 
A question I've pondered over for a long time is why the beldam bothers with button eyes if you haven't watched my previous
Coraline theories oh boy. There are a lot of them
I think this is number 14 if you're new here start with the Coraline core theory that covers my theories part 1 through 10
But do not start with this video first or you're going to be completely lost
So my belief is still unwavering that coraline never returns to the real world after she enters the other world
There are a number of signs that show this
Including a distortion of time when coraline's trip to the other world appears to take place over a few days
The movie starts in the fall, then abruptly skips to President's day
Which is in February for any of my non-American friends listening then the movie ends with the orchard in full blossom in the springtime?
Like I mentioned a minute ago
I've gone over this movie a lot with a fine-tooth comb and I've picked out a lot of details that most viewers missed
But I think I've discovered the reason as to why the beldam sews buttons into the eyes of her victims
Initially I chalked this up to a scare tactic because if the Beldam freaked coraline out enough
Coraline would never attempt to open the little door again
And thereby be content and trapped in the limbo pink palace again if you're lost here
Please go watch my other theories because I can't explain them all in detail every time well
I now have an additional train of thought for the button eyes now
I do still firmly believe that the belle dame has coraline stuck in the limbo pink palace
Which is like the second floor of the other world the first?
level with the true exit to the real world is in the Belle diems lair and
Coraline has gotten herself stuck on the second level and then she went and locked the door and threw the key away
Meaning coraline is trapped forever in the other world
but she's with the beldam who's posing as her mother Mel Jones and
Coraline is perfectly happy so it's not exactly a sad ending
Anyways about the button eyes while I thought it was part of the Belle dance
Tactic to make coraline too afraid to enter the Belle dance lair again. I started to wonder
What if coraline was so happy with the other mother that she agrees to the buttons well?
I have an answer that's short simple and practical
If coraline would have said yes to the buttons the beldam would have sewn in the buttons of course
But not because the buttons have any special power to keep humans trapped in the other world the Belle dame offers up button eyes
Because she's trying to work smarter not harder. No matter what choice
They make the kids are trapped and never going home
But if the belle Dams life Force is sustained on love as I've speculated on before then a child who actually?
Loves the other mother can stay with her in the Belle diems lair
Taking away the child's eyes makes it to where they can't see to escape and it gives the belt in the bonus of not having
To keep up a Sharad and expend a lot of magical energy
Making the Police look however the kid wants it to
Think about it if a child can't see does it matter what their food looks like or their house or the other mother herself
they could be living in that white space for all of eternity and the blind child wouldn't know the difference and
True we know that the beldam can see through the button eyes and probably control whoever has button eyes
But there's no solid proof that coraline would be able to see herself
Since I don't believe that the ghost children are real whether or not they can see is irrelevant and let's not forget
The Beldam doesn't actually need her button eyes to see sure she makes a big show about being blinded by the black cat
But shortly before the Grand finale
escape the Beldam reveals that she can shape-shift and create real eyes for herself too making the buttons just
superficial and
Unnecessary keep in mind after coraline rejects the buttons the beldams next goal is to keep coraline trapped in the pink palace
Limbo
So everything we see after that refusal is just to keep coraline from ever opening the little door again
Which means the bell Dam is going to go all out to freak coraline out and play her game of Cat-and-Mouse
So there you have it the button eyes are like negotiating a business transaction
You never start with your highest offer you always start with a lower price
To see if you can save money the bell dam leads with the button eyes offered with the hopes of saving herself
Energy which may in turn make her meals last longer just to clarify
I believe that the beldam has a lot more power than she shows us, but I don't think it's limitless power either
Or else the Beldam would just go into the real world and do whatever she wanted there
so to conserve magical energy
It seems like it would be in the Beldam's own best
interest if I'm still losing you the button eyes are ultimately the Beldam's plan A
So that she has a chance to keep her victims trapped without having to constantly
Create their visual environment and her plan b
Is to hurt people into the limbo pink palace?
Level of the other world where she does expel more energy to keep her sheeple happy
But the Beldam still gets to keep her victims contained like food in a pantry
So it's a higher cost in terms of magic used, but the other mother still wins now
I know you guys are going to start commenting do more coraline, and I love you
But there's only so many theories that I can give you based off this one movie
So instead of saying more coraline
Give me some titles of other movies that you would like me to talk about I can't make any promises
But I do read most of my comments
And I watch as many of the recommended movies that I can I made my dumbo theory because of a recommendation
My second Corpse pride video Rick and morty and a number of others based on fan requests
So I am around even if I'm not responding and I do try to hear what you guys want to see the most well
