Rewatching Coraline and here are some things I've noticed so far:
-When Coraline goes to visit Mrs. Spink and Mrs. Forcable, the card on the top of the pile on the table is the five of hearts, but then the pot of candy is removed, it's a four of spades.
-The vehicle The Other Father is driving is a praying mantis, (pretty sure) which is ironic, considering he is killed by his 'wife' in technicality
-The 'Soul' Ring is shown during the performance scene when Coraline is picked up from the crowd
-The Other Mother's red outfit can be slightly seen under her normal clothes when asking Coraline to sew in buttons, possibly representing how her true colours are showing
-Coraline's Other Father has different glasses to her actual father
-The Mouse circus has a 'R' on the 'walls'
-The set of draws shown mere seconds into the film is the bug that blocks Coraline from the Door
-By the mirror where Coraline gets trapped, there is a painting of (I think) her house
-The mask Wybie uses when he pulls Coraline out of the mirror is the chicken oven glove used earlier by the Other Mother
-Coraline naturally has brown hair, shown in a photo after she realises her parents are missing and visits Spink & Forcible
-When Coraline's parents are shown in the mirror, her father is wearing glasses, even though Coraline used his glasses when making her fake parents. They are different types of glasses, though, so it's possible he just has two pairs.
-when Coraline goes through the portal, it's no longer blue and purple, possibly showing how the illusion has been broken.
-The wallpaper in the normal world is vaguely floral, whereas in the other world, it's of beetles.
-When the other mother's creations are destroyed, a sand like substance spills out. It could be a reference to how dry clay crumbles when broken as a link to the book
-Before the whole plot, the snow globe had two figures by the fountain, but when they 'break out' the figures are gone
-The thing holding up Coraline's picture of her friends is a preying mantis
-Coraline's trousers are patched up with the fabric from the star shirt she got from the Other Mother
-The well is designed to look a lot like the tunnel portal
-Coraline has a pinkish mark around her throat when they throw the Other Mother's hand into the well, but it is gone in the next scene, which is funny because a lot of characters have some kind of red 'ring' on them, like the dog's red collars and a bunch of other examples
That is all! I am fully aware that I'm probably wrong with multiple observations and that is okay :)

CORALINE
Prints Available
This one is so very special to me.
A few years ago, on a rainy day, a friend introduced me to the Coraline film, and I immediately fell in love with it. It's become my favorite animation, so far nothing compares.
So I had to draw her and it was a lot of fun reinterpreting her looks. She is a teenager here, obviously. I am quite proud how she came out.
Happy Halloween!
