Whimsical scene, well-established story

Taking advantage of the Qingming trip, I watched this recommended animated movie with my friends.
2 points for whimsical scenes and 1 point for gothic style.

At first, the little girl was dissatisfied with the cold treatment of her parents because of their busy work. She was tempted by the warm care of her new mother and father, and lingered in a dream land. However, the real Dreamland is a dangerous trap, a trap set by the ghost mother to steal her vitality and soul.
Finally, the strong Caroline defeated the ghost mother with the help of the black cat and her friends, returned to the real world, and lived happily with her parents.

The old-fashioned stories and ideas have a suspenseful feeling in the Gothic style. But it cannot escape the essence of this reversal.
You can watch it when you are bored, overall 3 stars.

Coraline quotes

  • Other Father: [robotic] All will be swell, soon as Mother's refreshed. Her strength is our strength...

    [one of the robotic hands closes his mouth forcefully]

    Other Father: Mustn't... talk when Mother's not here.

    Coraline Jones: If you won't even talk to me, I'm gonna find the other Wybie. He'll help me.

    Other Father: No point.

    [face distorts]

    Other Father: He pulled a loooong face... and Mother didn't like it.

  • Coraline Jones: [on the "Other" Mother] Why does she want me?

    Cat: She wants something to love, I think. Something that isn't her. Or, maybe she'd just love something to eat.

    Coraline Jones: Eat? That's ridiculous, mothers don't eat... daughters.

    Cat: I don't know. How do you taste?

    [chuckles]
