help ParaNorman FAQ
Why does Norman Babcock see ghosts in ParaNorman?
Norman is the only kid in Blithe Hollow who can openly speak with the dead, including his grandmother. That ability makes him the target of bullying, but it also lets him understand the 300-year-old witch's curse threatening the town.
Is ParaNorman connected to Coraline or The Boxtrolls?
It is not a story sequel, but it is part of Laika's stop-motion film run after Coraline and before The Boxtrolls. ParaNorman was released in 2012 and was directed by Sam Fell and Chris Butler.
What made ParaNorman's animation unusual for a stop-motion movie?
Laika used full-color 3D printing for replacement faces, which was a major step beyond the black-and-white printed faces used on Coraline. That allowed Norman and the other puppets to show a much wider range of expressions frame by frame.
Is ParaNorman more scary or more kid-friendly?
It mixes zombie-movie imagery with a family-friendly story about bullying, fear, and empathy. The film is rated PG in the United States and runs about 105 minutes.
