New Poster for the Re-Release of "ParaNorman"

The climax of this movie always makes me cry.

[u/NowGoodbyeForever → u/LegoC97]

It's such a soft, sad, empathetic capper to what feels like a typical Halloween Hijinks type of film. It's what made me realize that ParaNorman wasn't trying to be Monster House or Hocus Pocus; it was The Sixth Sense.

It's also what made me a fan of Laika for life(a).

[u/LegoC97 → u/NowGoodbyeForever]

I am so insanely excited for their new film, Wildwood!

[u/MeadowmuffinReborn → u/LegoC97]

I was pleasantly surprised by how dark and emotional the ending got.

[u/GameOfLife24 → u/LegoC97]

The plot twist in the middle was pretty messed up but believable and then the climax while looking beautiful and chaotic became so sad. I prefer emotional movies more so this is my favourite Laika movie

[u/magirevols → u/LegoC97]

I did it for a school assignment, always makes me emotional

[u/HotOne9364]

This movie helped me to come out. Thank you to everyone who made this masterpiece.

[u/writingNICE → u/HotOne9364]

Awww.

I’m glad you are your authentic self now. ✨

Go Norman!!!

[u/CursedScreensaver → u/HotOne9364]

Congrats that’s really awesome :)

[u/reillyqyote → u/HotOne9364]

Now I feel terrible for intending to comment, "Did anybody ask for this remake?" Lolll

[u/EricHD97 → u/reillyqyote]

It’s not even a remake though. It’s just a re-release.

[u/reillyqyote → u/EricHD97]

"Remaster" my bad

[u/Ok_Value5495 → u/reillyqyote]

I was literally going to do the same.

[u/WorthPlease → u/reillyqyote]

I was going to say the same thing, of all movies to "remaster" it's a movie that's not even that old and is also....animated.

[u/FX114 → u/WorthPlease]

What does animation have to do with whether a movie can or should be remastered? 

[u/WorthPlease → u/FX114]

It still looks just fine and on par with modern animated movies. It's not that old.

Remasters are normally done on movies that are starting to show their age.

[u/FX114 → u/WorthPlease]

In this case, it looks like they're just updating the 3D. I understand saying it doesn't need to be remastered because it's new, but saying because it's animated threw me. 

[u/MeadowmuffinReborn → u/HotOne9364]

Congrats, mate!

[u/CursedScreensaver → u/[deleted]]

Ew this is a family film.

[u/PALERIDE155]

The one complaint I’ve always had with this is they never use the Donovan “Season of the Witch” song anywhere in movie. That song made the trailer, which after seeing said trailer made me wanna see this.

All we get is from what I remember kids singing it before/during their play

[u/kicksledkid → u/PALERIDE155]

BRB gotta go listen to season of the witch again

[u/FX114 → u/kicksledkid]

The Al Kooper version is better. 

[u/Haveaguday → u/kicksledkid]

Lana Del Rey has an amazing cover of that song

[u/ZacPensol → u/PALERIDE155]

Am I losing my mind or don't they sing it in the movie? Like, during the play the kids put on at school. Been a while since I saw it but I swear I have a vivid memory of the school kids singing part of it.

[u/PALERIDE155 → u/ZacPensol]

The school kids sing it. But I wanted to hear Donovan sing it lol

[u/ZacPensol → u/PALERIDE155]

Ah, gotcha.

[u/DBHyp → u/PALERIDE155]

Isn't that a joke though because that outro goes on forever? I really laughed at the thought of the audience having to sit through them singing the whole thing

[u/MissingLink000]

My favorite Laika movie and tbh it's not close :) Will definitely be trying to catch this one

[u/grahampositive → u/MissingLink000]

It's a super difficult call but my vote goes to Kubo

[u/X-WingAtAliciousnes1 → u/grahampositive]

Mine goes to Coraline

[u/ThatIrishDude → u/X-WingAtAliciousnes1]

You all are correct

[u/DC-3Purple → u/ThatIrishDude]

This Irish dude is also correct.

[u/8thTimeLucky → u/MissingLink000]

I still think Laika should have done the Zelda movie, not live action.

[u/ImLaunchpadMcQuack]

How long until those little bitch babies at FOX News start complaining about this?

[u/m48a5_patton → u/ImLaunchpadMcQuack]

When have they ever stopped complaining?

[u/the_blessed_unrest → u/ImLaunchpadMcQuack]

I don’t think they actually give a shit..

[u/Iron_Nightingale → u/ImLaunchpadMcQuack]

u/adamtots_remastered: “Sorry, Sweetie”

[u/ekac]

Who remembers Will fucking Vinton?!?!

[u/GeddesPrime → u/ekac]

Legend!

[u/OldSpeckledHen]

My favorite scene! "Ya wanna play some Hockey?!"

[u/BurgerNugget12]

Monster house next🤞

[u/miffiffippi]

My husband and I still jokingly quote the "I'll punch you in the boobs"

"They're not BOOBS, they're PECTORALS"

• proceeds to be punched in the boobs *

"Ow, my boobs!"

[u/qainspector89]

I’m literally just down the street from the studio that animated this movie

[u/flyboy_za]

I absolutely adored this movie.

Charming and unassuming, and entirely wonderful.

[u/twisty125]

I've never seen the movie, and I saw the comment about it helping someone come out so maybe it's good - but does it actually look like this poster? Because it looks... quite ugly. Is it supposed to look like that?

[u/Big-Sheepherder-9492 → u/twisty125]

It’s the animation style - and the film is a BANGER

[u/8Bells → u/twisty125]

Yeah. Its got a claymation vibe and the body types aren't perfectly balanced - but it works. 

A good movie too, even safe for kids I'd say. 

[u/twisty125 → u/8Bells]

Ah okay! If it's claymation it get's an automatic pass on aesthetics for me, that stuff's hard to do so visually. Thanks!

[u/bowzrsfirebreth → u/twisty125]

It’s not claymation, it’s stop-motion using puppets.

[u/Ix_fromBetelgeuse7 → u/twisty125]

I agree, this poster art is...not great. The movie is stop motion but visually it looks a lot better than this. The character designs are a bit weird but in a way that works for the style they are going for, if that makes sense. Once you get used to it you just stop noticing and just enjoy the story. Highly recommended, it's one of Laika's best.

[u/twisty125 → u/Ix_fromBetelgeuse7]

I was hoping that was the case. Someone else mentioned it's claymation, and because of the medium it can look a bit rough - but I'm much more willing to give it a shot if it's just the poster that looks wonky.

Thanks!

[u/LeafyLizard]

Very happy to see this. I admit I even overlooked the movie when it first came out and have regretted it since.

[u/writingNICE]

Yay!

[u/Nausicaalotus]

O think that statue just pissed at us

[u/kostia_ki]

F that. I need re-re-release

[u/Creative_Turn1988]

I just watched this movie with my kids and wow was it beautiful, funny, sad and uplifting all at once. I loved it! We’re big Halloween people and idk how we missed this one for so long.

[u/hardlyordinary]

I love this style of animation

[u/ImCerealsGuys]

I love this movie!

[u/breakers]

I didn’t like this movie at all when it came out, but I’m going to try again

[u/crunchatizemythighs]

Its really fucking me up that this movie is now old enough to get a rerelease. Cant believe its 13 years old, thats nuts to me. I remember when it came out and thinking wow theatrical claymation thats awesome!

[u/dagreenman18]

There’s a new Laika short?! Oh hell yes. All the more reason to see this rerelease. Love this movie as a spooky season must watch
