ParaNorman! I loved ParaNorman! So hard! Yaaaaaaaaay!
No, seriously, it’s great. I’ve been excited since I heard Laika was making more 3D goodness and ParaNorman does not disappoint. I fell in love with their work after Coraline and I’m pretty much as excited about the things they do as I am about Pixar. Which is saying something.
I mean, even the poster art that was plastered all over the businesses in my neighborhood is wonderful.
Like this one:
Or this one:
And all of them.
And then you can watch this about how they made a lamp:
I love them.
Beyond all of the fun, awesome animation and 3D and art work, the movie itself is really, really fun. I maybe liked Coraline a bit more, but I’m also a Gaiman fan and all of that. But ParaNorman is great.
It’s a fabulous looking movie with a good story, loveable characters, and more than a few tricks up its sleeve. I also don’t say this often, but I totally recommend the 3D. Laika did it with Coraline and they do it again with ParaNorman, they make a 3D movie that I actually want to see in 3D. Not only want to see, but am excited to see.
Check out their ParaNorman website too. There are lots of fun things to explore. I spent a ton of time just playing around with it.
In conclusion. ParaNorman = Fun. In case you didn’t get that point the first twenty times I said it.
