Animation Fun Facts! for Coraline (2009) [source]

• We see three silhouettes before her Other parents mention the buttons. They represent the three ghost children when they were alive.
• Originally Coraline was going to be a musical featuring songs from They Might Be Giants, after switching to a darker tone only one song was kept “The Other Father Song.” They said they plan on releasing the songs with other albums and have released one already “Careful What You Pack.”
• It’s said that the town used in Coraline is Ashland, Oregon as the film takes place in Oregon and we see signs for The Oregon Shakespeare Festival which takes place there.
