There is no garden in the book, so instead of facing the enchanted pumpkin there, our heroine is locked in a basement with a giant grub-like Other Father. The biggest change occurs when Coraline faces her Other Father.
Sure some of her lines are cut/altered, but she’s still the same evil creature that haunts your inner child’s nightmares in both versions. Oddly enough The Other Mother isn’t a part of this change.

That’s right, the majority of the changes made between book and movie were made in events and characters in The Other World. His role wasn’t even a big one and I still can’t imagine how the movie would have gone without him. I’m not sure how well he would have fit into the book, but in the movie it works. Wilbourne Lovat was introduced in the movie as a way of keeping Coraline from walking around muttering to herself every once in a while during her time in the real world. B doesn’t have a name until the end of the book (which turns out to be Bobo instead of Bobinski), and Wybie… Wybie is the exception. Spink and Forcible are still incapable of realizing they are has-beens, Mr. Yet again these characters underwent minor to no changes with one exception. Bobinski, and just for the sake of not knowing where exactly he lives in relation to Coraline, Wybie. The eccentric and aged Misses Spink and Forcible, the zany and even more eccentric Mr. Since they don’t exactly do much in the story other than act as damsels in distress, I think I can leave it at that.Īh, those quirky, entertaining weirdos that Coraline is forced to share an old house-turned-apartment with. Still fairly inattentive to Coraline and more involved in their jobs. It gives her more personality and makes her seem more realistic. If I had to point out any kind of change, it would be that she is a bit more selfish and whiney in the movie, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. In the book Coraline is a bit more formal and polite, but that might be because the book takes place in England, and the movie has her talking like any other girl from Michigan would. There are close to no differences between Coraline in the book and Coraline in the movie. These are valid complaints, especially for a young girl, but damn… move on! Nobody is going to get your name right, so you might as well consider changing it to Caroline. She is very smart, though she spends a large portion of the book and movie (much larger than I care for)sulking and being aggravated by people ignoring her and getting her name wrong.
Coraline then finds that her dream land isn’t so much of a dream, but a nightmare that was coated in a quickly dissolving sugar.Ĭoraline is… well, there honestly isn’t much to her.
Girl stumbles into Wonderland what I’m going to assume should be called “The Other World” and finds that there, she is the center of attention. You came to find out if you should read Neil Gaiman’s Coraline, or simply pop Henry Selick’s Coraline (2009) in the DVD player. But when everybody you know makes it a point to mention the movie to you, referring to it as “Tim Burton’s new movie”, you kind of want to punch people in the face and tell them “WHERE did they say it was a Tim Burton film?!”, “You mean the new Henry Selick film?” or “Burton did pretty much everything in Nightmare EXCEPT direct, get it right!” Though you didn’t come here for me to rage about people and their constant need to annoy me. I didn’t mind people mistaking it for a Tim Burton movie. Now before you jump on me for being nitpicky, I’ll tell you why that’s not the case. I was also a little annoyed by its release mainly because people heard the words “From the director of The Nightmare Before Christmas and assumed that meant it was a Tim Burton film even though Burton’s name was NEVER mentioned. It looked good but I never made seeing it a priority. I remember back in 2009 when Coraline was released. I swear they will get more frequent now! I’m probably lying about that last part.Ĭoraline (Neil Gaiman) vs. Sorry about the gigantic delay in updating! The charger for my laptop gave out on me, on top of some work and family complications I’ve been having.
