"Paranorman" Movie Review ( A Favorite)


PARANORMAN

"An Animated Thrill ride of EPIC Proportions!"

"Ghoulish fun for the whole family!"

From the film makers of 'Caroline' Comes the story of Norman, a boy who must use his ability to see and speak with the dead to save his town from centuries-old curse. 

In addition to spooky Zombies, he'll also have to take on mysterious ghosts, wily witches, and worst of all, clueless grown-ups.  But this young ghoul whisperer will soon find his paranormal abilities pushed to their other-worldly limits. Featuring the voices of Kodi Smit-McPhee, Anna Kendick, Casey Affleck, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Leslie Mann, Jeff Garlin and John Goodman, it's frightfully funny and magically thrilling for the whole family in eye-popping stop-motion. 


This is a Boy different from others... obsessed with zombies - sees and talks to the ghosts of dead people... destined to bring down a witch of the years past that was hanged by the town council and she  comes back once a year to raise the dead and raise havoc in his town.
But there is a good story behind it and  a few good lessons to be learned. One being not to be so quick to judge someone or not like someone just because you don't understand them or how they are different from you. It can cause more hurt than you may think. 
But besides that it had me and my whole family cracking up over and over watching Norman go through the ups and owns of his family thinking he is crazy, a snobby teenage sister, bullies at school, a dork he befreinds, all while running form the zombies  ( and I can't leave out the Uncle! He is the icing on this zombie cake! You will know what I am talking about if you watch this for yourself). We have watched I bet 20 times or more and it's just as funny every time. 
You need to get this movie .. kids - adults - everyone will crack up and be touched all at the same time.
