This is an important detail, but more on that later. So did Coraline make it out of the Other World? The answer is no. In fact, she never left at all.
Coraline overcomes great odds, defeats the evil other mother, saves her parents, and rescues the trapped souls of three children.
Coraline climbs to freedom. As she passes through the door, the Beldam grabs her. The ghost children reach out and help her pull the door closed (repaying her kindness) but one of the Beldam's hands is severed. Coraline rushes back to her apartment as the portal starts to close and the Beldam wails.
In Season 2 she was briefly allowed out of prison as part of a deal with the DA's office to recover the bodies of the victims of her crimes. In Season 5 her lawyer helped her to escape prison en route to court to stand trial for Caleb Wright's crimes. She was portrayed by the late Annie Wersching.
The Other Mother cannot resist gloating by opening the door to show Coraline that her parents are not there. When the Other Mother opens the door Coraline throws the cat at the Other Mother, grabs the snow globe, and escapes to the real world with the key, and the cat quickly follows.
Leaving room for a strong case surrounding Coraline's childhood as a factor in her developing mental illness. As her hallucination goes on, her schizophrenia sets in as her perception and paranoia take a turn for the worse.
Mel later locked the door again and hid the key after finding rat feces near it. After Coraline escaped from the other world, she and her husband were kidnapped by the The Beldam (Other Mother) and were trapped in the other world.
Coraline realizes the Beldam has kidnapped her parents, forcing her to return to the Other World. Accompanied by the cat, Coraline proposes a game: if she can find her parents and the essences of the ghosts' souls, they will all go free; if not, she will finally accept the Beldam's offer.
Movie Info
While exploring her new home, a girl named Coraline (Dakota Fanning) discovers a secret door, behind which lies an alternate world that closely mirrors her own but, in many ways, is better.
Unfortunately, all three of these children passed away a long time ago. But Coraline has the memory of these would-be friends, and she thinks of them fondly in the last scenes of the book. The memories are invaluable; as the children themselves say, "[w]e keep our memories longer than our names" (7.12).
The answer is no. In fact, she never left at all. In the book, when Coraline meets the ghost children, they tell her that once they saw the beldam, they never saw their true mothers again.
Will there be a 'Coraline 2'? Unfortunately, despite rumors swirling on the internet of a sequel being in the works, Gaiman himself has categorically denied any hopes of a follow-up.
According to Wybie Lovat, the cat is a feral animal, but Coraline and Wybie's acts of caring for the cat disputes the claim.
Lovat, otherwise known as Wybie's grandmother, is the owner of the the Pink Palace Apartments and the protective grandmother of Wyborn Lovat who only appears at the end of the film.
Travis Knight Has Ruled Out Coraline 2
"I take a firm stand against sequels. My industry brethren are a little shocked at how firmly I'm committed to not doing sequels... There are these serials, these continuing stories that are a regurgitation of the same things we've seen over and over again.
Coraline is a dark fantasy story following a little girl by the same name through a dangerous adventure in another world.
Throughout the film, Coraline uses the symbolism of body parts as a physical representation of emotional manipulation, revealing the unseen trauma caused by emotional abuse. Hands, the most repeated symbol throughout the film, are used as the Other Mother's physical manipulators.
An adventurous 11-year-old girl finds another world that is a strangely idealized version of her frustrating home, but it has sinister secrets.
The doll is a doll created by The Beldam to spy on her victims. Its appearance is altered in the image of her next victim.
Coraline has been challenged for age – appropriateness, due to scary scenes that some have deemed too frightening for its young middle grade reader audience.
After the Other Mother had finished with them, they were imprisoned behind the mirror, unable to pass on without their eyes (in the film) or hearts (in the book). In the end, they are freed when Coraline finds their eyes/hearts in the "three wonders" of the Other World.
Coraline's behavior is consistent with a psychotic-dissociative cluster as evidenced by her experiencing an alternate universe as well as incorporating fixed beliefs. As these are critical parts of the plot, it is best to formulate Coraline's behavior along a psychotic-dissociative spectrum.
Mel mentions something about a car accident, which is why she is wearing a neck brace. Coraline immediately screams that the accident wasn't her fault. The audience can come to the conclusion that the accident was most likely Coraline's fault, though, due to her abrupt defensiveness.
Plot Appearance
