I love this movie so much

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

best movie i've ever seen.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

The first time I watched this film was in 2015 when I was baby-sitting my neighbours 3 sons who were all below the age of 13 years. We were watching it late at night and the film itself had some scary scenes and even the zombies were scary. To be honest it wasn't too far off the style of Scooby Too, but it was a little more realistic. What made it more realistic was the animation. The animations were fantastic and made the theme of the movie more engaging. The paranormal theme is somewhat unknown to the vast majority of human beings, that is also part of the reason why the film is scary. However, I loved how moving the story-line. The cast was voiced really nicely and Norman was given a bashful, brave, cute and hyper-sensitive awareness of others (hence his ability to see ghosts/spirits, paranormal activity). I love the story-line itself and how the whole issues was based on real history. It was cool of the writer to explore a broader social issue. It was somewhat an education for watchers. It moved me to the point of tears. Essentially, the original soundtrack was beautifully moving and fun, the characters were casted well, funny scenes, fabulous craftsmanship in the animations and great story!

"There's nothing wrong with being scared, Norman, so long as you don't let it change who you are." Going into the stop-motion animated family film Paranorman, I didn't expect the movie to have such a strong, relatable message. At most I assumed it would be two things: juvenile and entirely light-hearted. However, I was pleasantly surprised as I was swept up into the humorous adventure lead by young Norman and the kids that got caught up with him. The characterization in Paranorman is excellent—the characters each have unique personalities, and the combination of their personalities is perfect for not only comedy, but also interesting relationships and a journey you can't help but enjoy. The striking animation of Paranorman adds even more personality to the film. It was animated by stop-motion, using full-color 3D printers to create a wide variety of facial expressions for the characters. The quirky animation is very detailed, down to the glossy, viscous saliva on the tongue of a decaying corpse. Directed by Chris Butler and Sam fell, known for hit animated films Coraline and Flushed Away respectively, Paranorman has characters voiced by stars such as Anna Kendrick, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, and John Goodman. Overall, Paranorman is an excellent choice for anyone looking for an eccentric film with congenial characters and striking animation. I loved this movie from start to finish, and I give it ten out of ten stars!

I really enjoy animation and animated films (especially stop motion) because the artwork is out of this world, but in a lot of cases they fall short on the writing and original plot work. Unfortunately this is the case with ParaNorman.That being said, the environment, puppet work, and special effects are superb throughout this movie.Where the movie draws you in with quirks, family drama, and a misunderstood outcast protagonist, it strays too often into ludicrous comedy that breaks the tension. The main story, however, is fulfilling and makes this well worth the watch even though there are flaws, and clichés all the way through.

ParaNorman (2012) is possibly one of the best animated halloween movies for all ages that you can find and it sure is in my own list. With plenty of virtuous and classic horror elements from the beginning until the end, the movie as a whole is a little dramatic yet quite an amusing adventure. Everything in this movie is carefully and beautifully crafted. Each of the distinct characteristics of the characters are usually funny but they are also charming and endearing in their own ways. All these, cordially invite us to live a Norman life in the claymation world which is a reflection of our reality but the true fear in this film is fear itself, not the curse of the witch or the resurrection of the dead.It's true that people often make mistakes when they are afraid or lost as they have decided to do and said terrible things during those circumstances and although unpleasant things such as bullies, assumptions and accusations cannot be completely avoided, there will still always someone out there for every one of us; we just have to have faith. Biggest lesson from this movie? It's okay to be weird, abnormal, whatever the society thinks as long we are true to ourselves and we do not harm another soul. And, we must never take our loved ones for granted. Remember that trust, patience and communication are equally important. #Weirdwins!
