What the Critics say | ||
Cape Argus / The Star Theresa Smith Great horror for the whole family. | 10 | |
Die Burger François Bloemhof Vir kinders met hare op tande. | 10 | |
24.com Ilan Preskovsky Particularly those who love their spectacular animation served with just a dash of the comically macabre. | 15 | |
Box Office Sara Maria Vizcarrondo ParaNorman is easily one of the most charming, imaginative and quirky comedies to come out of Laika Entertainment (Coraline), but for all its cleverness and urbane wit, it's in no way appropriate for kids. | 5 | |
Rolling Stone Peter Travers Brit screenwriter Chris Butler and his co-director, Sam Fell, lace the fun and fright with keen visual wit. And they don't back off tough themes such as loneliness and death. My advice? Just go with ParaNorman. There's magic in it. | 15 | |
ScreenIt C. Fuchs While it likely won't go down in the annals of animated films as a great entry, it's nonetheless a clear and solidly entertaining effort from start to finish. | 13 | |

Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer Beautifully animated and solidly scripted, ParaNorman will entertain (and frighten) older children while providing surprisingly thoughtful fare for their parents. | 17 | |
