Review For ParaNorman
Paranorman has a unique look that's equal parts old school and cutting edge. Richard Roeper-Richard Roeper.com The film avoids the pandering of many animated features, bringing an acerbic edge and a thrilling intelligence to its story. Bruce Diones-New Yorker "ParaNorman" took a huge risk on a scarier concept, and it paid off enormously. Amanda Mae Meyncke-Film.com "ParaNorman" is never less than entertaining, but you'll have to follow it into a strange purgatory between two opposing genres. Rafer Guzman-Newsday If the story lacks the consistent psychological depth of Coraline, another tale of an outcast finding solace in a parallel world, amends are made during the lovely climax. Rick Groen-Globe and Mail Chances are most kids, and most adults, will find "Paranorman" perfectly horrible in the best possible way. Tom Long-Detroit News I still liked ParaNorman and it deserves to be seen for its wit and the work of its passionate animators. Matthew Toomey-ABC Radio Brisbane Bristling with energy, here's a delectable 3D film that's inventive, funny, devilishly ghoulish, loaded with splendid effects and a heartfelt story at its core Louise Keller-Urban Cinefile Funny, frightening, exciting and extremely thoughtful about the nature of the conflict at the core of the film, ParaNorman is a standout feature animation. Thomas Caldwell-Cinema Autopsy Norman (Kodi Smit-McPhee) loves zombie movies, monster movies, and all other kinds of movies about dead people, the grosser and gooier the better. Cynthia Fuchs-Time to Play Magazine The inner horror fan is accessed via the child inside in this quirky stop-motion animation treat Cameron Williams-The Popcorn Junkie Like its hero, this smart, funny and beautifully animated film achieves great things by daring to be different. Andy Lea-Daily Star Charming stop-motion lumps chase a witch Marty Mapes-Movie Habit For moviegoers who tend to look down their nose at horror films, ParaNorman offers proof positive that the genre that gets us screaming can also have real substance. Jason Buchanan-TV Guide's Movie Guide ...this is truly edgy for children's fare. Adam Ross-The Aristocrat It's probably a tad too scary for really small humans, but anyone from seven upwards will find ParaNorman's adventures firmly stick in their braaaiiinnns. Jayne Nelson-SFX Magazine Paranorman proves that Laika Entertainment has some great talent, great ideas, and a bright future telling dark tales about uplifting and insightful life lessons. Kofi Outlaw-ScreenRant Dismal, yet profound and pungent... [M]ake[s] its points in ways more sharp and brutal than other 'children's' films... MaryAnn Johanson-Flick Filosopher A savvy, intelligent, well-crafted animated horror comedy for kids should also appeal to adult horror fans as well. Ken Hanke-Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) ... not so much creepy as simply unpleasant ... Jim Lane-Sacramento News & Review A kids' film horror fans can sink their teeth into... Niki Boyle-The List Kids will be very frightened and then end up sympathetic to zombies. Philip French-Observer [UK] An exceptional Amblin film made for that slightly weird kid with the Nightmare Before Christmas lunch-box and the disconnected snark. Simon Gallagher-Film School Rejects Anyone who's robust enough to enjoy Roald Dahl will surely appreciate ParaNorman's playfully PG undead action. Tara Brady-Irish Times A few decent gags are not enough to keep this 3D stop-motion film alive. Alex Zane-Sun Online There's no meat on the bone of this skeleton. Witty and fast-paced, sure, but the film lacks substance. Chris Blohm-Little White Lies
