ParaNorman

ParaNorman (2012)
Directed by Chris Butler and Sam Fell

I fell in love with this movie the first time I saw its trailer. Especially this part:


What's not to love about a nerdy kid who can see ghosts and has a healthy obsession with zombies?

The best thing about the film, though, is its message. The film isn't really about fighting zombies, curses, and a scary witch, it is about acceptance and the importance of respecting everybody, no matter how different they are from you. If Norman could save his town from certain destruction by showing that kind of acceptance, just imagine how much of a difference we could make in real life if we did the same.

(Sorry for such a short review... This one was difficult for me to write and I don't know why. As always, if you any thoughts you'd like to discuss, leave a comment below!)
