Currently rewatching Coraline and i noticed something weird. In the scene where Coraline gets the poison oak rash from the dowsing rod it is pouring outside. Like showering. Even so to where her real mother comments on it.
When Coraline first comes over to the other world, the other mother sees the rash and says that mud is great for poison oak, and the fact that coraline never said she had poison oak and the other mother was watching her through the doll creeps me out and then later puts mud on the rash only for it to disappear in the morning.
But again, the scene that she got the rash in was pouring rain, along with her touching lots of mud.
So how did the other mothers mud work?
Was that just another way that the other mother was trying to convince Coraline to stay? Either way, super cool detail that the "real" mud didn't even come close to fixing the rash, but the other worlds mud (or the mud the other mother created) did.
