In only the second ever stop-motion film to be shot in 3D Norman must battle to protect the town of Blithe Hollow from the encroaching undead.
Overview
Nominated for Best Animated Film at the Academy Awards and BAFTAs, 3D stop-motion comedy, Paranorman, sees a misunderstood local boy thrown into a mad-cap fight with besieging zombies.
Norman (Kodi Smit-McPhee) is considered weird in his small town home of Blithe Hollow, and no one, save for his new found friend, Neil (Tucker Albrizzi), believes his supernatural ability of being able to talk to the dead is genuine.
All that begins to change when his eccentric uncle tells him of an important annual ritual he must take up in order to protect the town from a curse cast on it by a witch centuries ago. But, once he decides to use his gift to help, things go badly wrong and the dead begin to rise. Norman must struggle to save Blithe Hollow, and discover the horrific truth behind the curse.
Written for children this beautifully animated tale may prove too scary for the little ones, but it’ll entertain younger teens, and leave their parents with something to think about.
