Paranorman on 3D, Blu-ray, and DVD

In the holiday craziness I forgot to share with you the PARANORMAN was released to home video! This cute stop-motion animation movie is now available in a Blu-ray 3D combo pack, a Blu-ray combo pack, or DVD, there’s one for every family’s needs (although I suggest getting the 3D version – 3D TV’s are so reasonably priced now and you’ll have the disc for future use).

PARANORMAN may not be for everyone. There are some scary scenes, sexual innuendo, some language, and some intense situations. It’s perfect for the tween, teens and adults and gives you chance to talk about bullying, feeling different, and loneliness. All things kids suffer with.

The star of the film is Norman, an 11-year old misfit in middle-school. As if that age isn’t hard enough, he has the ability to talk to ghosts. In that world, he’s popular; but in the real world he’s relentlessly taunted by bullies.

The characters are quirky and the movie has themes of friendship and teamwork, but they’re wrapped up with zombies, ghost, gloom and doom. The 3D adds to and enhances the creepiness of the film and didn’t distract from the beauty of the film. This 3D fits perfectly.

The film is beautifully done and humorous in a very dark way. It’s from the makers of [amazon_link id=”B002SEQ8ZC” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Coraline [/amazon_link]– if that’s a film you loved, then this is one you’ll want to own for sure.

RATED:  PG for scary action and images, thematic elements, some rude humor and language.
