THE SNOW GLOBE

The Detroit Zoo snow globe becomes an important aspect throughout the entire movie. It’s one of the first things Coraline unpacks in the new house, and later on, Coraline’s real mom and dad get trapped inside of it. It seems like just a regular snow globe of a fountain from the Detroit Zoo, but it has a bit more factual detail to it than that.
The Horace H. Rackham Memorial Fountain is located at the very center of the Detroit Zoo. The fountain features two bronze bears that stand tall at ten feet high, making for an incredibly large fountain that pours water into a seventy-five-thousand-gallon pool. The fountain has become a well-known landmark within the zoo. When you look closely at the snow globe Coraline has, the fountain is a replica of the real-life zoo fountain, bears included.  The bears disappear when Coraline saves her parents. Afterward, Coraline’s mom ends up blaming Coraline for “breaking” the snow globe.

BOBINSKY MEDAL

How audiences know Mr. Bobinsky is Russian not only has to do with his accent, but the medal that he proudly wears on his shirt. Even while wearing a dirty tank top, Mr. Bobinsky still has his medal all shiny and pinned to his chest. This medal isn’t your run of the mill badge, though. It’s a medal given to the nuclear clean-up team after the Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster in 1986. Mr. Bobinsky’s medal even says “ Participant in the Clean-Up Campaign ” and has the image of a drop of blood on it. The blood drop has three lines, with each line representing a certain type of radiation. It is the only medal that was given out to participants of a nuclear clean-up. The film’s creators have said that Mr. Bobinsky is blue due to being outside in the cold all the time. That being said, due to being exposed to radiation for such a long time during the clean-up, this could also explain his skin color (in an animated world, anyway), as well as his desire for eating raw beets.

THE WHITE WITCH - JADIS - IS NOT FROM NARNIA

Queen Jadis was the sole surviving resident and the self-declared final Queen of Charn. She was an extremely powerful sorceress, and was once the most infamous ruler of Narnia. Originally from the *World of Charn, she was accidentally brought to the World of Narnia on the day of its creation. Although she was banished to the North by the Great Lion, Aslan, she returned 900 Narnian-years later, and usurped the throne from the original royal family of Narnia. As a curse upon her Narnian subjects, she began the Long Winter, magically forcing Narnia into a hundred-year state of frozen snow and ice, which lasted all through her reign, thus earning her the title, the " White Witch ".  Her tyranny eventually evoked the Narnians into a triumphant uprising known as the Winter Revolution .  *WORLD OF CHARN Charn <img src="https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/narnia/images/2/28/Royalcharn.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/205?cb=2012052814...
