Themes:
- courage and bravery
- Looks can be deceiving
The theme of looks can be deceiving is shown through the gradual change of the other the other mother from a honey sweet women to a vinegar sour metal spider.At the start of the film the other mother appears short curvy and wearing the same clothes as coralines real mother.This makes the audience feel safe ,happy and relaxed towards the other mother.The director did this to show us that coraline feels at home with the other mother in the other world.However the other mother changes slowly throughout the film until she finally becomes a skeletal,metal spider who wants to trap coraline in her other world.When we first see the other mother she is in a warm orange light which makes her seem evil,grotesque and horrifying. Selick shows this changes to help the audience understand that the other mother was not who she really appeared to be and this shows the theme,'looks can be deceiving'.
