Everyone on /tv/ won't shut the fuck up about capeshit, and so far no one's replied to my thread over there. Besides, /co/ might appreciate this movie more.
So I was babysitting and saw this movie for the first time, and it was surprisingly good. Anyone here seen Coraline and wants to discuss it? What are some similar movies?
Also, I can't get this song out of my head, it's so catchy. I also like the foreshadowing in it. http://youtu.be/Oi9gtzslraI
>>81313940
Check out this song too then.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXYvE1sXgLkThey Might Be Giants thread?
It's a legitimately good film, but it has its flaws. /co/ was too busy masturbating like chimps to Other Mother's fat ass, though. We moved on; it didn't have a lot of memetic staying power aside from OM. That, and Laika began shitting the bed with awful films that tried to capitalize on Coraline's relative success.
They are to claymation what Tim Burton is to gothic media. Did it good at first, and by a lot, but then spent the rest of their lives milking the fuck out of a concept that only worked well once or twice.
>>81314062
Good song, I heard it was originally going to be in Coraline but they scrapped it. I also heard they wrote the song in the OP.
>>81314094
Well she does have a nice ass, to be honest.
>>81313940
I love Coraline, it's very high on my top 100 movies list.
I still love the Beldam too, I feel theirs a lot of lore surrounding her. It's a great fucking film and I wouldn't change a single thing about it but I do wonder what the original idea for it where it was a musical with songs by They Might Be Giants could've been.
>>81313940
>Besides, /co/ might appreciate this movie more.
Protip, if it has waifus /co/ loves it, if you think the girl is cute welcome home
Anyone else feel like they were setting up a sequel? Probably won't happen, but I thought it was dumb that she threw the key down the well with the sentient hand. Yeah it was smashed but if talking cats and other worlds exist in this universe, then who know what kind of weird magic can repair the hand and have it pick up the key and climb out of the well.
Also, how did that one kid know that Coraline would be outside by the well at the exact moment he did, and how did he get there at the right time to just barely save her from the hand? And why the fuck does an eleven year old kid have a motorcycle? He was riding a motorcycle, right?
>>81313940
The studio that made Coraline, Laika, does amazing stop-motion work. Check out Paranorman and their upcoming Kubo and the two strings.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1RXm81AsNo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZefKaANfe0
They also did the Boxtrolls but that's a bit more mixed in it's reception.
>>81314405
Well the Other Mother has a great ass, so I'd assume /co/ adores it.
This scene made me diamons, Rat circus guy was also pretty cool and legitimately terrifying later in the movie
>>81314441
The only thing I remember from Paranorman was a guy coming out as gay and the girl being surprised. It's been too long, I'll have to rewatch it and check out those other movies, thanks anon.
>>81314420
He was a stalker, also i think that was some kind of scooter
>>81314441
>>81314467
What's the deal with this studio and girls with great asses?
>>81314441
the only thing about Paranorman that i didn't enjoyed was the fact that the protagonist wasn't buddies with the ghosts, you would think his love for zombies and paranormal shit would make him feel curious towards them, try to befriend them which would make his parents think he has imaginary friends and shit, unless that's what happened since its been a long time since i watched it
>>81314441
Holy shit, is that water in Kubo stop motion somehow, or is it post-production CGI?
>>81314607
Damn, Laika knows what's up!
>>81314698
Hard to say, I know from Paranorman that they do a very good job of blending the two together. It wouldn't surprise me if the ocean as a whole was CGI but the water hitting the character in the boat was stop-motion.
Props to Laika, but I don't know how anyone can make stopmotion and not want to blow their brains out. Seriously, it's so damn tedious and you have to get every meticulous detail correct. It would be fun to work on one of these movies though, if only as a voice actor.
>>81315034
Whybi's grandmother's sister is the one on the right, right?
>>81315094
Probably
>>81314607
>Courtney rule 34 never caught on
It's the saddest part of this movie's existence.
>>81315094
nose doesnt look right
>>81315141
That's fucked, she's perfect rule 34 material.
>>81315190
>He's not drunk, he's just eccentric!
Nottt eeven that, aaanyyyyymorrre
>>81315293
one dimensional human blonde female character which only defining trait was to be 'the hot girl' doesn't get any porn. this kills the normie.
Alright, this is a noob question, but with stop motion taking so long, how do they sync lip movements so well and not have it look like Robot Chicken? Do the voice actors record their voices after the shots have been recorded for a movie like this?
>>81314420
>how did that one kid know that Coraline would be outside by the well at the exact moment he did
It's implied the cat went to get him.
>You know, I'm glad you decided to stalk me.
>Oh, it wasn't my idea.
First half is goat, second is pretty good. It's such a comfy movie, I hate when the story actually gets started because her just wandering around in the rain and in the "other" world is so great.
>>81315514
Hey, her ass is great, man. They should at least have her in more crossover rule 34, in fact I remember seeing one where she was Coraline's babysitter.
http://youtu.be/fGxDQRBKFZI
>>81314094
Kubo looks like it's gonna be pretty good though
SOMEONE POST THAT MIKE TYSON AUDIO
My mom doesn't like it, but that's because the (real) mother isn't a very good mom.
She also doesn't like Monster House, because the guy's wife was fat and she is too.
>>81313940
Hey its a good movie. Anyone hyped for kubo?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMmrKORgNFc
>>81316733
What?
>>81316865
I think the mom is just too busy.
>>81317893
Don't forget having her neck all fucked up.
I was impressed by how dark it was willing to go. There was heavy implicationa bunch of kids got murderedand shit.
>>81318202
That's because of a car crash.
>>81318481
Didn't it say in the book that the Other Mother ate them?
>>81313940
>that song
"Our eyes will be on Coraline"
Oh fuck
>>81317893
How many /co/ years do you have? Don't you remember that audio where Mike Tyson rapes Coraline? Til last year it was on youtube with the title "Coraline 2" but it got removed, probably because of the thread where the girl who dubbed her appeared.
Go on desustorage.org/co/ and search for "Mike Tyson Coraline", you will get the picture.
>>81319069
Kek, most of the posts on there are asking for the audio, there was even one from a few days ago. I'll google it and see what I can find.
>>81319069
Found something from an old thread, my internet is shit so i cant tell if it's me who can't load it or what. Try it for yourself if you want.
http://vocaroo.com/?media=vafH2hOBQPqT1woVv
>>81319423
Isn't that like the original audio? IIRC vocaroo auto delete the recordings after a few weeks. I regret not saving the youtube video with the audio when I had the chance, now that piece is lost forever
>>81319221
http://desustorage.org/co/thread/71928667/#71928947
This was the last time it was ever seen
>>81319911
I copy and pasted it from an old /a/ thread with like 3 replies. It might be the original. Was it funny or disturbing? Or both?
>>81320157
Funny andsexy.
Read the thread where the girl who did it talk about it
>>81319971
>>81320275
>tfw aspiring voice actor who also wants to blow a load right about now
Fuck, it's kind of depressing that this is gone forever. Maybe I'll make some threads tomorrow or even go to reddit if it comes to that and see if anyone knows about it there.
>>81314660
>unless that's what happened since its been a long time since i watched it
At the very start of the movie he's walking down the street saying high to all the regular ghosts.
>>81320691
Have this: https://youtu.be/axXAgcBAFmw
Also, do you remember that girl who answered requests with Ravinas voice? That was awesome.
I just don't remember if that was last year or 2014.
I'm gonna look it up on the archives later
>>81320275
So some anon at the end did stalker work and said that this may or may not be the audio girl in question. I don't want to make a tumblr but maybe she has a copy? Preferably with the Mike Tyson audio edited in?

Damn anon, that's great, thank you.
Can't say I remember though. I'm not on /co/ too often, I only usually come for the generals sometimes.
>>81320892
I dunno if that's her.
I remember that the stalker post got deleted when the thread was still alive.
Maybe it's worth a try
I remember going to see the Hannah Montana concert movie with some friends and thinking the teaser trailer for it looked so cool. The tone this movie gives is the best
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GkMa040rtw
>>81314094
Mind that it's not really claymation, though; it's stop-motion, but they use puppets made of some hard material.
You don't see actual clay very often in full-length movies.
>>81321084
Oh man, that whole opening scene is great, really.
http://youtu.be/haW0vKj99tk
Coraline is one of my favorite animated movies of all time. It's literally flawless. There is not a single inherently bad aspect of the movie. Some parts could be better, but there is nothing bad in it, you know? It's a 9/10, if not 9.5/10.
Humorous, dark, has a great moral, full of spectacular visual design and animation. I love it.
>>81313940
If no one's mentioned it yet, you should check out the other films from the same studio, Laika.
Be warned that Box Trolls isn't as good as Coraline and is regarded as Laika's weakest film, but you might want to give it a try if you're interested.
Paranorman, on the other hand, holds up to Coraline pretty well and in some ways may surpass it.
Kubo and the Two Strings come out in August and is looking very good in its trailers.
>>81321273
Is Coraline the only movie out of those that is based on a book?
>>81314420
Sort of. There's potential in exploring the Other Mother's backstory (which in the book at least implied she herself had a mom whom she killed to usurp power from or something), or just seeing Coraline going on more strange journeys.
I know she, ParaNorman, and the kids from Gravity Falls have been the center of a "New Mystery Incorporated kind of idea amongst people, where the kids all gang up to solve mysteries, even some taking the idea to actually include Scooby and the Gang as a kind of "Mystery solving Masters"
>>81321311
Yep.

And here's the Raven impersonator from last year
>>81315425
I fucking loved that line and when Other Mother tapped her eye in time with the water then vanished.
>>81318683
Sucked the love and life out of them until nothing remained. I got a chance to read the book and I'd almost wished they had gone with how the fight with Other Father went down.
>OM implies a soul is in the cellar and coughs up a key
>It's where everything left to be forgotten
>OF is there as punishment for speaking about OM
>He's lost all definition and it's only his voice that makes Coraline know it's meant to be her dad
>Warns her to leave and he can feel OM forcing him to attack
>She tells him he's strong and to fight it
>He moves to block the door and sadly says he's not strong enough
>>81321511
Speaking of Gravity Falls, doesn't the guy who voiced Robbie also voice someone in Paranorman, or am I mixing Big Hero 6 in this? I know for a fact that he's in Big Hero 6.
>>81321632
Damn, I know it's a kid's book but since I enjoyed the movie, and that sounds awesome, I need to read the book again. Thanks, anon.
>>81321674
He's Fred
>>81321897
Ah cool, thanks.
>>81321816
Neil Gaimon was writing it primarily for his daughter's sake, since she was apparently having trouble grasping reading.
>>81321986
That's awesome. I remember we read it in school. I should have paid more attention but I was a kid and fuck required reading at that age, am I right?
>>81322044
Nah I loved reading as a kid. It's fucking sad that at the elementary school I work as a substitute librarian there's apparently sixth grade students who can't read past second grade level.
Back on-topic, I thought the book version was pretty ballsy for telling that the cat straight up decapitated one of the rats and thought the walk into the void past the area of the house was some freaky shit.
>>81322044
I use to read a lot of Goosebumps as a kid and steal them school. When the movie came out my nephews got all hyped and asked if I had them. Currently I'm reading them Night of the living Dummy ll. I'm a fan when old kids books come back in style.
>>81322044
Eh, I know that feeling. I refused to read a lot of the required books because I didn't like being told what to read. Fuck Phantom Tollbooth. Movie was fine, sure, but I really didn't care for the book it was based on.
>>81322232
Movie too
>"I don't like rats at the best of times, but this one was sounding an alarm."
>>81315579
They record the dialogues with the help of the director and the storyboard's sketches, then they start the animation and lip sync process with the pre recorded audio
>>81322819
That's cool. I imagine that' ps really difficult to do with stop motion, especially with this movie because they made tons of figures for each character instead of moving clay around.
>>81315579
>Alright, this is a noob question, but with stop motion taking so long, how do they sync lip movements so well and not have it look like Robot Chicken?
Practice.
>>81323083
>>81315579
Laika uses a 3D printing process to create all the interchangable expressions and lip movements for the stop motion figures. They usually do that sort of planning through handdrawn animated passes and actually, some CG modeling.
Here's a sample of 2D dialog testing on Paranorman
https://vimeo.com/48783829
>>81318784
>the unflinching smiles and stares when she walks up the steps
Y'know what I liked even if it throws me for a loop? The inhabitants are just creations by Other Mother but the father and friend both acted in Coraline's best interest. The former broke free from his bonds to give a soul while the latter literally saved her and helped her escape knowing it'd cost him his life.
>>81313940
It's an excellent movie, I always make sure to take my siblings to see the Laika movies in the theaters.
It's not a movie, but a miniseries you might want to try is Over the Garden Wall, pick related. It's about a pair of brothers who windup in an "otherworld" like Coraline did and have to find their way back home. They come across witches, talking animals, demonic doges, and all sorts of interesting characters.
It's 10 episodes that are about 11 episodes each, so you can watch it in one sitting as if it was a movie.
