Notable Moment in Coraline

The moment that stood out to me the most in Coraline was when she made the decision to save her parents and reasoned the risk by calling to mind the time her father saved her from the wasps despite the dangers.  He sacrificed himself by telling Coraline to run away and allowing her to be free from the stings he got.  She used this expression of love to rationalize her act of bravery, facing her fears to save her parents that love her.
