There's a depressing theory that Agatha's mother made her daughter take the fall for her. And by Agatha's reaction it seems she has no idea that was the case. It's pretty sad.

I really appreciate when writers go "Let's make this character gay" instead of "Let's make a gay character" Same applies to pretty much everything, queer, disabled, etc

One thing you must know about Laika. When they say it's a kid's movie, it's _not_ gonna be a *_kid's movie._* just look at Coraline, and they tried to make it less scary too!

I also want to add that Norman and Agatha have even more in common because they're possibly related! Her last name is seen in a newspaper... and low and behold it is "Prenderghast", the same from Norman's uncle's side.

Funny enough, I remember seeing this movie when I was like 8 or 9. Needless to say, I have been obsessed with stop motion ever since

The bit about Aggie is the sad truth about the Salem witch trials. Girls/women as young as 6 were accused. Edit: 132 likes omg!

Laika is my all-time favorite animation studio, their work is so consistently gorgeous to watch and I always find myself having a fun time with their characters. It's not always a 100% timeless hit, but I still adore them

Laika recently celebrated 10 years since Paranorman first released. They uploaded a short of norman dancing. It was so cute.

I'd personally like to see Laika do a movie about Laika.

I remember seeing this around 8-9 years old, and I was absolutely fascinated by it. My heart sank every time I thought of Agatha and what she had to go through, and that scene where they’re in the forest and the music stops and everything is calm and slow paced honestly made me want to cry. Thanks to this movie I have a fascination/fear of stop motion animation, because of how beautiful it can be while being so terrifying.

Paranorman always gets me in the spirit for halloween. Such a cozy movie

They took "you can pry it out of my cold, dead hands.." to the next level.

Shoutout to Paranorman for having the first canonically gay character I ever saw on the screen. At least, from what I can remember lol. Forever iconic to me

Have I HEARD of PARANORMAN?? I used to aspire to work at LAIKA. I'm in love with their work.

Studio Laika always makes amazing movies and it's stop motion Mad Lads

Im pretty sure the reason the judges didn't talk to Norman right after they came back to life is because it is probably really hard for a roughing corpse that has been dead for decades to regain the ability to speak

I'm glad this channel is still up! a few channels I know were hacked and turned into crypto channels which isn't good.

The thing that I love the most about this movie is that the characters all feel very... *real.* Norman as the little brother, Courtney as the older sister, their mom and dad, Neal and his brother Mitch, Alvin the school bully... all of their personalities don't feel faked in the slightest; they all feel natural and the voice actors for them just made them sound even more natural, like these could be characters that you could imagine in real life. Even the whole setting of the school play felt very real to me. Norman's dad even kinda reminded me of my own dad, both in looks and in personality. The whole joke at the end about Mitch being gay was also really funny to me, after Courtney had flirted with him so much, and I like how they didn't do that just to earn some LGBTQ+ points from Twitter, like a lot of the movies coming out more recently do. Lately, with movies that have any characters having a race, gender, or sexual orientation being something different from the norm, it just doesn't feel natural and like they're only doing it just to pander to people that would get offended otherwise, especially if they're changing a character to be like that instead of manually creating a character like that. Take, for example, most of the _Disney_ live-action remakes. The characters in those movies end up not feeling like real people that you could imagine in real life, based on their personalities alone. But the characters in Paranorman here? You CAN. This movie really takes me back to a time when movies weren't about sending social justice messages or appealing to toxic feminists or making things too safe and kid-friendly. It wasn't afraid to portray the characters as very straightforward and typical with what you'd expect a school bully or a teenage sister to be like, and I have a lot of respect for it for that. And it _especially_ wasn't afraid with showing dark and frightening imagery. All of that wrapped neatly into a story with an important lesson of not judging people for being different... just perfect. However, if a movie NOWADAYS wanted to include a lesson of not judging someone for being different, they'd likely make the title character be a gay feminist with all the men in the movie being petty mysoginists. Like, come on. That wouldn't be enjoyable to watch at all. Long story short, _Paranorman_ is a great movie because it has its characters all being very grounded and realistic, and people might be able to relate to one or two of the characters. Characters with realistic personalities make me enjoy a movie even more, and _Paranorman_ has some of the most realistic characters I've seen in a movie to date.

I didn’t know paranorman was unpopular. I’ve seen it about three times and I love the message. I don’t think Anggie deserved suck a terrible death though- Hanging people because you think they’re weird is paranoid and messed up- poor Agatha. Wait- what happened to her Mom, though?

Yeah, I felt that scene with his uncles corpse dragged on too. That’s honestly the only scene I found really dumb.

8:44 yeah, she is. She cannot move on. She is dead, her hangmen are dead to, and she still tries to destroy the whole town as a revenge, and she hurts Norman who tries talk with her - she acts like a bully and she thinks it's okay, because she was hurt in the past.

I loved this movie the first time I saw it on TV! Another thing that could be said in this review would be how funny was the zombies reaction when they saw the modern world around them, things like television, cars or hamburguers.😂 Even the zombie judge going with the family inside the car was hilarious!

Who hasn’t heard of Paranorman is like one of my favorite movies everyone has seen it and ppl who haven’t are missing out because I’ve watched it like 1 trillion times 🤪

LAIKA plus ghosts and zombies = literally my favorite stop motion movie of all time right next to Coraline also edit: i just wanna say the reason I love LAIKA so much is because many of their movies are enjoyable even to adults, because they don't treat kids like they're idiots and you can tell they put a lot of love and effort into their movies :)

Yet again ros mo covers my favourite movies that are nostalgic to me.

You won't believe how many times I've re-watched Paranorman and Caroline.

Hearing your introduction is always a delight

the vibe switch at 20:23 tho. goes from deadpan to fully awake lol

Yes, it was my childhood since Caroline!!

My favorite character is Courtney Babcock, voiced by Anna Kendrick.

This is a cute spooky movie, i think i would have enjoyed it more if i saw it when i was younger but i still found it to be charming

HELL YEAH

Mitch's love for his car makes me laught everytime

Yo I actually love this movie, stop motion is such an amazing art form!

I saw this movie with my friends on DVD ten years ago! The scene with Norman talking Aggie down was so good, even if the "you're just like your tormenters" line didn't age well. He still managed to help her find peace in the end. (And yes, the thing I remember most is Mitch telling Courtney about his chick-flick nut boyfriend! This was back when LGBT+ themes were still a toddler and any reference was a step forward.)

great movie

I loved watching that movie when I little back then.

I agree with you Ros about Stop motion. It's a great form of animation that I have all the respect to the people who produce them. Tried it with lego in high school and discovered that I do not have the patience for it. One thing I remember from the behind the scenes of Paranorman is the scene of the towns people fighting against the zombies. That the whole scene is a mirror of typical zombie films. The small group of the undead are the "innocent" people being attacked by a violent hoard of people.

When I was maybe 4-5? I was first introduced to this movie. I loved it. I still love it

I remember going to Universal Studios Hollywood in 2012 and seeing some of the props from the film, it was interesting.

if you take suggestions, id suggest to see and talk about the Boxtrolls; another sort of 'terror-mongering/comedic' film with elements of genocide from Laika Studios. Its wonderful, just like all the other stop-motion films Laika has produced, yet criminally underrated .

I never watched paranorman!! But I do like the company how makes the stop motion animation!! And what I got from 2:07 is how Norman is basically a medium that can see the living and the dead.

I love this movie, really loved the twist and final confrontation for the witch.

I’m so glad you covered this. I adore this movie!

Never too early for some spooky vibes, amazing video for a great movie.

ParaNorman is my absolute favorite movie!

halloween is just around the corner and this review just made my day 😁⚰️🦇

Actually when I watched the movie as a kid, I felt good.

Yet another classic from Laika.

OMG STOP this was like the version of a horror movie to me growing up, like I hated it but LOVED it at the same time XD

👋 Stoping by to show my support! Funny enough, I remember my school showing this one Halloween after we complained about watching Monster house every year 😭. The nolstiga is real with this video. Appreciate it!

Watch this every halloween, and have been since 2012

0:37 I loved Coraline as a kid and I still do, along with BoxTrolls & ParaNorman. I love all of those movies and I honestly wish that there were a movie where those 3 legendary movies were formed into 1 movie, it would be chaotically awesome!

3:51 This is cowardice. Ros Mo, I thought you *yeeted babies* for a living? 👶 Come on, Ros Mo, *GET WITH THE PROGRAM!*

This should be the standard for stop motion

IVE WATCHE THIS MOVIE AND THEN YEARS LATER I TOLD MY MOM TO PUT THIS ON AND SHE DIDNT REMEMEBER IT BUT I CAN SEE WHY BUT I LOVEEEE THIS MOVIE

I loved this movie as a kid, this and Coraline. two of the few stop motion animated films i actually like because in all honesty i'm not really that big a fan of stop motion stuff. but for me personally ParaNorman and Coraline are the exceptions.

Thank goodness people are talking about this movie because gosh DANG IT it’s such a good movie and I’ve always really liked it :)

ur literally my comfort youtuber, love all ur videos!

I was OBSESSED with this movie and it’s still one of my favorites

I haven’t seen this movie since it came out. I remember not really loving it at the time but have been meaning to revisit it.

Love the vid, Paranorman is a movie I always enjoy

Genuinely good content

Ever heard of Delgo?

i love this movie its one of my favorites and the reason why agatha and Norman are foils is because there related agathas last name is penderghast (idk if i spelt that right)

10:10 The judge did say to her that she was going to be hanged by he neck in the memory scene tho,,,

OMG THANK YOU FOR BRING BACK MY CHILDHOOD

i saw this movie at age 7 and i loved it

When I saw the thumbnail I immediately remembered the clip I saw about the guy saying you’ll love my bf

I haven't seen that movie in years.

I remember liking the movie. 😊

Your so close To 200K KEEP IT UP;🤗🤗

as always you make the most relaxing vids

YAY😍 great movie

I understand the”I wish they showed aggie earlier for a more personal connection to norman”thing but in my opinion this would’ve weakened the films moral of speech. Norman assumes that for most of the film that the witch was an evil old crone but he is proven wrong showing just how shallow and wrong our assumptions can be. if we showed aggie at the point where you suggested it would’ve made the twist and message much less impactful.

I had nightmares of her ghost form when I was a kid. But it's still a great movie and I love it still to this day.

just think about how realistic the conversations are and the realationships are

No, they do say Aggie will be hanged when she's getting "sentenced" (berated) by the court. At this point she's crying so it's kinda hard to make out but it is there

My favorite lika film

The only thing i remember from this movie is that jock guy turn out gay and i was so happy

This movie has always been on my mind, ever since I first watched it as a kid.

As a kid this movie scared me but now I love it, similar with monster house and kubo.

Coraline, Kipo and the two strings

I adored this movie as a kid! Pretty sure Mitch is the reason I love himbos so much now, hehe. Something I'd like to say (sorry, haah, I don't get to talk about Paranorman that much).. I actually love how normal Norman is. As somebody who's ND (neurodivergent) I was also picked on a lot for being abnormal. Like any kid would, I started masking, and just trying to act as normal as possible. We don't get to see much of Norman's personality, but that's because he's never been allowed to show it-I mean, seeing ghosts would fuck up your humor and darken your interests, no? I haven't watched it in a while, but I've always felt a big part of Norman's character development and acceptance of himself is starting to remember who he is and showing his personality again. Ofc, this would be post-movie, though. Aggie appreciation club though. Poor girl deserved so much better.

This movie. Another good stop motion animation film with a boy who talks to spirits and seek to help them than exploited them. Norman is a very unusual and yet relatable character who likes scary things while being a nice person. The film does subversion thinking about instead of putting the young witch back to sleep. Norman helps her find peace before heading to the after life. The zombie town folks who not only admit their mistakes and willing to rewrite their wrongs with Norman's help. Paranorman is good film. 24:26 Only thing that almost ruined the film. Alvin felt annoying and acts like a sycophant to gain favor with Norman during the zombies event going on. It's like version of Francis from Fairy Oddparents. Where Francis does bully others because anger issues, Alvin bully for approval seem overly done. Overall, excellent film for Halloween. Wonder if Ros Mo will review the Wendell and Wild movie coming on Netflix? Premiere on 10/28/2022 or Halloween.

I love ParaNorman but God, it makes my cry almost every time I watch it. 🥲

this movie was my god damn childhood dude

Yess Happy Halloween For Horror

I was scared of Paramormn when I was little 😂

I love this movie it’s so good😊

I remember watching this movie when I was little. It was actually kind of good! I enjoyed it a lot ^^

(Reads title) That a trick question :)

This was one of my favorite movies growing up, I loved watching it

I felt that ADHD comment

Fun fact he was the first character in a kid show to be openly gay the more you know

Thanks for this, I went to go watch it right before the 3 minute mark, got teary eyed at the end and came back here

Paranorman was my all time favourite movie growing up :DD

First. Yay! 🎉🎉❤❤❤ Love your vids

This was like my favorite movie still kinda is ^^
