As a child, there are times of boredom when I can't do anything but sit around and do nothing. The call to adventure is always the entertaining way to enjoy life while you can, without all the stress and burdens. I tend to visualize and act on my imagination more than I would ever do as an adult now. An escape from the real world is all I can ever think of as a child and even now.

Coraline throughout most of the story is really strong willed and confident, taking on new challenges and adventures with little fear. In the beginning of the story, she looks for a better family in 'the other world' because she is deprived of her parents' attentions due to their busy work habits, and I believe that I have come to the point in life where I have also learned to be independent. Although I might not be as brave as her because the Other Mother scares the absolute living poop out of me, I think that I also have a tendency to want to explore and venture out on my own, at my own pace.

The animation between the two movies are significantly different: while Alice in Wonderland takes place in the 50's, Coraline was produced in 2009. Technology has made huge advancements, including in arts and animations. This means that the animation seen in Coraline is a lot smoother, along with the sound recordings and voices used. The animation used in Alice in Wonderland helps the movie give off a really dreamy imaginative world feel to it, while the style of art and animation used in Coraline can almost be unsettling at times, with weird and deformed characters showing with great details (Mr. Bobinsky, for example). The magical world in Coraline gives off a more dangerous undertone and is both unsettling and magical at the same time. For example, the garden that Coraline's dad made for her is beautiful with vibrant plants that come to life, yet everyone there seems to have buttons sewn to their eyes.

In both films, the general message and moral is to be grateful for what you have and have the determination to achieve your goals. Both characters desire the call to adventure and an escape from the reality that had plagued them with boredom for a long while. The imagery of both films provides insight into each character's imagination as they proceed into the adventurous world. As the films go on, we, the viewers, start to notice the difference between both worlds. For example, in Coraline, the buttons of the "Other Parents" symbolize the desire for fun, but with the price of freedom.

Personally within my classtime watching the two medias, I think I am more associated towards Coraline, specifically with how she is explorative in nature, how she's a quick thinker and creative, and also her perspective on the world at her young age. I relate to this so heavily because as a kid I was always very creative, and quick to act on my thoughts. I was very curious about the world around me and I feel this was also why I felt a personal connection towards Coraline upon her journey to the pocket dimension.

Within Coraline and Alice in Wonderland, the two characters have very similiar viewpoints and influences, which will come to affect their jounries. Both of these two travel into their alternative realities due to boredom, and they do so through entering a time altering passage way. For Alice, this is the tree stump, whereas for Coraline this takes form as the door. Both of these two are also mesmerized by the sights they witness, such as talking animals in both occasions, inhuman characters, and the way their treated. Not only does this spur their excitement, but it urges them further to explore and never come home. They both come home due to fear, as Coraline escapes the Beldam and Alice is told by the Cheshire Cat to do so.

As for most of the people in this class, I relate closely to Coraline. Though there is some relation to Alice, I for one am not as dull-witted as her. I believe that sometimes I dissapear into my own imaginary world, I'm more like Coraline as well because I always wander around aimlessly looking for something fun to do. Once I find something fun I always get lost in it and lose focus on what I was trying to get done beforehand.

In Alice in Wonderland they're both female characters who seem to have nothing better to do for which they fall into an imaginary world. Coraline has short navy blue colored hair along with brown eyes. Alice is the epitome of a dumb blonde with light blonde hair and blue eyes. The cinematography style for Alice in Wonderland seems to be rather old fashioned mainly because it was made decades ago. On the other hand Coraline is made with a newer animation style decorated for a younger audience. The music of Coraline seems to be rather fast paced, darker toned music as Alice in Wonderland has joyful tunes and happy swaying songs.
