ParaNorman
In the town of Blithe Hollow, Norman Babcock can speak to the dead, but no one other than his eccentric new friend believes his ability is real. One day, Norman's eccentric uncle tells him of a ritual he must perform to protect the town from a curse cast by a witch centuries ago. From TMDB

unlabelledView post →look at this official Paranorman model used in the making of the movie, which we got at a garage sale for 30 bucks. previously owned by the Penny Arcade guys for some reason??? so i have no fucking idea how we ended up with it
unlabelledView post →ParaNorman is returning to theaters this Halloween, newly remastered for RealD 3D and 2D formats, for a one-week engagement.
unlabelledView post →Paranorman is such a classic Halloween movie. Gets everything I loved about Halloween cartoon specials as a kid and rolls it up into a beautiful movie visually and thematically
unlabelledView post →no that's ParaNorman Parasocial is the bong joon ho movie where that poor family all scammed their way into jobs
unlabelledView post →I was watching ParaNorman on Roku, and the closed captions just misidentified John Carpenter's Halloween movie theme as the Friday the 13th theme, and I could *feel* cartoon plumes of peeved steam come out of my ears.
unlabelledView post →trying to watch a spooky movie i’ve never seen everyday in October! 10/01: ParaNorman (Fell, Butler, 2006) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
unlabelledView post →PARANORMAN is back with a new trailer for the remastered 3D theatrical re-release on October 25. The film will be accompanied by PARANORMAN: THE THRIFTING, a CG-animated short with Finn Wolfhard and Anna Kendrick.
unlabelledView post →Worst part is even their blandest movie is still good(Missing Link I think, fun and visually stunning but just okay). Kubo is their current magnum opus but I think their best movie overall is ParaNorman.
unlabelledView post →LAIKA's (Coraline, ParaNorman, BoxTrolls) new stop-motion animated film "Wildwood" comes to theaters on October 23 through Fathom Events.
unlabelledView post →About the film ParaNorman I went to see this movie knowing nothing about it other than the title. I didn't even know the genre, let alone the trailer. Action? Comedy? A love story? But the person who recommended this movie to me was a trustworthy person, so I went to the theater without any worries.
unlabelledView post →So glad I caught this in theaters for the 3D re-release. Paranorman is one of those films that's always spoken personally to me as an autistic person, since the entire film ultimately is about prejudice and simply listening & getting alongside those different than you. Laika can do no wrong 💚
unlabelledView post →Took some screen grabs from the movie. Lakia is probably my favorite Studio, NGL. The sheer volume of artistry that goes into their productions keeps me coming back for every movie release. Everything they make looks gorgeous. I particularly love the asymmetry used in this movie. #ParaNorman

unlabelledView post →Paranorman is such a good movie, depriving a kid of it because of your stupid religion is just pathetic.

Every single film he’s worked on has turned out great. And there’s not many people you can say that statement about! #dop #cinematography #isleofdogs #fantasticmrfox

unlabelledView post →Extended family movie night in the airbnb. Keeping the real spooky stuff for later, so we're watching an absolute modern classic with Paranorman. We've seen this many times as a family and it literally never gets old. Funny as heck, beautiful stop motion and a lot of heart. #filmsky #horrorsky
unlabelledView post →Nah, go full PG horror/spooky movie. Have the kids experience the same type of horror we've experienced as kids with The Monster House, Coraline, Paranorman, and so on. Heck even when we played the first Luigi's Mansion game lol
unlabelledView post →If you have the opportunity to see your fave films in theaters, that you didn’t get to see in theaters when they released - GO!!!! I saw ParaNorman in theaters tonight & hearing the score that way + seeing it on the big screen with the new short was so special. Somehow, I love that film even more!
unlabelledView post →For real it was such an honor & delight to interview Chris Butler (writer & director of ParaNorman)! The movie is rereleasing with a new CGI short film, so please go check it out! 😍👻 (Yes I put on a Coraline sweater for the occasion)
unlabelledView post →The first trailer for Travis Knight and Laika's Wildwood teases a stop-motion dark fantasy adventure based on Colin Meloy's books. The film from the studio behind ParaNorman and Coraline arrives in cinemas later this year. Watch it here: www.empireonline.com/movies/news/...
unlabelledView post →Spooktober film 23 Paranorman ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A beautiful film with a good message and deep plot buried under all the comedy and stop motion. A nice hearted film for halloween month The design of the zombies especially are a work of art! Who else is a fan of laika?
unlabelledView post →161. ParaNorman (dirs. Fell, Butler, 2012). Studio LAIKA's best, I'd say. I mean, beforehand it was... a certain other movie, but the guy whose book it was based on turned out to be a monster, and I'd feel so damn awkward promoting that, so, silver nets gold! It's a great movie, in any case.
unlabelledView post →Pickles is turning 9 tomorrow. It's been a rough year but at least we got him some cool presents related to his favorite movie (ParaNorman) and show (Amazing World of Gumball). He really wants to play Among Us in Real Life so I have to arrange a party as soon as I have the spoons.

unlabelledView post →Tonight is a fun comfort film, ParaNorman.
unlabelledView post →ParaNorman is a fantastic film that is too often overlooked. I'm pretty sure everybody already knows how great Kubo is.
unlabelledView post →Why not a kids horror movie tho? Coraline is great, Paranorman, Monster House
unlabelledView post →There are three things I love about the opening to ParaNorman: 1. On top of a brilliant logo joke, the film opening with a laughably terrible horror film. 2. The room being kept in dim light to make Grandma's ghostly appearance less noticeable. 3. Grandma delivering the film's message.

unlabelledView post →Tonight’s spooky movie is ‘ParaNorman.’ I say it every year, but this is such an underrated and beautiful film. I wish this movie had been around when I was a preteen/teenager.
unlabelledView post →jokes aside, technically we started with The Addams Family. But I didn't truly feel the season until we rewatched ParaNorman in the theatre. What a great autumnal film

unlabelledView post →This is actually shown to be the case in ParaNorman, a really good movie. The undead are the people who sentenced witches to die but the movie makes clear they really did think she was a witch. Great film.
unlabelledView post →Day 179 of recommending an animated film day for a full year. Today is my 227th favourite, ”Paranorman”. A fantastic introduction to light scares in this tightly scripted stop motion gem. A socially outcast bullied boy prefers the company of the dead. It helps to know Bertrand the tropes they…

unlabelledView post →Tonight’s spooky feature is ‘ParaNorman.’ One of my favorite Laika films, and definitely a movie I wish was around when I was a kid.
unlabelledView post →I rewatched ParaNorman last night and I forgot how much that movie absolutely delights me. I can’t believe we get another Laika film in a couple of weeks and it’s gonna be their best one yet.

unlabelledView post →I feel like this is something I really love and if you got me on a different day, I'd be able to think of more of them. PARANORMAN does basically do this; it goes from zombie movie to a Very different movie.
unlabelledView post →Just saw a trailer for the new Laika movie and ya know what I'm realizing... I REALLY need to sit down and watch their films. Like I've only seen Coraline and ParaNorman. Definitely gotta catch up.
unlabelledView post →I remember in Paranorman, when the teenage girl asked the teenage guy out to a movie, the guy said sure. He then suggested that she should meet his boyfriend because he likes movies. The woman behind me said, "well that sucks."
unlabelledView post →"ParaNorman is the first animated film to feature a gay character". That's a lie. My boy @ralphbakshi.bsky.social had gay characters in his movies decades before ParaNorman.
unlabelledView post →Okay, but it should be a horror movie for kids though. Give me ParaNorman but with Luigi.
