• The character Wybie Lovat is not in Neil Gaiman's novel. He exists so Coraline would not have to talk to herself and so she would have a friend her age.
• During the meal with the Other Mother, the "Welcome Home" cake features a double loop on the O in "home" but not in "welcome." According to Graphology, a double loop on a lowercase O means the person who wrote it is lying. There is only one double loop, meaning she is welcome, but she is not home.
• There were 24 different puppets of Coraline used in the making of the movie, and each one took ten individuals and 3-4 months to construct.
