Jonathan F Paranorman is keenly aware of the Zombie genre. Laika is enormously talented but the film doesn't come off as clever, it merely comes off as a series of cliches. Too bad. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/11/25 Full Review Anna L I’m sorry but to add such a complex and deep storyline such as the witch trials, into a kids movie, while still taking care that the plot was both enjoyable and understandable for a kids movie. was and keeps being impressive Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/11/25 Full Review Leon Y i think this film is pretty good in my opinion. it has it's flaws sure like the comedy can be weak sometimes and forced but despite it's imperfections, i found it enjoyable and my favourite part of the movie is Agatha because she is just a little girl who was wrongfully executed for "witchcraft" And i used to watch this film when i was a kid. so 8/10 Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/25 Full Review Jorge R ParaNorman is scary and sometimes bizarre. But hey, I had really good laughs forms this. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/09/25 Full Review Tyler P While the characters models are not as "aesthetically pleasing" here as they were in Coraline, they are just as visually striking, in a film with a riveting plot. The true place that ParaNorman stands toe to toe and the one facet where it may beat it's predecessor is it's amazing sense of humor. While Coraline is a movie I occasionally watch all year round, ParaNorman I only watch at Halloween and in the fall, but I INSIST on watching it, and Halloween season isn't over until I do. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/11/24 Full Review Jay W "ParaNorman" is Liaka Studio's second major film. It didn't receive the same critical nor box office success of their previous film, "Coraline". But "ParaNorman" remains an all-time great Halloween film. The movie has more of a harsh edge compared to most animated films. Keep that in mind when I say that this film is a good time for viewers of all ages. Liaka Studios continues to raise the bar in showing what the medium of stop motion can do. The tone of the story matches the style of the animation perfectly. Everything is just the right bit off. The voice acting is spot on, all characters have voices that match their characters perfectly. The music is well used, pumping up the excitement one scene, and giving the characters time to breath in another. The ending was something that took some getting used to. I appreciate the fact that it leaves the audience with something to think about. But admittedly, I don't love the ending. Without giving anything away, they take an odd detour as they approach the finale. If you are looking for a good family friendly animated horror film, then I recommend this ParaNorman activity.
