knows he's leading her into the other fairies trap.
Hey I made it to the end C:
You're doing an awesome work and after a loooooong first day of 8th grade (Sweden) it made me really happy to come home to this C:
I really enjoy your theories and especially the ones about Coraline since it is my favorite film,, sadly I havn't found anywhere to buy it since the local movie renting store in Växjö only has ONE sample (unbelievable since it's such a great movie) and they can't sell the movies unless they have a couple of them ):
Anyway, have a Greaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat day :3
Your comment has made my day! Thank you! And, I'm surprised that there isn't a way to buy movies more easily in Sweden. Here in the US they're sold in every store, everywhere online, and even at kiosks like Red Box. I hope you have luck finding it in the future, or that it comes to Netflix over there!

Yes I’ve always wanted it to be a situation where the cat is trying to protect coralline
Not Coraline related but ive got a Peter pan theory that I haven't heard a UA-camr lean on yet, here it is
PETER PAN-----> Pan is a greek god that created the pan-flute (that peter pan plays) Pan had 12 children that were 1/2 goat (lost boys dress up as animals - there's only 6 but its disney) He was accompanied my nymphs (mermaids aka water nymphs) Pan's birthplace is Arcadia witch is referred to as imaginary idyllic paradise and immortalized (neverland, you never grow up) There was a small revolutionary war (captain hook represents Panagiotis Kephalas a commander in the war) that near caused ghost towns of villages (indian tribes)
Nice
An amazing theory. I love that you are fluid enough to not dig in your heals once you have made a theory and that you will play around with other thoughts and possibilities.
I have watched all of your Coraline theory videos and this one is one of the best ones.💖💖💖 Love your channel
Great theory! Also I thought of a plot hole for your other coraline theories maybe you could make a video to explain it: so the plot hole that if you remember the scene in the other world right before coraline goes back in the house for the beldam to give her the button eyes we see the other wybie being sad and the beldam smiles at him essentially telling him to pretend to be happy. So if you are saying that the residents of the other world are puppets for the beldam why would other wybie be sad. We can't even explain it as part of the act since coraline wasn't around at that moment so there would be no reason to act. This is it. Again if you could make a theory to fix this hole it would be pretty cool. :)
Hmm, maybe I didn't clarify it enough, but in my own head, I'm saying puppet and thinking more like when the Beldam isn't present. Like, she can control herself or someone else, but not both at the same time. So she has to get irritated with the Other Father for saying too much because she's standing there and can't "poses" him, as it were. Same with Other Wybie looking sad, Coraline's standing behind them so she can't just take him over (which she probably had been doing at the show, hence no sadness or remorse displayed then. Hope that makes some sense! lol
The Fangirl I get what you are trying to say even if I don't get it exactly. Idk whatever it's fine.
SprotossP, I think what she means is that the Beldam have limitations.
I think it is like you are playing a video game where your player needs something, but you yourself may also need something.
I hope this helps.☺
I have a question about the end.
At the end we can see Coraline "escaping" from the "other world",right?
So,Coraline thinks that she's on the real world again,right?But is/when Beldam's going to eat Coraline????I mean,Beldam is faking to be her mother,but for how long?I have a theory that Beldam is going to kill Coraline and then eat her.I don't know...
SprotossP
It could be part of her elaborate plan, making wybie pretend to be sad and , the fact that she knew that there was only one key and made per puppete explicitly mention that multiple times is a bit suspicious and that she opened the door at the end as if she didn't know coraline was going to make a run for it. If she knew enough to know coraline was moving in she know she would also fail to trap her the traditional way she did 3 times before she had to make the illusion stronger because there is one big issue with coraline ....she isn't actually unhappy with her family no she doesn't like how things are but it's very clear they were not that way in Michigan and they just moved there , she was feeling the effects of the situation and she knew this and as such she knew her plan had to be much stronger
This is a cool concept. When you mentioned the deleted scene with the spider I actually have a theory on that scene. Remember when you said you think Mrs. Jones got possessed by the Beldam early on? I think the spider was a representation of the Beldam and when Mrs. Jones drank the coffee with the spider in it she got possessed. It’s not obvious but it’s just a theory. Cause it makes sense to me
I like the idea of having different theories either exist together or being separate from your other theories, if that makes sense. I loved this video and I'd be happy to see more Cornelius theories-or theories for sources that you've already done- which don't necessarily go along with what you've previously suggested.
lol, my first 10 Coraline videos were like random talking out loud with ideas going in every direction. Hopefully, this is a bit more focused. >.

This video was really Fun and entertaining. And starting out with a completely empty table was very smart. 'Cause it really helps realizing new things/theories. And you are the reason I actually started liking Coraline. When I first watched it I thought it was too odd and scary for me. But then I watched a couple of your Coraline videos and started realizong how good the movie really is. So Thank you Fangirl❤
Proofs I found of Beldam's foresight:
When Coraline forcibly goes to sleep, the other mother doesn't seem to have even stepped into the room. She is in the living room:
-with lights off
-and the door completely unguarded
-also a bug is ready to block the door.
Which could only mean that either Beldam is an intense gambler or knew exactly what Coraline would do.
I don't think the Beldam would have this ambush guard seemingly on a door to limbo zone.... While apparently having left the door to reality off guard.
Beldam wasn't supervising Coraline either so she could have come up with a plan or something before coming out of the room.
Either Beldam knows Coraline too well or has foresight. The latter seems more plausible. After all the doll might have only observed Coraline for a few days at most.
Did you notice that in the opening screen the Beldam opens a case of Surgical Tools from the 1880’s. A Doctors tool kit not a seamstress’s tools. Perhaps one that belonged to a missing or dead husband.
I have this idea that the other wybie was a "re-stiching" of the lost twin and that's why he helped her escape.
When you look info it in coraline theres SO much faerie lore i love it
I think the Beldam kidnapped Coraline and replaced her in the real world with a changeling so when she disappeared her parents don’t look for her
Yaassss, new Coraline theory! It’s my favorite animated movie, and I just LOVE digging deep into the story. I’m obsessed with your videos!
I think they could be good fairies after all fairies are often associated with being good or maybe wybie just heard of the doll or maybe losing her sister was so difficult for her that she just wanted to forget
4:35 OKAY! IDEA! What if the Other Mother somehow found her way into the fairy world and with the trapped fairy's stolen power destroyed it and all of its inhabitants, hence why it can't hold itself together in the movie?
Oh my gosh I love your theories even though I've seen them all, i sometimes binge you're Coraline Theories, they are SO good.
I watched your what is the Beldam videos and a lot of what you pointed out reminded me of a scooby doo movie I used to watch where they go to New Orleans and the two Cajun women who live on a island in the bayous (who appear as very normal people at first) are under some curse or spell where they turn into cat like monsters and have to consume the life forces of other people in order to live. And by doing so they survived for hundreds of years, consuming the lives of pirates, settlers, confederate soldiers and tourists all while practicing voodoo(including using dolls). This was the result of selling their souls to a higher deity and I wonder if the Beldam did something similar leading her to become what she is now. There’s a lot of similarities in the circumstances, but it’s just a thought.
What if the Upside Down from Stranger Things is actually the other world but stripped bare? Like it's crazy but idk I thought of it. And like the Beldam is that giant monster and the demogorgans are her creations?
Neil Gaiman said on twitter that The Ocean at the End of the Lane and Coraline are set in the same universe I think you should try reading that book to see
if it solves any of the mystery's in Coraline.
A few things worth noting from this humble mythology nerd.
Most of my myth knowledge revolves around the Greek, Celtic, Norse, and Japanese with some Slavic and other mythologies mixed in. Even then I don't know everything(even though I like to think my grasp on the Fae is high) so take what I say with a pinch of salt and feel free to do your own research as well.
Anyway.....in Celtic lore dark fae or the Unseelie were highly feared beings and known for hating humans vehemently. You didn't have to offend one to get killed, they'd kill for you over anything. There's also very dangerous Faeries that weren't aligned to either the Unseelie(dark( or Seelie(light) side. These were creatures like the Pooka, Kelpie, Sluágh, Baóbhan Sith, Banshees, etc. All kinds of Fae creatures could kill you if you weren't careful and could even kidnap family members.
The Pooka and Changling myth being notable examples. The Pooka on a good day would simply cause chaos on farms and such. Breaking fences and scaring livestock among other mischievous behavior. However bad days for this creature were dreaded badly, as the Pooka take a few pages out of the Skinwalker myth in a way. They can mimic the voices of family members to trick members of a household into coming outside and could even shapeshift as well(However, they did have a favorite form, that being an all black horse with golden eyes). Once outside the tricked person would never be seen again. Pookas were highly feared for that reason alone. Though it is said you could have a conversation with one, it just depended on whether or not you had the right setup. www.yourirish.com has the best info on the ritual I know of if you want to know about this ritual. I will say this though, it is said if the Pooka comes from the gate post to the right of the home (essentially coming from the right sitting to your right) it is a good Pooka, a more mischievous or evil Pooka will prefer the left side and shall come from such a direction. The left side of the home was known to be rocky.
The Changling was another Fae that while not inherently dangerous, it was a feared creature all the same. Changelings were the children of Fae who were swapped with the child of a human. The reasons for this will vary depending on the story, sometimes it is because the Fae wants a beautiful child and her own child is ugly, so she swaps the children. Sometimes the reason isn't even specified at all. Either way it was a lesson to Mothers to make sure to watch their children closely, as you never know what may happen to your child. It could also have been a form of coping for grieving Mothers as well. In some stories the changling child will have been made to look like the child they were swapped with, only to fade and become frail with the years as they pass by. Eventually the changeling will pass away from illness while the human child will be with the changling's Fae parents and grow up among them as their surrogate child or as a slave to the Faeries.
One final thing worth noting, is the legend of Tír Na Nóg. Tír Na Nóg was the realm of the Faeries and humans who went there would stop aging entirely. However, time in Tír Na Nóg went by much more slowly than in the human world. If a human living in Tír Na Nóg were to return to the human world, they'd likely disintegrate into a pile of ash or become a corpse due to their rapid aging finally catching up to them in the human world.
Hey The Fangirl
I know what is the meaning of this movie's ending ( i have evidences)
1. The other mother does everything Coraline wants. But she didn't give Coralin's favorite gloves to her so at the final the no-button eyes mother gave it to Coraline.
2.The cat can do some magicaly things like dissapear in the other world and he said he isn't changes himself in the real world and other world but at the ending scene he dissapeared secretly.
3. The other mother makes Coraline's parents doll so they can go to the other world ( I guest ) and trapped there forever.
4. Coraline's mother go out to by some foods and when Coraline back to her real world, the foods are rotten, it means her mother must goes out for a very long time and she doesn't use her car to finds or helps her husband.
5. Angust the dog, has sicked but suprisingly stronger at the end. It seems every troubles that Coraline has in the real world become no more at the end, become what she wants, like the other world
------->She trapped in the other other world.
I just want more and more coraline theories 😂 like ive seen all of them and i need MORE
lol, but I need alternatives! By the 40th video I'm pretty sure I'll be out of content! :D
wow!! That's so cool! and it could explain a lot of things about OtherWybie too!!!
Hi! Me and a fellow fan were talking on Coraline Amino and we came up with a little theory that you might want to use (we both agreed we would tell you about it) at some point in the book or comic it's mentioned that Coraline felt like she was shoving her hand into a mouth when going into the portal and came up with the theory that The beldam is not only controlling the portal but is the portal. We don't have much info and if you wanna go into detail and look through it feel free 😊
Oh my god ! This has to be my favourite Coraline theory !
Aww, why thank you! I'm glad it works for you! :)
The Fangirl I love your other Coraline theories ( all your theories actually ) , they are super creative and believable ! But I’m a sucker for a happy ending ... even if it’s not likely 😅
Yay new Coraline theory! I absolutely love these!!!!!
I love all your Coraline theories but this is definitely my favorite 💙😁
The bedlam is making the doll because whenever the intro to the movie starts she’s humming and whenever she’s in the kitchen before Coraline proposes the game it’s the same tune being hummed.
School is shut down for a week (two if you count my spring break) so I'm gonna bench watch all your Coraline theories uwu
Yay! Bright side of the apocalypse! Lol
I've been binging your coraline videos and literally HAVE GOTTEN SO MANY RECOMMENDED VIDEOS OF CORALINE AND LITERALLY HAVE GOTTEN STUFF ABOUT IT ALL OVER MY GOOGLE
I just wanted to say that I left a comment in your Coraline part 4 theory video that I think could also really explain Wybie's whole connection in this as actually being the child of the other mother and needing the same source of energy as her, but because he is half-human, he is able to be in the real world to help lure children. It would also make sense because it wouldn't matter what his grandmother tells him because he is in on it needing the same source of energy and plotting with the other mother through the black cat that I believe is his father and consort of the other mother. I go into this more about how I think this happened in my original comment.
After watching more of your videos, I've come up with more thoughts to support this idea, but I have a really long comment over in the part four video I posted just a bit earlier because that video gave me a eureka moment. You've talked about the idea of Coraline being trapped in the Pink Palace Limbo since the first time she enters the other world. If this is true and the Wybie at the end of the movie is actually him, it would make sense if he is her son that he is able to move back and forth through the dimensions. The reason he could always be around the pink palace is because that is where his mother lives.
I think this could also work with the doll coming into his possession. At no point do we see the grandmother explicitly say that she hid the doll, we only know that that is what he says. For all we know, he was able to give the doll to the other mother and get it back, leaving it in his possession to leave on Coraline's porch.
I think if his grandmother knew anything about it, I think she would be freaking out, because at this point she would believe that both her sister and son were already claimed by the other mother. I also think that it's possible that Wybie may have been able to convince his grandmother to let another child move in because if she really did have the doll and hid it, thinking he doesn't know where it is, when it disappears, its really her only proof. Of course, the other mother would know where the doll is because she can see through the eyes and could communicate this to Wybie. The whole thing could also be written off as the grandmother being crazy and senile. With her old age, money could be more difficult to come by and if a new tenet with a child moves in, and she has already decided that perhaps she made it all up as a defense mechanism from something worse happening to her sister and son, she would perhaps let them move in. Wybie could also help convince her of false memories of something different happening to her sister because he too needs the energy to live off of.
She could also be left with the impression that Wybie may be taken next if she doesn't offer up a new child to the other mother. Wybie could easily tell her that he is seeing things or that someone seems to be trying to get him to go to the pink palace. This could instill a deep fear of losing the only family that she has left.
Another thought I had about this was the fact that Wybie's puppet in the other world couldn't talk. All of the other puppets besides Wybie, the dogs, and the mice can talk. I also really subscribe to your idea of there being multiple portals throughout the town that allows the other mother to create copies of them, therefore allowing her to create other people to make the world appear more normal to Coraline and future victims. As seen in the movie, Wybie is in the real world in the beginning and if going by the theory of the other mother only being able to create people who have been inside her world, how would she be able to create Wybie? Anyways, the reason I think he can't talk is that she can't make a full copy of him because as his real self, he can come and go as he pleases, similar to the cat. He also seems to know that the well is a portal that leads to the first room of the other world when he throws in the key, so I think this intimate knowledge is something that he definitely knows.
Anyway, these are just some added ramblings I've gathered to go along with my first comment. I hope you are able to check it out along with this one because I only thought of it after watching your videos and even if you don't agree, I'd love to hear your thoughts on this whole concept.
I also think that the other mother tricked the mother and father into the other world very early on. I think that Wybie showing up and distracting coraline could have been a way from keeping her from going home sooner rather than later while the other mother enacted whatever plan to begin her process of either getting her parents to cross over or somehow making puppets of them in the house. Since the house has the portal connected to it, who's to say that she cannot also simply control whatever goes on in the house as well.
Game Therory is to fnaf as The Fangirl is to Coraline
BEST ANALOGY EVER!!!!😂👌
@The Fangirl, you're probably not reading this, but, I really like your theories! They are super interesting, and I love how you pay attention to tiny details! You bring up really interesting points! Also, if you are reading this, I have something about Wybie's sawdust hand thing. I saw it as, if you disobey the beldam, you start to fade away, and become sawdust. Also, I have watched all of your Coraline THEORIES. Parts 1- 21
I see you! Thank you so much for watching! I can't believe you watched them all - wow! Love ya 💙💚💛🧡🧡💜❤
Thank you!
A very interesting theory as always, as the ghost/fairy child was one of the more interesting aspects of the book. So it made no sense that they would simply cut this out of the film, so this could be a possible explanation. However, i do wonder if Wybourn is a fairy why the cat would appear to be so close to him, unless not even Wybourn knows he is a fairy.
P.S. Thanks for the shout out, it's greatly appreciated.
You are very welcome, and it is very well earned! Maybe he does hate the cat, but he can’t play his hand in front of Coraline (so the cat delights in tormenting him because the black cat sees through Wybie’s disguise).
Yay I'm always happy when there is a new Coraline theory I love that film and have lost count how many times it has been watched lol
I love you and your videos Coraline is one of my favorite movies of all time
I wondered if Coraline couldn't ever leave or escape the other mother because she ate the fairy food.
Agreed. Her fate was sealed as soon as she ate. That's why Othr Mother didn't bother letting her finish her plate; she was satisfied after Coraline took just one bite. That was all she needed Coraline to do to be teapped there permanently.
I love all things that you do Coraline and am now stuck on Over the Garden Wall! thank you for that, and i wonder if the woodsman sent Wirt and Greg to Pottsville because they were feared by the beast. At the party, they were bobbing for apples in the weird oil and ended up with the lamp after the fact. Just a thought and I love all that you do!
This is a really cool idea, great job
Wow! I never thought about it! Amazing video! ❤️
This makes so much more sense honestly
YESSS ANOTHER THEORY!! I LOVE YOUR CORALINE VIDS!!!
Konichiwa I love your theories especially your coraline and Dont hug me im scared, you are amazing!
This has been bothering me for some time now how Coraline mother know which key to use for the little door?? Has she been there before??
I love Wybie so much!!! He seems so sweet.
I love your theories!! Especially those about Coraline^^ Keep up great work
B-but ... I shipped Wybie and Coraline✋🏼😔
Glad I’m not the only one. It can still work if
A) Wybie and his grandma are good fairies that while using Coarline never intends on letting her die
Or
B) starts off willing to carry out the plan but by time starts to fall for Coarline and grow more remorseful and enventully frees her and her parents and maybe even escape from the wrath of the beldam and maybe his grandmother
Keep up the great work! Love your content ❤️
The princess and the scrivener did a review on this movie and basically said that wybie was a movie only adaption and was mainly used as a way for her to explain the plot without her looking like she wasnt talking to herself and also because its mostly coraline voicing her thoughts throughout the novel.
you and the theorizer must converse together to get to the bottom of this!!!!! !✨_✨! exchange and share ideas, theories, bloody hell y'all are brilliant!
I love your theories about Coraline!
I really like this theory and think all your other theorys are great too! I was wondering... what if the brick wall shown some of the time when you opened the little door had something behind it when you broke the wall? I don’t know if this is good or not, but I just wanted to share it with you. Love your videos!
Just something for the beldam controlling other fairies, in Welsh mythology (which Neil Gaiman references in other books) the king of the fae - Arawn is a tall figure with pales grey-white skin, black eyes, powers over death and souls, powers to controll (to some degree) his otherworld realm (called Annwn), power to shape-shift self and others with illusions and enchantments, and finally is strongly associated with the night. The Beldam is a tall figure with white 'skin' and large black eyes, she can entrap souls and controll her own otherworld realm, she can shape-shift herself and enchant and shape-shift other objects, and it is constantly night in the otherworld. The major difference is that Arawn is male whilst the Beldam is female, but this is a non-issue when dealing with a shape-shifter. This turned into a way bigger comment than I had expected. I love your videos, and keep up the good work.
Love your coraline 's videos
Yay!!! I love your videos on Coraline!!! And every one of your other videos!💖💖
Yay new coraline video
Just on a hunch but I think the room the 'doll' is 'made'/changed is in the attic and that maybe the 'beldam's' lair is actually in a complete alternate dimension where everyone has buttons for eyes and the one person who enters the dimension the doll version of that person disappears telling the beldam that person has entered the dimension and tunnel/hallway is actually a portal that is controlled by the beldam. sorry if this made no sense
This does make sense, faries are sapposed to be malicious and/or tricksters. Thats why pegans used to put out cakes and other treats on samhain.
i dont know if yove noticed this or have covered it, but on the theory that the beldam created everything and everyone, when coraline went to see her other father for the first time, he was just sitting there kinda like an empty shell pushing one key on the piano. that is until coraline announced she was there and he did what the other mother would have told him to when he saw coraline
I don’t remember if I heard/saw this somewhere
But this is what I think:
The Lovat family are fairies but Mrs. Lovat can see vision of the future
Maybe she saw Coraline and seeing her defeat the Beldam
And that’s why Wybie gives the doll to Coraline
Maybe she already knew her sister was gonna get taken by the Beldam and tried to tell her parents but they didn’t believe her
But that’s just what I think
One of the main questions ive always had is WHY does the portal/tunnel look different? One time it looks purplish blue and another time it looks brown and dusty?? Whyyy. I know it cant be an accident
I've gone over that somewhere in these theories. It's either because The Other World plays with time (which is why we see 3 different seasons in a timeline that's about a week, at most), or because we're seeing different tunnels.
2:08 surprisingly, yes!
Hello i rly like your coraline videos its one of my favorite movie since child and i have a theory that the button eyes are important and that the baldam needs them to see she can change form so she can change the eyes but she needs the button eyes to see and to see through the dolls the fake people and the animals with button eyes and that means that the baldam is a doll too because she has needle hands and makes dolls so the button eyes r important i think is a mix of a doll with a spider (cause she saws like the spiders) and a wish i hope u see this and sorry if u are confused
Yay! I love coraline videos!
Did you know that the Blue Boy’s costume is identical to that of Little Lord Fauntleroy. An insanely popular book written by the author of the Secret Garden. Francis Hodgson Burnett. The book was published in 1886 and depicts a golden little boy. It changed boys clothing for the next twenty years.
The beldam is the grandma. They are all fairies. That's why he was supposed to deliver the doll then later said he needed it back to throw the suspicious vibes off of grams. Plus it explains how Wybie hasn't been taken. His gram is the beldam. I think that anyway.
We really r pressuring u about the Coraline Theories! Sorry! It’s just that not many cover this Ahhhh....... ! AMAZING movie!
We really do appreciate your contributions!!
Do you have a theory about how the other mother created the other Wybie if he never went in the pink palace? If you do can you make a video about it.
Maybe they sent coraline as a "chosen one" to free the grandma's sister and the other children who were trapped, even as a sacrifice.
FINALLY MORE CORALINE
*GASP*
I just went through like about 25 coralline theory videos I can’t believe I’m finally here
I have an idea what if Coraline is in a coma ?
I recently saw a post about how Wybie has scoliosis in the real world but not in the other world. You should look into this and potentially make a video on it.
My hypothesis is that the cat was a fairy. He was a friend to Webie until Coraline arrived, gave Coraline advice, and left at the end of the movie when he wasn't needed anymore.
It’s a theory that cats can open portals… they’re literally walking in between two worlds
Or, yknow, Wybie's just a kid. Which is why he does things he's not supposed to. Okhams razor man.
Oh my goshhhhhhhhhh your daughter is sooo adorable!!!!
Whybie also said if you go through the well, in the daytime you can see stars and in the begging when the Beldam (sorry if I spelled it wrong) finished making Coraline's doll and let it go through the window you can see all around is stars... (they might be in space but hey.. That's my theory!)
Did you know that the sewing machine next to the window appears to be an early Singer first sold to the public in 1858.
Idk if this was already mentioned before but I think the Beldam might be a reference to the poem la belle dame sans merci where a fairy seduces a soldier and takes him to her fairy grotto and feeds him mead but then he sees a dream about all the others before who she killed. Having one of the children be a fairy might be a hint that there are fairy in the world and therefore the other mother is an evil fairy.
I am sure somebody has said this before, but when Wybie and Coraline first meet, he talks about how the well is so dark “you can see stars.” At the beginning of the movie, when the metal hand (who we assume is the beldams) is making the Coraline doll, there are stars outside the room. This leads me to believe the bedlam and Wybie are indeed fairies, and the well is basically a portal to the fairy world where they are from. That is why there is a fairy ring around the well. Basically, when the bedlams hand was thrown in with the key, Coraline was just returning the hand and the key back to where we saw at the beginning of the movie. The hand and key then makes it back to the beldams lair, and this further proves how the beldam is still alive and links to the theory Coraline is stuck in the fake universe the beldam created for her.
OMG I didn't know you were still do coraline theories😁😄😀😊
I don’t know if I’ll make a ton more but a few are still trickling out.
this theory fits in with your others, the lovets are working for the belldam. I love your theories!, Im not gonna lie this movie scared me but after watching your coraline theories they are not as bad!
Well, it depends on how you look at it, because I think this theory plays well with Coraline escaping at the end (if the fairies are against the Beldam).
