Themes:
- courage and bravery
- looks can be deceiving


(S)The theme of looks can be deceiving is shown through the gradual chage of the other mother from a honey sweet woman to a vinegar sour metal spider.(E) At the start of the film the other mother appears short, curvy and wearing the same clothes as the same as Coraline's real mother.(X) This makes the audience feel safe, happy and relaxed towards the other mother. (X) The director did this to show that us that Coraline feels at home with the other mother in the other world. However the other mother changes slowly through out the film until she finally becomes a metal skeleton, metal spider who wants to trap Coraline in the other worlds.(X) When we first see the other mother she is in a warm orange light that makes her feel safe, but by the end she is surrounded by dark and green light which makes her seem evil, grotesque and horrifying. (X) Selick shows these 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.
