Paranorman 8/10
Great movie, the confrontation at the end was awesome. I made the wrong choice between getting Frankenweenie and this last year. Paranorman is much better. Big hero 6's cgi animation is great too yet stop motion still has that extra bit of realism, and the mix of the two is perfect.
Kids' engagement was 9/10 with this movie. It did get too scary for the 4 year old though, he bowed out just before the confrontation. Hopefully no bad dreams tonight.
I love the artwork, and the making of was fun to watch as always. The level of work is amazing. Every face, 24 per second, was color 3D printed, cleaned up, details added and photographed in position. It's worth it, cgi still can't get the lighting right. But you wonder how long this art form will still be viable. Maybe forever, we still have musicians after all. Maybe the difference is that CGI is too perfect, and the little glitches in stop motion is what makes it so charming.
