My son was very upset after watching this movie. He is 7 years old and has not stop crying at all times of the day. He is afraid he’s going to have nightmare’s from the other mother. It’s been six days since viewing Coraline. He sleeps at nights after being distracted with a bedtime story. The problem is I do not know what to do about the crying during the day. How can I help him thru this phase. He has never been scared by a movie before. Any good advice out there?

I very nearly put in a bit about that scene, but was rather afraid I might ramble on about it too much.

You're quite right, that was a somewhat odd amount of skin.

Thanks for the comment.

Maha, you know what I hate? Movies where the family gives the money-bringer (usually dad) a rough time because he's always working. I hate Ugly Betty's family because they nag at her to do something like set up a garage sale or something when she is trying to keep her job. It irritates me that so many movies end with someone not answering or throwing away their cell phone when it rings so that they can spend time with their family, because it's completely unrealistic. Would that be nice? Yes. But people are trying to do what they can to keep themselves fed. I hate those types of movies because they put unrealistic expectations on people, just like you're doing right now.

In a week or so they'll go back to the way things were. Working their butts off to try to keep Coraline from starving to death. How horrible of them! And maybe you went to get more popcorn quite a few times, because I could've sworn that Coraline's father was sweet, joking around with her and singing songs that made all of our ears bleed. Oh, but that's a father who just doesn't CARE about his daughter. Or how about her mother? She was clearly bothered by the fact that she couldn't afford to buy Coraline the gloves that she wanted. And when Coraline refused to go shopping with her, that hangdog look her mom gave was SURELY because she wanted to make Coraline carry the groceries in, right?

Not everyone has the luxury of being able to play with their kids at every moment of the day. Coraline is lucky that her parents work at home. Most kids wouldn't be able to see their parents at all during the day, but apparently that's okay. If they're there and they're busy, that's a crime, though.

The point of the movie isn't that things were happy and lovely and perfect, it's that she had her REAL parents back. Things might still be as boring as ever, and she might still be left to entertain herself while her parents put a roof over her head, but she has learned to appreciate what she has.

[...] the changes and others who didn’t really mind. I think the most important people are the kids. I think the Coraline in the book and the Coraline in the movie are certainly different people. [...]
