For its thirteenth anniversary, ParaNorman, the sophomore feature from the stop-motion wizards at LAIKA, returns to the big screen in newly remastered 3D. Animation Is Film proudly presents its World Premiere, alongside an all-new short film, “ParaNorman: The Thrifting” starring Anna Kendrick and Finn Wolfhard.

An ancient curse cast upon the sleepy New England town of Blithe Hollow has caused the dead to rise. The only thing standing in the way of complete zombie apocalypse is Norman (Kodi Smit-McPhee), a spiky-haired outcast with an extraordinary gift – the ability to see the dead! 

For the past 20 years, LAIKA has been the gold standard for stop-motion artistry. Whether it’s your first time seeing ParaNorman or your thirteenth, this special anniversary re-release is a must for any lover of animation.
