There have been some extremely entertaining animated movies released this year, Admittedly most of them have been sequels, but they are still funny and entertaining none the less. This autumn see's two gothic and spooky cartoons being released, Tim Burton's Frankenweenie; and this film, Paranorman. A stop-motion film about a boy with an incredible, yet unbelievable, gift; a gift he must use to save his town, family and tiny amount of friends.

Neil & Norman(Albrizzi & Smit-McPhee) |
Written by Chris Butler, the script for ParaNorman is warm, endearing and genuinly funny; aswell as having a beautiful underlying lesson of accepting yourself and others for your quirks and differences. With a batch of zany characters, including Norman's tubby sidekick Neil (Albrizzi), and his judgmental teenage sister Courtney (Kendrick), there is plent of variety to keep your attention.

Thanks to the superbly magical stop-motion (that'll make your eyes glitter and shine) and a wonderfully entertaining script, ParaNorman is a real success. There are many treats for both the eyes and the ears, and I wholly reccomend you and your family go and experience them together.
