* The theatre scene is even funnier when you think of Coraline's reaction to it, and how every kid in the audience probably felt the same!
* After she defeats the Other Mother, Coraline is visited by the Cat again in her own world, and she asks if he's mad about being thrown at the Other Mother as a last ditch effort. The Cat's expression is priceless. Probably because you know he can't ''say'' how he feels, because he's not in the Other World where he can talk.



* Mrs. Jones tries to keep Coraline occupied by suggesting she visits the downstairs neighbors Miss Spink and Forcible. Coraline immediately points out that Mrs. Jones herself has called them dingbats, to which she responds with a blunt "Mm-hm."

** The Other Forcible and Spink's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zJnA3F34CU "Sirens of the Sea"]] song. It has to be seen to be believed. Coraline's reaction to the Other Miss Forcible emerging [[FanDisservice nearly nude]] in a seashell pretty much mirrors that of the audience.

\n* A twist of funny-creepy Gaiman wit exerts itself in the conversation after Coraline comes out of the mirror, telling her other mother that she's seen the dead children.
--> '''Other Mother:''' Now, I think you're being silly, dear...nobody believes in ghosts anyway--that's because they're all such liars.

* In the book, the name of the man upstairs who claims to train mice is never named until the end, when Coraline learns from Spink and Forcible that it's Mr. Bobo. She then realizes that she missed out on a great opportunity, as how often can you call someone "Mr. Bobo"?

* In the movie after Coraline finds the hot water tank, right before she marks down the hot water tank, we see "12 disgusting bugs!" written down. Then when she presses a button, it causes a power surge and causes some problems on Dad's computer, making him yell "[[BigNo NOOOOOO!]]" and Coraline gets an "OhCrap" expression on her face, before she runs back to the closet, puts a label "DON'T PUSH" back on and then presses the button, causing everything to go back to normal and then she walks out, trying to act like she didn't do anything.
