"You think just because there are bad people that there are no good ones either? I thought the same thing for a while. But there's always someone out there for you. Somewhere." Norman Babcock
I remember being quite pleased while leaving the cinema, though at this point, some plot details have entirely escaped my memory, which is such a shame. The film itself is done well. The animation is fun and edgy to look at without being a Tim Burton rip off. I love when stories establish their own history and superstitions. Those established in ParaNorman are done so well that rooting the plot entirely in them isn’t lost on the audience at all. Information is shared when necessary so as to not be overwhelming, regularly enough to keep viewers in the loop, yet there’s still some mystery left for you to play along. One of my absolute favorite things about this film is the openly homosexual male who is not stereotypically homosexual! Not only that, but the reactions of other characters to his sexuality are not at all along the lines of disgust, surprise or humor. It was incredibly tasteful and a good way to show younger viewers especially that being homosexual is completely acceptable and normal.
