    G-S-T Review…ParaNorman

    In the vein of iconic monster/adventure properties like The Monster Squad, Scooby-Doo even The Iron Giant comes Laika’s follow-up to their hit film Coraline. ParaNorman, is a fantastically intricate stop-motion (or “stop-frame” to you film fans in the UK) animated film that follows Norman, a young boy who is more than a little obsessed with the macabre…he can actually see and communicate with ghosts. He takes it all in stride but is most definitely an outcast but like all great outcasts, he’s destined to save the day because of his eccentricities. It’s a common story but from the mind of Chris Butler, this more or less familiar theme is spun just enough and is ‘wonky’ enough…

    Video Interview…’ParaNorman’ Writer/Co-Directors Chris Butler & Sam Fell

    In Laika‘s follow-up to their animated hit film Coraline, comes the similarly unique and oddball adventure ParaNorman; the storyabout a boy (voiced by Kodi Smit-McPhee) who’s able to speak with the dead, and must to save his small town from a centuries-old curse. The brainchild of Chris Butler, he and co-director Sam Fell bring the delightfully dreary and phantasmically funny film ParaNorman to life and in Stereoscopic 3D! Go,See,Talk got the chance to sit with both Butler and Fell to talk about their “stop-frame” film. We discuss its development (a dizzying 16 years in the making), its distinctive look, and more. Enjoy!   A misunderstood boy who can speak with the dead, takes on ghosts, zombies and grown-ups to save…

    Ohhh, Look…Mondo's 'ParaNorman' Posters

    This week we’ll see the release of Laika Animation’s stop-frame film ParaNorman. A mix of John Hughes meets John Carpenter, this 80’s styled throw-back from Chris Butler and Sam Fell is bound to tickle your funny bone if you love all things creepy, kooky, mysterious and spooky. One of a couple stop motion animated films left in 2012, this looks highly original all kinds of fun (having seen it, we can vouch for it on both counts). To get us closer to ParaNorman, which hits theaters this weekend, Mondo has released the digital versions of the posters they had printed up a few weeks ago. Here are 3 of the better ones,…

    Ohhh, Look…Featurette for Sam Fell and Chris Butler's 'ParaNorman'

    Next month, Sam Fell and Chris Butler’s ParaNorman will be hitting theaters. These days a stop-motion animated feature, outside the likes of Aardman Animation, is a rare thing to find. Why? Well because of just how long it takes to produce; something like a week’s worth of prep work and staging just to get 4-6 seconds of screen time. Well, Fell and Butler’s tenacity have endured and ParaNorman (Laika Studio’s follow-up to Coraline) looks to be as intricate as you’d expect in this medium. Have a look at the following time-lapse featurette which takes a breezy look at the intricacy required to bring just one character to life. Enjoy! Norman (voiced by Kodi Smit-McPhee), a boy…
