He later drowns as the pond and eventually, the rest of the garden transforms into lifeless stone.īooks An excerpt from the main article: Coraline (books) He meets his end after he destroys the bridge leading to the garden and falls through it into the water, he frees his hand by breaking the mechanical hand, and hands Coraline the first eye, (which was actually disguised as the top of the lever on his preying mantis) he accidentally slips through the opening that he made of the bridge, and falls into the water. Interestingly, at this point in the film, we see that the Other Father truly did not want to harm Coraline (stating this as he attacks her) being forced by the Other Mother to do so via the mechanical hands attached to his. When Coraline sets out to find the the three ghost children's eyes, the Other Father attacks her while atop his mechanical preying mantis-like gardening machine in the Fantastic Garden. This was apparently his punishment for telling Coraline too much. Later on in the film, the Other Father turns into a pumpkin-like human (this was hinted when the beldam said he was as hungry as a pumpkin) with the face in a permanent frown with a monster-like voice and barely capable of speech. It is hinted throughout the film that he is terrified of the Other Mother, doing as she says and obeying her every command.
