Summary

Paranorman is a movie from 2012 that sneakily deconstructs American traditionalism, suburbia, and consumerism. Abe is a film nerd who believes that film school dissections of children's animated films are a good use of ninety of your minutes. Let's get real though. That Jon Brion score, Laika's beautifully grotesque animation style, and some superb voice acting keeps this movie afloat. I don't care what Adam says, he doesn't write these descriptions. Chalk it up as a win, baby!
