Themes:
- Courage and Bravery
- Looks can be deceiving 

{S}The theme looks can be deceiving is shown through the gradual
change of the other mother from a honey sweet woman to a vinegar sour 
metal spider. {E} At the start of the film the other mother appears short,
curvy and wearing the same clothes as coraline real mother. {X} This 
makes the audience feel safe, happy and relaxed towards the other mother.
{X}The director did this to show us that coraline feels at home with the 
other mother in the other world. {E} However , the other mother changes 
slowly througout the film until she  finally becomes a skeletal,metal spider who wants to trap coraline in her other world.When we first see the other mother she is in a warm orange light which makes her seem evil,grotesque and horrifying. Selick shows this changes  to help the audience understand that the other mother was not who  she really appeared to be and this shows the theme,'looks can be deceiving'.
