There were many things that creeped me out in Coraline. None moreso than Miss Spink and Miss Forcible's boobs D:
Element of Ambiguity

The scene where the Other Mother makes Coraline The Offer is probably one of my favorites scenes of both the book and the movie. So damned creepy!
Spink and Forcible were hilarious though, being former burlesque dancers and all their little Scotties and all.

@Drenius Problem with that: If everything is an extension of her. How the hell could Coraline escape?
How does that one go again?

Back from another game of Pony Fortress. What have I missed?
Yeah, Andromeda is heading for you. You got over 9000 years until it collides.

You guys know the foreshadowing here right?

Ginger: That raises a good point, maybe it works the same way Jareth's power worked in Labyrinth? It only affects you so long as you accept that it has power over you?
I can't remember the exact wording of the offer, but the gist was "you can stay here with me and the other father forever so long as you do as I say and replace your eyes with buttons." Of course, she presents the button eyes as a present wrapped in a bow and everything <shudder>
Of course.

I haven't seen Coraline in a long time, so I'll have to get on that.

Who would all the other characters be then in a ponified version?

I'm sure I've seen some Coraline ponies out there. With buttons for eyes.

Hm.. Maybe Big Mac would be Mister Bobo/Bobinski. I'm not sure about Forcible or Spink, Maybe Granny Smith for one of the two? Another question is if we're including Wieby.
Arglejsdf. But seriously, I can respect that, there is some really weird claymation.

I never liked Caroline. Really I don't like claymation much, it find it freaky to look at.

@Ginger
I saw Nightmare Before Christmas when I was like...four....and it scared me for life XD
Recently in life I have grown to appreciate it, but I would refuse to be in the same room it was playing in for years my fear was so strong XD

L Mage: If you want freaky, try watching the claymation Version of The Adventures of Mark Twain.

@ginger I haven't seen much of Tim Burton's work. He did Monster House though, right?
EDIT: I guess he didn't.
