History TearJerker / Coraline

-->'''Other Bobinksy''': [[spoiler: "''Not even that... Anymore...''"]]

* The Other Bobinsky's fate. While he isn't as sympathetic as the Other Father, there's something tragic about the resigned tone in his voice [[spoiler: before he reveals he just a pile of rats.]]

* The boy of the three children relating how he forgot almost everything about his life before the beldam, from his governess's name to his own. He even mostly forgets his gender!

* The story about the bees. [[spoiler: When she was younger, Coraline's father would take her on walks around junk-laden fields. During one of these trips, he stopped dead and told her to run. She did as she was told, and he followed her later. Turned out he'd trodden on a bees nest and stayed still so that the bees would all go for him while Coraline got away.]]

** On a meta example, a cut line where Coraline [[spoiler: asks if Wybie's grandmother is black, which she is, and admits that she may have found the former's dead sister.]]

** Coraline trying to get Other Wybie to come with her is also upsetting. It shows how fond she's grown of him and how she doesn't want any harm to come to her friend. That she believes for a few seconds that he can be safe in the real world only to be shown he can't leave without turning into a pile of dust.

* Coraline calling the police [[spoiler: and them [[PoliceAreUseless not believing her]] when [[CassandraTruth she says "My Other Mother has them"]]]]. Normally Coraline is GenreSavvy enough to avoid making such mistakes, but you can see how upset she is [[spoiler: after seeing her parents trapped in the mirror.]]

** Her overprotectiveness of Wybie becomes even more heartbreaking when you learn that he has a form of scoliosis and that [[FridgeHorror if the Other Mother had gotten hungry enough, [[spoiler: he could've been the next victim]].]]

** [[spoiler:The Other Father miserably trying to express how sorry he is and how he doesn't want to hurt her as he's forced to hack away at his "daughter".]]

** Made even sadder [[spoiler: considering the Pillow Parents scene. Seeing as though that was the last thing she said to her own mother, before she and her father get kidnapped.]]

* "Don't remember our names, but I remember my true mommy."

* [[spoiler:The death of the other father. A being created by the other mother solely to love Coraline... and he did.]]

*** The first time this troper [[TearJerker ever cried at a movie]]. ''Ever''.

** That scene brought up bad memories for this troper the second time she saw it.

* The story about the bees. [[spoiler: When she was a child, Coraline's father would take her on walks around junk-laden fields. During one of these trips, he stopped dead and told her to run. She did as she was told, and he followed her later. Turned out he'd trodden on a bees nest and stayed still so that the bees would all go for him while Coraline got away.]]

* The story about the bees.

* [[spoiler:The "pillow-parents" scene]]

* The look on the real mother's face after Coraline says 'That's what you say all the time.' They're not bad people, they're just busy, and they do try to make it up to Coraline.

** ''Good night Dad'' (smack) ''Good noght, Mom''.
