Review
'PARANORMAN' had a lot of strength and affection and trust me, this isn't about a heroic tale about a boy who can save ghosts. This movie is driven by masterful storytelling and a meaningful theme about a young boy not fitting with his peers and being an social outcast because he speaks to the dead and for this, he is bullied by other kids and his family doesn't seem to understand his gift. I find that few of the laughs are subtlety somewhat appealing to the adults and it may seem very scary to the young audiences.
Trust me, I don't know how clear of thinking about 'PARANORMAN' and it seems like the great animated feature. It nearly pulls the ranks of the other great horror-themed family flicks like Tim Burton's 'A Nightmare Before Christmas' and 'Coraline'.
Star rating: (4/5) Good Movie
