Norman is a boy who can speak to the dead, but no one except his bizarre friend, Neil believes him. Then he is told by his uncle of an annual ritual that he must take up to save the town from a witches curse. Norman decides to collaborate but things don't go exactly to plan. Now a witch curses the town as the dead rise from the grave. Now Norman and a group of friends struggle to save the town, only to come across who the witch really is.
What a bad name title! ParaNorman. Just from looking at the poster or trailer just puts me off the film. On the whole the plot is rushed and undeveloped. So was the moral which was also obvious and cheesy. The humour was unentertaining and somewhat tedious. Despite the animation being quite good (I like this type of animation) it looked quite rushed and on the whole not as good as other animations such as The Pirates or The Nightmare before Christmas. Also the end of the film was just so boring. It was a bit like "Okay, moving on now". And just overall the film was rushed, unentertaining, cheesy and tedious.
