PARANORMAN [2012]

From Chris Butler & Sam Fell (some of the guys who worked on Coraline & Corpse Bride) comes ParaNorman another beautiful looking stop motion animated film made to appeal to little monster in all of us.
With a sick, yet safe, sense of humour, killer dialogue, entertaining voice-work, zany music and extravagantly designed sets, ParaNorman is must-see for the big screen.  It intelligently goes against what we expect from such a film and is surprisingly touching.
Its' been awhile since death has been this much fun.

I would have to agree with my gf's one word review of "cute" but it definitely had something more for the horror crowd. It's too bad more in-jokes like Norman's ringtone didn't make it in.
