I took it as a warning to Coraline, "as cute as a button in the eyes" warning her what the other mother will try to do, "she's a pal of mine" saying he is on her side, "when she goes around exploring, mom and i will never ever make it boring" they will do what they can to keep her interest, and finally "our eyes will ...
To understand the theory, it's important to know what the Other Mother actually is. She is referred to as a 'beldam,' which is a very old malicious woman and a witch. The Other Mother is a shape-shifting demon whose goal is to lure children into the Other World and entice them to stay so she can feed on their souls.
He meets his end after he destroys the bridge leading to the garden and falls through it into the water, he frees his hand by breaking the mechanical hand, and hands Coraline the first eye, (which was actually disguised as the top of the lever on his preying mantis) he accidentally slips through the opening that he ...

Coraline has been challenged for age – appropriateness, due to scary scenes that some have deemed too frightening for its young middle grade reader audience.
SO, I did some research on some mental issues, and the one most outstanding to Coraline's experience, was schizophrenia. At first, I was thinking,'This is too common to be true. ' But, as it turns out, all of her experience point to schizophrenia.
“Coraline” explores themes of deception, illusion, and the dangers of succumbing to appearances, reminding audiences to question what lies beneath the surface and to trust their instincts when something seems too good to be true.
After the Other Mother had finished with them, they were imprisoned behind the mirror, unable to pass on without their eyes (in the film) or hearts (in the book). In the end, they are freed when Coraline finds their eyes/hearts in the "three wonders" of the Other World.
As per this fan theory, the real mother and other mother are just a representation of abusive parents. During the initial scenes, it's clear that Coraline's real mother is neglectful and uninterested in her. That's why, when the little girl visits the other world, she can't believe her parents behave this nicely.
The other mother, also known as the beldam (which means witch), is the book's super creepy villain. From the very beginning, it's clear to both Coraline and the readers that there's something very, very off about this woman: She looked a little like Coraline's mother.

Mel mentions something about a car accident, which is why she is wearing a neck brace. Coraline immediately screams that the accident wasn't her fault. The audience can come to the conclusion that the accident was most likely Coraline's fault, though, due to her abrupt defensiveness.
Coraline's greatest fear at the start of the novel is that her parents do not love her enough, and the Other Mother, whom Coraline meets in the world beyond the bricked-up door, is a frighteningly literal manifestation of Coraline's inner psyche.
SPOILER ALERT: There are ghosts in “Coraline,” too, plus a very scary insect-like predator who likes to replace children's eyes with sewn-on black buttons and many other macabre and grotesque images.
This is NOT a movie appropriate for any 9 year old unless you want them growing up to be a murderer. The beginning of the movie is boring and slow. She meets a boy who finds a doll that looks exactly like Coraline and gives it to her.
I should preface the rest of this piece by confessing that, actually, there isn't any record I can find of Coraline being banned, though it has occasionally been challenged for being “unsuited to age group” which is, far as I can gather, the catch-all phrase for something your parents notice you reading that freaks ...
At one point the cat says “I'm not the other anything, I'm me” when Coraline asks if he's the other cat since he talks. He's the same cat, but being in the other world simply gives him the ability to talk.
Once Coraline finds the Other World, she also finds that the Other Mother has created an Other Wybie, with buttons for eyes and his mouth sewn shut. Adding these characters allow viewers to feel more connected to the story, especially when the film introduces the ghost of Mrs. Lovat's sister.
