ParaNorman is a humorously spooky 3D stop-motion adventure about Norman, a misunderstood boy living in a small town.
He’s picked on at school and his family doesn’t understand him at all, but he does have friends, ghostly friends. He can talk to the dead!
And now he has to save his town from zombies unleashed by an ancient curse.
With a touch of spookiness, extraordinary stop-motion animation and a whole lot of silliness and heart, this movie is bound to leave audiences smiling.
See the new Focus Features film ParaNorman in theaters now! Rated PG.

‘Mary and Max’ is my favorite stop motion animation. Created by the unique mind of Adam Elliot, the story of two pen pals always makes me cry. It has also inspired me to write to a few people from all over the world! Everything about the movie is just brilliant. I was immersed the whole time.

Morgaine says
This movie looks super cute! I can’t wait to see it!
Jenners says
How much is a “touch” of spookiness? My 7-almost-8-year-old doesn’t do good with scary movies … even comedic ones. I might have to “preview” this one before he sees it or it is Nightmare or I Can’t Get To Sleep City.
Davis says
I saw on another blog she recommended it or ten and over…at least, and it depends on the kid, of course,

I REALLY want to see Paranorman & think it would be my favorite stop action! My son went this weekend and watched it and loved it with his cousins and I’m a lil sad I didn’t get to go with them for being at work. This came at the right time with the zombie craze that’s going on and not suitable for children so it gives them something cool to watch!
