CORALINE’S ALTERNATE UNIVERSE SONG | ANIMATIC | Other Father Song/Dreaming【By MilkyyMelodies】

WHAT IF THE BELDAM RETURNED? In this alternate universe, the Beldam possesses a power that allows her to save herself in a life or death situation. This power is linked to her shapeshifting and reality manipulating abilities. In this AU Coraline truly escaped from The Other World and the theory that she never left isn’t true. In the movie once the Beldam is defeated she pleads with Coraline begging her to stay and she also makes it very clear that she’ll die without her. This is because the Beldam requires human souls to keep on living. Coraline had a soul she wanted quite desperately, perhaps more than any other child she’d eaten before because Coraline was witty and had beaten her at her own game. In a last attempt to survive she uses this power on Coraline. The Beldam never used this before because it takes years to fully manifest and besides she always got what she wanted in the end, but her encounter with Coraline left her with no other choice. In this version of the story Coraline keeps the key to the Other World around her neck at all times after she and Wybie throw the Beldam’s hand down the well. She feared that if the hand got anywhere close to the key, the Beldam would find a way to return. Coraline becomes extremely paranoid and never leaves the Pink Palace even after her parents and neighbours pass away. She decides to buy the whole place and lives there alone. Somehow she feels like the responsibility to guard the key and door to the Other World falls on her...
