Finally.
4 movies into the New Year, and I have finally found a movie I can recommend as being worth seeing!
ParaNorman
The Story:
Norman is a boy who can see Dead People. Naturally, this doesn't sit well with most of the citizens in town, and heck, even his family, and poor Norman is a bit of an outcast. Of course, when the town's curse comes back to haunt them as it has every year for centuries, it's up to Norman to save the day.
But is he up to the task?
Okay, first and foremost, this is not an animated film. It's a claymation/stop motion movie. The characters and their look will either annoy you the whole time, or they'll grow on you.
Other than that, the movie was a blast.
A wonderful story filled with ghosts, zombies and witches, well, what's not to love with fun for the whole family like that? It's a scary kids movie that really isn't scary at all.
There might be a few tense parts for the youngest viewers, but most kids over 8 have probably seen much worse already.
The entire film itself is well written and very amusing throughout.
Aside from the very recognizable voice of John Goodman, most of the voice-work is not distracting from the overall film.
Really enjoyed it, and would have to give it a 4 or a 5 on the Netflix 5 star scale.
Call it 4.5 and I hope you enjoy it!
