ParaNorman - Limited Edition Steelbook 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray [4K UHD]

By far the best detailed stop motion animation ever made. Yes. Way way better than nightmare before Christmas. Funny, entertaining and emotional. Can't say enough good things. It's a great movie!

Obsessed with this movie and it gets played alot around Halloween

We live this movie great buy! If you like claymation and Halloween vibes get this movie! My boys love it.

I saw this film in the theater on the premier night in 3-D. The 3D was amazing. Not gimmicky, not just thrown in as an excuse to charge more for admission. AMAZING. I wanted to wait until I actually owned the product which is the home video release before I review. Notice verified purchase. The menu is using Universal Studies generic menu which, I am not crazy about as I like a custom menu. That aside, the BD transfer quality is top notch. You could see all the details Laika studios pays attention too like the pattern in the concrete, and the clothing the characters wore. The video quality is comparable to the theater. I want to get a 3D tv so I can watch movies like this in 3D at home.StoryA kid from a small town with a dark history is a medium, he see's dead people. He is also weird and misunderstood by everyone but his friend Neil. The story has great messages about bullying and tolerance. I don't want to spoil it, but I saw it with 4 year and 6 year old. The 6 year got the message, the 4 year old not so much. Mildly scary in some scene, but nothing an intelligent child cannont handle.VisualsLaika!, The studio that brought use Coraline and Corpse Bride. This is the best stop motion animation I have ever seen. They were hired by Tim Burton and formed their own studio. I believe the first film to utilize a 3D printer for the film. I read in the Wired article Norman alone has something like 9000 separate faces, with over 300 hand sculpted hairs. Ridiculous attention to detail. They also used an advance process for the 3D shooting multiple frames with a high end Nikkon SLR. At the theater I was blown away by the 3D. I also love the story. A modern take on issues such as bullying and tolerance.Special Features/Extra'sWill followup on this, with an update, Remember this is a Home video/ Blu Ray review not a film review.

I for one thoroughly enjoyed Paranorman! It was a beautifully, animated movie from the minds of people who are gifted in their craft to bring us this spooky (kind of), funny, heart-warming comedy of the 2012 year. I loved Paranorman because it had a lot of good morals in it.1. Mob Mentality- We see this in every society, a group of people who have stopped actually "thinking" and decided to just play "follow the leader" when throughout history it has always lead to heartbreak, destruction, mayhem, violence, and other ignorant and primitive behavior.2. Killing of the Innocence- To not go into too much detail so that I do not spoil the movie, this movie showed the importance of thinking before one acts. As many spiritual ethics like Buddhism,teaches, to not act or speak when your heart is tainted or bitter. Also, to not judge so quickly with what you are afraid of. Many human beings unfortunately suffer from being afraid of "The Unknown" which gets them into a lot of trouble for their actions. Karma is real! The Golden Rule(s) apply to all! Just because you are afraid of something does not mean that you have to act violently, or primitively upon that situation. "One must think first before they act or speak"3. ParaNorman I love this movie for all of its moral issues. I will not go into detail! I would rather have many more people watch this movie and enjoy it as I did and come away from it thinking for themselves more, because they have seen how horrid, and primitive their actions can become when one thinks that using fire against fire will work... it does not and it never will!A BIG AND HUGE THANK YOU!!!!! To everyone in the making of this film! I'm so happy you made this film and tackled some moral, and social issues that many people struggle to understand and are not exposed to all that often! Well done! I'm a huge fan of this movie! :D

Paranorman's a great movie. I had the DVD but I wanted the Blu-ray /digital for the upgraded visual quality and the convenience of digital. So I purchased the Blu-ray digital HD combo October 8th 2024 only to find out that the digital codes are expired.

The most underrated Halloween movie ever. I laughed the whole way through the movie. It's funny for all ages and I highly recommend it 👌

I loved this movie! So cute. Great lessons to learn!
