Line 24:
** Apparently Gaiman himself requested this trope. He saw that the original script was almost exactly like the book and told them to make some changes. After all, if someone wanted something ''exactly'' like the book, they had the book.
*** Also, since exposition doesn't work quite the same way in movies as in books, the addition of Wybie was sort of necessary, as Gaiman himself has said.
* [[Adaptational Jerkass]]: In [[Coraline (novel)|the book]], the titular character is very matter-of-fact and polite to her neighbors. Movie!Coraline is a bit more abrasive, making fun of Wyborn after he scares her a few times and mimicking Mr. Bobinsky's way of speaking.
* [[Adorkable]]: Wybie.
* [[Adult Fear]]: The chilling, very real fear of many working parents is that harm could come to their child because they're too busy to pay attention to them. Coraline's parents aren't purposefully neglecting her, but it is their lack of attentiveness that leads to their daughter getting into some serious trouble...
Line 81 ⟶ 82:
* [[Design Student's Orgasm]]: Especially in the scenes where {{spoiler|the other world starts to disappear.}}
* [[Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette]]: Coraline's Other Mother.
* [[Exact Words]]: Unlike the Other Mother, ((spoiler: The Other Father never lies to Coraline, but he does leave out certain details to help Coraline save herself from his "wife" without being turned into pumpkin pie.}}
* [[Eyeless Face]]: {{spoiler|The Other Mother at the end.}}
* [[Eye Scream]]: "Black is traditional... But if you'd prefer pink... or vermilion... or chartreuse... Though you might make me jealous!" The fact that there's a ''needle'' next to the buttons makes it that much worse...
Line 117 ⟶ 119:
*** Even better, {{spoiler|Hamlet was ''mocking'' humans during that speech.}}
** A possible one, depending on how you take it, is the Other Mother telling Coraline {{spoiler|"It's all made up"}} on her first visit. Yeah, {{spoiler|the Other World certainly seems to be.}}
** The double looped O on Coraline's cake indicates that the writer is a liar. {{spoiler|Apparently, it was the Other Mother who wrote that, not the Other Father.}}
* [[Funny Foreigner]]: The rechristened-for-the-movie Mr. Bobinsky.
* [[Gag Boobs]]: Ms. Forcible. [[Fan Disservice|Emphasis on "gag"]].
Line 146 ⟶ 149:
** The Other Mother as well {{spoiler|at least until her transformation.}}
* [[Hypocritical Humour]]: "I'm way too old for dolls". Cue her playing with the doll and naming it "Little Me".
* [[I
{{quote|''"Taaaaaake iiiiit..."''}}
* [[I Do Not Drink... Wine]]: The Other Mother is a fantastic chef, but while the Other Father and Coraline pile their plates with her food, we never see a speck on the Other Mother's plate. We find out her diet later...
