Fantasy Theme

The artifact I have chosen to analyse is the movie Coraline. This movie is about a little girl named Coraline. The movie starts off with them moving into a new house that has been divided off into different rooms and houses 3 other people. Coraline, not happy with this or how her mother has been treating her, goes exploring and finds a little door that has been wallpapered over. After begging her mom to open it, to her dismay she finds it has been bricked up. That night, Coraline is woken up to mice playing around her room. She follows them to the little door and it turns out it is now open for her to crawl through. When she does this, she finds out that it brings her to another world where everything is perfect. Her mother is extremly nice, people are fun and lively and everything just seems perfect. Sadly this isn't the case. Her other world mother tried to get Coraline to stay their forever. It turns out she has done this to 3 other children over the past years and it is up to Coraline to save their spirits from being trapped with the other world mother forever.

Setting: The pink lady (their house) and the other world
Character: Coraline, her mother, her other mother, her father, her other father, the cat, Miss Spink and Miss Forcible and their other world versions, The Amazing Bobinski and his other world version, Wybie and the other Wybie, and mice/rats, and the narrator
Action Themes: I am really unsure what this aspect is.
