ParaNorman Review
Through horror film conventions and a generally humorous tone, ParaNorman explores the relationship between the accepted and the outsider. In more ways than one, it’s the outsider who has the answers in this fantasy tale that does so many things right and only a few things wrong. While it might not win over some, ParaNorman is all the better for its defiance to what we’re used to in mainstream animation. It’s occasionally on-the-nose about its message of tolerance, acceptance, and forgiveness, but it remains poignant in this mostly enchanting tale.
