hans is the dumbest animated villain ever. he does nothing, and is only there to go against the disney stereotype of 'love at first sight'

When I sat down to watch Coraline, I was tipsy. The alcohol wore off as the film became stranger and stranger so I never truly felt sober.

"I am the amazing Bobinsky! But you call me Mr. B. Because, amazing, I already know that I am."

The book was so much creepier. Worth the read.
BrianOfNazareth
Neil Gaiman sure knows how to tell a creepy story. I liked The Graveyard Book too.

Hans Gruber from the animated version of Die Hard.

Neil Gaiman is a god.

but he is not an american god
IsThereAirYouDontKnow
Well played. :)
Psychethos
Yup. First things I read by him were the Sandman comics, have read everything he's written since. One of the best storytellers of all time.
BygoneMocha
A lot of Gaiman's storytelling genius is his ability to adapt myth for modern audiences. Even Coraline retells the myth of Persephone.
IndystarX
Speaking of Sandman, anyone else think Gaiman looks like Morpheus? Cause I think he does
Xeans
Perhaps Morpheus is partly based on Gaiman. They are, after a fashion, both the principal storyteller of the series.
Nize426
Hans wasn't even that bad was he? (Skipped a few important parts of the movie). Don't see why he didn't try to marry Elsa instead though
fandsor
Agreed. The Hans villain transformation was lackluster and unbelievable. He's Disney's most pathetic villain.
WhimsicalCalamari
you must have missed some pretty important parts of the movie then
Nize426
Damn, I'll have to rewatch it again. I only had 30 minutes so i told my friend to just show me the highlights so I could stay current.
Thorhees
You missed a very important part.
krioc
Hans was fuckin' tacked on after a late game plot change and it showed. I don't know why anyone is even saying he was an effective villain.
penguing
He was barely even part of the movie. Was the plot change from Elsa to Hans as the villain?
krioc
Yes. After they realized Let It Go was going to be every little girl's favorite song, they had to make someone else the antagonist.
ANewBadlyDrawnReactionImageAsIMakeThem
In the book, Elsa, IS the villan. and an excellent one too.
IrgendSoEinTyp
HouseOfEvil
I absolutely love the movie Coraline. Who is this Hans & Mother Grothel you speak of?
lilpeanut
*Gothel. OP done made a typo
captjaye
Hans is from Frozen and Mother Grothel is from Tangled
iSoulend
I though you were talking the witch in an animated Hansel & Grethel that I didn't know of, and that you were just terrible at spelling names
howdoiscience
I can see Mother Grothel being a contender for a terrible villain if you get into the psychology of it, but Hans is tame.
HouseOfEvil
Ohhh. Thanks. The way they were mentioned, I thought they were supposed to be from the same story.
IndystarX
Seriously? Hans one of the worst villain? Have we forgotten men like Judge Frollo and Scar, two villians who actually KILLED people?
Toxcydia
My vote is for Frollo. Kills parents, locks child in tower to do his bidding. Lusts for a Gypsy girl after publicly hunting them. Twisted.
UptownFunkgotmeLockedOutOfHeavenwitha24kMagicGrenade
I prefer Shan Yu. Killed an entire village cuz "Why the fuck not?"
venster
They're considered worst animated villains ever? wtf....
Myfirstnamewaschosen
Hunter from Bambi.
twostepsfromlost
Hexxus from fern gully, the harpy from the last unicorn or gollum from the animated hobbit movie where all way more terrifying.
PlasticFantasticLover
I was both terrified of and attracted to hexxus as a kid. Confusing, and unsettling, but such a great villain.
boshbishbash
Tim Curry is a sexy beast, I don't blame you.
Brucecori2
Idk Maleficient lost it because she wasnt invited to a damn party and tried to kill a baby. Cool it bitch.
Kitsunekain
Back in the times, to not be invited to a party such as that was an extreme offense. They specifically didn't invite Maleficient.
Kitsunekain
IIRC she even gave them a chance to rectify the mistake but they basically slapped her in the face and told her to gtfo. It's been forever.
Kitsunekain
Back in the times, to not be invited to a party such as that was an extreme offense. They specifically didn't invite Maleficient.
Brucecori2
I could see how inviting the rest of the fairies and not her was offensive but if someone flipped me off i wouldn't try to kill their infant

When I read that in 4th grade, my bed was next to a window. For weeks I thought the hand was scratching on the glass next to my face
Octopugs
Read it in 5th grade my teacher didn't realize how it would make ten year olds feel. I didn't sleep for ages
Aryn240
I allways tell people this. This book was much creepier
TomWaits4no1
I picked the book out of a random section at Barnes and noble about 13 years ago. Never thought it would become a movie. Scary book
NightPainPoe
I liked it. I had a horrible mother and the other mother was like her in many ways, so it was enjoyable to know I wasnt alone.
akki14
I got the graphic novel version... it was in the kids section of the book shop... opened book to Other Mother & nearly dropped the book. wtf
akki14
also, i just don't like the boy character in the movie. added in for "love" interest? dunno. Coraline is interesting in her own ways, on own
Kaysmira
I have heard the case made that he was added so she would have someone to talk at for exposition purposes, instead of talking to herself.
akki14
eh. More people should learn it's normal to talk to yourself sometimes...
RobotCosmonaut
Was going to say the same thing. I seem to remember the Other Dad's part of the story being WAY freakier in the book.
turkeyfeathergal
I thinkat one point he was in this basement and was just a fleshy blob thing that chased her. Fucking scared me more than the other mother.
Chixiepixie
Gaimen, man.
Psychethos
Gaiman*. But yes.
Tylendal
Coraline is one of the only cases where I consider the movie better than the book. Not to say it wasn't a great book.
Psychethos
I disagree. I love the visual style of the movie, but I disliked some of the changes they made to the story.
rainydaysunshine
I agree - I love Neil Gaiman and I love this story but the movie just felt more finished. There were more subtle thematic elements going on
greyandstripes
I respectfully disagree. The movie was a great book adaptation, I just thought the book left just enough to the imagination.
missnurse
I haven't read Coraline, but I have read a lot of Gaiman's other works. The Graveyard Book is delightfully dark. I will get Coraline next :)
LicensedMemer
Replying so I remember authors name
TheCrocodileInTheMoatOfTheWastedCastle
I've read just about everything he's ever done. I think a Neverwhere is my favorite.
MethrandiroftheHighCouncil
Read the Sandman comics. And Good Omens ( co-authored with Terry Pratchett of Discworld fame )
AndSoAdInfinitum
And after that, read all the Discworld novels. Come on, man, list's growing!
SethBalmore
Gaiman is excellent. I'd recommend The Ocean at the End of the Lane if you enjoyed The Graveyard Book.
Psychethos
I love the Graveyard Book too, I'm surprised it hasn't already been turned into a movie. It's the Jungle Book but with ghosts.
thecrayonisred
The Graveyard Book is nowhere near as dark as Coraline. Still can't believe they tried to market it like a children's movie
TownsendV228
Read the first review. The user explains how it wasn't intended as a "children's movie" (1)
TabWhore
Probably because it is a children's book. Gaiman wrote it because his daughter wanted a horror story and he couldn't find one for kids.

I've regrettably only read one Gaiman book, American Gods. Loved it, though.
mijosm
I've just finished American Gods and absolutely loved it too! Neil Gaiman is incredible.
romanticanddrenchedinsin
If you lived American Gods, read Anansi Boys, there's a tiny bit of a cross over with characters and it's mega cool
afterdinneromelets
I felt like Anansi Boys was Gaimon's "happily ever after" apology for how (deliciously) fucked up everything in American Gods was.
romanticanddrenchedinsin
Well it was really a separate novel with different themes I just thought it was cool he had a little overlap as if they happened in the 1/2
romanticanddrenchedinsin
Same fictional universe 2/2
Zephronias
I read this as a kid and thought, "Lemony Snicket said this was scary. It's not scary!" Then I read it as an adult and it's like, "NOOOOOO!"
Ilikefriedpickles
I thought the same thing when I read it as a wee one. I guess I'll have to reread it now and see if it scares me.
passerdomesticus
I actually felt the opposite. I saw the movie first and thought the book was tamer.
greyandstripes
It was probably because I didn't know what it was, and didn't expect anything, and then it was suddenly spoopy.
passerdomesticus
Spoooooopy........ :)

Hans isn't the worst villan. He's just badly written.
TheThingBabiesSuckOn
Hans is actually well written. There's people like him. Coralines other mother? That's not real
Melonfish
One of my son's fave films. He's 8. i can't stand to watch it, gives me the screeming heebie jeebies.
notthesameasmyotheraccountss
Is that a Reefer Madness thing?
razetherunner
well, it was described as an adventure story for kids and a horror movie for adults, so...
mateysaidwot
The opening sequence was more than my boy could handle. Years later he plays 5 Nights at Freddy's.. but this film still terrifies him.
SkittleE
Well, to be fair, I can't play Luigi's Mansion after dark without being scared and FNaF doesn't scare me. I love Coraline, though.
CommentMedic
to be fair, the first luigi's mansion has a pretty dark atmosphere.
IridescentLotus
I made a D&D villain for my group based on her - she was a voodoo master and had dolls made of skin - creeped them out! :D :D
Vortaka
Hans and Mother Gothel with humans though. Other Mother was a monster.
razetherunner
well, she was a Beldam, and since Gaiman made that up, we have no idea if she was always a monster, or used to be human.
SpaceOutlaw
By keeping that magic flower secret mother Gothel stopped a lot of wars over a flower that would make you immortal. Just saying.
Vortaka
It's pretty clear she was a totally self-serving woman, but that scenario would be interesting to see. She's saving the world from itself.
SpaceOutlaw
Doesn't matter if it's intentional or not. She did keep peace. Think of all the villains who would want a piece of that flower.
Vortaka
She totally did, I just think it'd be interesting to see a story where she intentionally took the burden upon herself to hide the flower.
SpaceOutlaw
True. She might have still. Rapunzel might have been part of her plan to keep peace while still ensuring the happiness of one small child.
SpaceOutlaw
Doesn't matter if it's intentional or not. She did keep peace. Think of all the villains who would want a piece of that flower.

I watched this on xmas day with my then 4 year old daughter. She loved it, but I'm not sure it's the best holiday movie.

I'm still of the opinion that Frollo is probably the nastiest of the animated villains.

he is, and always will be, my prime example of Lawful Evil in tabletop rpgs.
itsPixie
I HAVE to agree with this. I will never forget the song about how esmerelda must have put a gypsy curse on him cuz he wanted to bang her wtf
Psychethos
Agreed. He is a seriously dark character for a children's movie. Hellfire is probably the most awesome villain song, though.

No, it was produced by Henry Selick. It's "from the director of The Nightmare Before Christmas", which people assume was Tim Burton.

Okay that makes a lot of sense. So my original statement should have been about Henry Selick because he was the director of nightmare.

In movies producers rarely have a lot of creative input. Directors and writers tend to be the major creative contributors.

NB4C is the complete opposite, showing how adorable any creepy, nightmarish creature can be.

Now I liked the story and cutesy of NB4C but still couldn't get over the stomach churning feeling of watching a stop-animation.

See, I think they can be cute, depending on how they are done. Or terrifying. No in-the-middle, really.

Also Neil Gaiman. What did you expect going in, a Tim Burton experience? Lol
NidrianHates
I did not know it was Neil Gaiman when I decided to watch it. So yeah, it was a bit of a surprise.

Neil Gaiman is a motherfucking genius and he did not get the recognition he deserves for this movie.

If you liked that book, you should also check out The Thief of Always (Clive Barker).

It's weird, right? Like he is pretty much a god to everyone who knows his work, but still when I mention him most people don't know him.
impoverishedWASP
Everyone should know him. I seriously love everything he's ever done. Except Anansi Boys. That was just okay.
Psychethos
Agreed on Anansi Boys, not his best work.

American Gods was so good though. I didn't except A B to live up to it.
