What does /co/ think of Paranornan?
*Paranorman
>>77508517
One of the best animated movies in years. Fuck Brave for winning an oscar.
Seriously Laika is the only truly competent animation studio today since they don't aim their movies at the lowest denominator and actually give a shit about animation.
>>77508555
Brave beat this? Fucking BRAVE? Ftge
>>77508555
Fuck off, shill, The Boxtrolls was shit
Excellent movie with a terrible endcredits song
>>77508795
Better than Big Weeaboo 6. At least BT was interesting and like Laika's other films, didn't treat it's audience like idiots and didn't rely on FAT ROBOT LOLOLOLOL.
>>77508517
it was pretty fucking overt with its stupid message that being fucked up is always okay no matter what
yknow if it was real, it would NOT be okay to talk to ghosts. or to be a ghost. that implies something went fucking wrong with your death.
Genuinely good film. Deserved more money.
>>77508958
Wow, you're really worked up about this aren't you. Must suck not being able to enjoy fun things.
Everyone likes Coraline though, right?
>>77508795
It was the weakest Laika film for sure, but it was a really good animated film on it's own.
>>77508946
I-I liked it.
Isn't Laika working on some Japanese mythology movie now?
ASS
>>77509279
I NEED SOURCE
Laika really does go above and beyond. Look at this shit. They modeled wipes!
>>77509049
Are you retarded? The message was that just because someone is different, we shouldn't fear or ostracize them, and that if people do put you down for being different, revenge isn't going to help your situation. Which is actually a pretty good message since that happens to people all the time.
>>77509049
>yknow if it was real, it would NOT be okay to talk to ghosts. or to be a ghost. that implies something went fucking wrong with your death.
Yeah, cause if it were real then it'd totally follow your beliefs. Are you a retard?
>>77509335
Just look up Kubo and the Two Strings.
Don't know how many more months till we get to see some stuff from it.
>>77508517
I think I want the goddamn ost for that final scene.
>>77508517
Amazing movie, fills me with rage that Brave got an Oscar over this.
It was a good movie. I don't think it was amazing, but it was solid, and the animation really shows what's possible with stop motion thanks to 3D printing these days.
That being said it was much better than Brave. Brave can fuck off.
It was marvelous from the animation. It lacked very much character and world building though. It felt hollow.
Can we talk about the elephant in the room?
I thought it was hilarious to be honest
>>77508555
Brave was more engaging than Paranorman, senpai.

>he didn't enjoy the Norman versus Aggie scene
Such a good movie. Started crying like a bitch during the Norman vs. Aggie scene.I also enjoy the Norman x Dipper x Wirt fanart.
>>77509215
I don't have any hard facts but feel like Coraline's popularity was a good part of the reason that Paranorman and that frankendog film was made. It's too bad Paranorman wasn't able to bring in similar levels of interest.
>>77511084
Are you referring to the Jock guy probably being gay? I liked the way they did that, subverted expectations without drawing away from the main focus of the movie any.
>>77511527
No, the jock guy is a confirmed fag. The allegations are about his steroid use
A modern day classic. Close to the nightmare before christmas tier but not quite.
>>77508517
I'm glad that it still gets attention. Even if the attention is mostly towards Courtney and her big ass.
The whole Babcock family had big butts. Soon it will be Norman's turn.
>>77511160
>Brave was more engaging than Paranorman
One of my favorites. Shame about it losing the Oscars and will now forever have to wallow in obscurity.
>>77508517
>Or what?
>Or, uh, I'll punch ya in the boobs!
>>77511791
It is in Laika's movie catagory though.
>>77508517
the characters' faces are just too straight-up hideous for me to give it a chance
his sister was hot
>>77511695
What a day that will be.
>>77511862
Watch some clips. They look a lot better in motion.
>>77508517
I liked it a lot, and that final gag where Mitch turns out to be gay was priceless.
My boyfriend really liked itall joking aside, I was dying
>>77511160
Brave is not more engaging than anything. Any other word I could have let pass but engaging is the one thing Brave never managed.
>>77511527
It seemed weirdly tacked on but it was an ok punchline I guess.
it's good. On par with coraline but different tone.
wasn't a fan of boxtrolls.
looking forward to whatever they do next.
>>77508517
Gorgeous animation, wonderful little story.

fuck you, i didn't want to fap 3 times today
>>77512435
CALL
This one takes place in Mass. right? Cool too how faithful the portrayal is, I'm gonna watch it with the gf during the holidays
I liked it a lot, about as much as Coraline (although both are really similar).
Thoroughly enjoyed, good kid's Halloween movie.
>>77512859
That's supposed to be acne above her eyebrow, right?
>>77512926
oh dear, just imagine the mom wearing that cheerleader outfit
Actually just rewarched earlier today. The people at laika are definitely ass men. That said great movie.
>>77512116
>>77512771
>>77512859
What kind of teenager dresses like that?
>>77516209
A slutty one
>Laika will probably never do any sequels
I mean I guess I shouldn't complain since sequels usually suck, but I want one of ParaNorman.
>>77508579
The people who vote on animation Oscars usually go with the most popular thing/what their kids like and don't give a shit. There's an actual site that quotes what they said as their reason behind their choice and it's rage inducing.
Also the only thing I hate about Paranorman is that they never released the music for Aggie's fight, only a crappy alternate version on the soundtrack.
>>77516209
The midwestern kind that's in the middle of a home workout.
>>77508517
from a technical standpoint retarding set design and animation Paranorman is amazing
from a story and character point of view Paranorman is incredibly trite and cliche
>>77516758
>retarding
lol, you mean regarding?
>>77516719
New England is the midwest?
>>77508517
Beautify animated poor writing
>>77509215
Coraline was a million times better then paranorman
Coraline>Paranorman>Boxtrolls
>>77511160
Kill yourself my man.
Every time I have to watch one of their movies, part of me wants to forget that it is stop motion
Cause every time I'm watching them and do think that
I wanna go on a psychotic killing spree screaming "HOW DO THEY DO IIIIITT"
Oh yeah Paranorman is fucking great
>>77516617
I only watch the ones that my kid wants to see, so I didn't see [The] Boxtrolls but I saw Big Hero 6 and I saw [How to Train Your] Dragon [2]. We both connected to Big Hero 6 — I just found it to be more satisfying. The biggest snub for me was Chris Miller and Phil Lord not getting in for [The] Lego [Movie]. When a movie is that successful and culturally hits all the right chords and does that kind of box-office — for that movie not to be in over these two obscure freakin' Chinese fuckin' things that nobody ever freakin' saw [an apparent reference to the Japanese film The Tale of the Princess Kaguya, as well as the Irish film Song of the Sea]? That is my biggest bitch. Most people didn't even know what they were! How does that happen? That, to me, is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen.
>>77508555
It was a Coraline ripoff fuck off
>>77509215
Coraline is a masterpiece for animation genre
>>77519275
so this.
I remember thinking this movie had amazing potential to be a touching story about the autistic kid obsessed with zombies, but it ended up a generic "team of unfitting characters saves the day" type deal that we've seen done so much. A tear for missed potential desu sempai.
>>77508517
Best animated movie ever
>>77520335
I thought it was indeed cliche as fuck, but touching regardless. Generic plot but still executed well
>>77520321
>Laika ripped off Laika
>>77520722
I know, right? What a bunch of hacks
>>77519293
That's probably because Coraline was written by Neil Gaiman.
>>77508517
Just rewatched it last night actually. Great movie. It's not as good as Coraline but few things are, it's still better than almost every other American animated movie this decade.
>>77508517
Characters are cliche as fuck, only the fat kid and Norman were likable characters.
The fact that Courtney lewd art never caught on is the saddest sin of this film.
>>77519275
veeery much agreed. i enjoyed it myself but the only really strong point in the movie was the norman vs aggie scene. i wish the rest of the movie was up to par with that scene. the pacing was really very strange and the middle portion of the movie felt like a whole lot of nothing. it just plain wasn't well written, but i still liked it.
