New to the second trailer for Laika's stop motion animated feature Paranorman: Talking. And also lots of new footage.
The new 3D stop-motion comedy thriller from animation company LAIKA, reteaming the company with Focus Features after the groundbreaking Academy Award-nominated "Coraline." "ParaNorman" is, following "Coraline," the company's second stop-motion animated feature to be made in 3D. In "ParaNorman," a small town comes under siege by zombies. Who can it call? Only misunderstood local boy Norman (voiced by Kodi Smit-McPhee), who is able to speak with the dead. In addition to the zombies, he'll have to take on ghosts, witches and, worst, of all, grown-ups, to save his town from a centuries-old curse. But this young ghoul whisperer may find his paranormal activities pushed to their otherworldly limits.
While the teaser and first trailer for Paranorman focused purely on the visuals this new effort gives a whole lot more of character and story. Personally I find Smit-McPhee's voice work a bit bland but the visuals balance that out. Check it below.
