The angle also helps you see through a subjective viewpoint in the majority of the scenes, even though it is not truly the camera angle but how the slides are drawn to show certain angles.

When the other world is dissolving the technique of fading the edges into white is pure genius. The songs used make the world's first the regular world and then the other world seem like a place of dreary and boring plainness and then a world of pure imagination yet also terror. When the sound and lighting are as controlled as in Coraline the Director can really impress upon the viewer a believable world that you can see yourself involved. The motif of the movie is seen often as the theme is drawing on what is real and what is too good to be true. However, the creative imagination of Coraline takes a spin and makes a very unbelievable situation seem plausible. The theme of wanting more than what you already have and not seeing how good you have it is common among films today. The movie end with Coraline now happy with her real world and realizing she had everything she needed there all along. As well as her parents who were trapped to lure Coraline back to the other world. With the help of the black cat, Coraline is able to escape the other mother and return home saving other children's souls who were less fortunate than she was. The other mother quickly turns villainess, as she is unable to get Coraline to do what she wants. Soon she discovers another world, which is much better in every way tailored specifically to Coraline based on information gathered by a spying Coraline doll carried by Coraline unknowingly. Corallines' new life is shown to be less than wonderful as she meets her other tenants and is unable to realize her dream of gardening. We then meet her mother Mel Jones, voice actor Teri Hatcher, and her father Charlie Jones, voice actor John Hodgman.

SPOILER ALERT The movie starts out introducing Coraline, voice actor Dakota Fanning, who is new to the Pink palace and is soon introduced to the black cat, voice actor Keith David, and Wybie Lovat, voice actor Robert Bailey Jr., who both are stalking Coraline. The Movie Coraline is an animated film well worth watching more than once.
