So, I want to just put this message out there about this movie and see what people think. The movie claims to be about being ungrateful comes with danger. I believe this movie is really about a dysfunctional family. Albeit I think Coraline's parents are trying this message of ungratefulness is dangerous. What I think is wrong to do to a child is put the idea that if you are ungrateful to your dysfunctional family this will make you vulnerable to predators. The real life problem is if parents neglect their child they will be vulnerable to predators. Basically your trying to put the responsibility on the child when the responsibility belongs to the adult. I fear that this choice was deliberate and perhaps the movie is trying to fuel the dysfunctional family. Trying to shift blame where it doesn't belong. That is exactly what dysfunctional families do. What does everyone think?
