18:15 The reason Norman and Agatha have the same ears and big eyebrows is because they’re related, albeit distantly related. Agatha’s surname is Prenderghast, which is the surname of Norman’s uncle (actually great-uncle as Norman’s mom said he’s her uncle) who is called Mr Prenderghast. All three of them have the same big eyebrows and also the same eyes.
The kids saying "kill the witch" in the play, a little girl getting surrounded and looking bullied, just hits harder on rewatch. Especially when the girl has the same hairstyle as "the witch".
Additionally her line of “don’t you think the image of a green old witch is a bit unrealistic” and then it’s revealed to be what actually was accused as a which during the time
I mean I don’t think it’s this town specifically, I feel like there is just a sizable percent of people that if a zombie apocalypse did start would be ready to throw hands
It’s amazing how many zombie movie protagonists need to be TOLD this. Like. Can we have ONE zombie movie where the protagonist is like “oh, right, zombies, don’t let them bite you and you can kill them by destroying the brain, i got this” (Personally tho, I think kneecapping zombies is a better strategy because smashing their heads in or cutting their heads off means you could get blood in your eyes or mouth. Meanwhile a broken leg means IT DOESNT WORK AS A LEG. It’s not gonna chase you very effectively if it CANT WALK
This movie is actually pretty underrated imo. Like everyone talks about Nightmare Before Christmas and Coraline. But there aren’t many talks about ParaNorman. Personally, it’s one of the best movies to watch around Halloween. But since it’s September, that pretty much takes away the magic.
I love that they saved it to the end so you already have formulated your preconceived notions of his character before he said "peace out the movie's over and also I'm gay"
Such an underrated masterpiece that Im glad more people are recognising. The scariest part of the entire movie is that accusing a child of being a witch and them executing her is DEFINITELY something that happened during that time period.
@@andressalinas6324she was accused because she could see and talk to ghosts. Same as Norman. It’s very lightly implied she’s Norman’s ancestor. Does that make Norman a witch? Why doesn’t he try to do anything evil? Agatha didn’t do anything wrong until after she was killed, and it was only to the people who hurt her. The judge and the false witnesses.
@@cinematographystudio Norman was in a different time where people just thought he was weird and crazy but SHE was in a time where they thought she was evil and In a 100x tougher environment she could have easily turned bad considering even at her young age she manages to curse and resurrect the ones who wronged her
@@andressalinas6324 are u saying they were right to kill her when she COULD have done something bad? like, can we just agree that the movie is a metaphor to not treat people who are "different" badly, and how they actually used to definitely kill the weird ones (usually girls) for being "witches"
Also, here’s some fun facts!: The scene where mr.p shows up in the bathroom took an entire year to animate AND ONLY ONE ANIMATOR WAS WORKING ON THAT. Also, the zombies rising also took an entire year to animate and that was animated by Travis Knight, the CEO of the studio. If you look hard enough, Mr. P’s underpants have the wording “Mr. Fell” referencing one of the directors Sam Fell, Also Mitch has underpants that read “Mr. Butler” referencing Chris Butler the writer and Director of ParaNorman!
@@StartAnimation omg! Tysm! I love reposting ParaNorman stuff so people can learn pretty cool stuff about the movie and Stop Motion animation! It’s so awesome coming across someone who knows my Insta :D
Fun fact: Anyone who can see ghosts has jagged irises. The opening scene was something that the writers didn't wanna do because of how awful it was (which was the point)
No one understands how much work it truly takes for Stop motion movies. The patience and dedication! Shame how it usually doesn't sell well in theaters. They should watch "Kubo And The 2 Strings" next!
I love how you can tell they're related based on their facial features. And how Norman's Mom's maiden name is Pendhergahst! I wouldn't be surprised if the tradition of the book reading started from her mom reading at her grave every day until she died, and it became a family tradition for those that could see spirits.
@@boomgirlbucko It’s debatable which father is worst, but at most Buck never directly told chicken little he was crazy(since they deleted that scene in the final version so thankfully not canon). Norman also had a not as harsh mom to talk to.
There was a time I went on a cruise with my parents when I was 16. I was sitting in the hottub with like a dad, his son and someone else while this movie was on the big screen. The part when the jock talks about his boyfriend at the end made the guy so pissed 😭. “This country is really falling apart it’s a shame.” And both he and his son fled the hottub. I felt so awkward and wanted to laugh 😂.
the dad really said that treating it like it was a 2024 lgbt something somethingism agenda movie when it came out in 2012. WAY before those agendas came in lol. or he just might be generally homophobic.
bro, please relax it is not that deep. I don’t even watch that fucking show the word peak is literally in the dictionary and I used it for it shut up, please.💀🙌
Same here LOL I was EXACTLY like that when I was 11 when the movie came out and it spoke to me. I was exactly how you described, super awkward but instead of the awkwardness coming from being shy/quiet, it was because I was so direct and confident it was almost intimidating to other kids. I’m kind of STILL that way now and I’m 23 lol. There aren’t that many of us so it’s nice to see characters like that.
I could totally see a teenage Norman smoking in a graveyard, sharing stories with his little ghost cousin (aunt?) Aggie about their different time periods.
One of the thing I enjoyed about Paranorman is how the chaos is mainly caused by the townspeople and not the zombies. I find it funny how the zombie puritans just freak out about how modern day New England is and how they spend time running away from the angry mob.
Paranorman is my all time favorite stop motion films! Next to Coraline. But apart from those two I'm not really that big a fan of stop motion stuff, I mean I don't hate it but I certainly appreciate it because like all animation stop motion is an art. But anyway, I'm happy to see you guys react to this movie!
@@smolson8471 Oh I've seen Monster House many times, In fact two of my favorite parts of that movie is when Chowder fights the house with that tractor, And when I see the part where Nebbercracker hugs Constance's spirit and she floats away, I cry a little.
thank you TH-cam for making creators censor the times in movies MADE FOR CHILDREN that a character says "boobs" however could you otherwise make a platform safe for children /s
One of the few movies that I sat through the entire credits, only to immediately rewind the whole thing to watch a second time (in a row). I deeply wish I could watch this for the first time again… I wish more kids content (mostly in current day) would put forth at least a fraction of this effort; what they made here is incredible
For real! no queerbaiting or turning it into a personality trait, just a casual mention that he has a boyfriend and it’s not treated as a “woah, what the fuck” moment, just something casual and goofy. And its not even silly because “haha gay funny”, its silly because the entire movie he was acting completely oblivious (or just outright ignorant) to every time she tried to make a move on him. Like its peak gay representation and humor
The witches glitch faces are actual masks for the puppet, and the puppet is translucent with a light in it, the amount of money I would pay for one of those glitch face masks is insane
I actually saw this on my 12th birthday when it came out after me, my mom, my sis and one of my former neighbours went to Chuck E Cheese's (since it was my last visit ever since). Eventually it happened a day after that one Gravity Falls episode “The Time Traveller's Pig” first aired. It was such a fever dream since it had been my all time favourite movie (based on many rewatches).
Theory is the witch is Norman's ancestor since they both talked to the dead and they looked similar. I do like the message of the movie. That fear of the unknown is what was bad. That people acting on fear, doing terrible things thinking they were right at the time, and the cycle of violence it can cause. It's a good reminder some people need, and props for using realistic examples referencing the witch trials which had very real and extreme consequences for innocent victims and the modern version of it of outcasting someone and mob tendancies.
I don’t think Norman being related to Aggie is a theory. It’s Canon. Laika did a Q&A one time and did confirm they are related. And there’s also like a ton of clues pointing to the fact that they are both related, even the novelization, Norman points out that they are in fact related.
Agatha is related to Norman through his mother's side, as her maiden name is Prenderghast. The mom doesn't have the gift Norman does, so she lacks the faceted eyes shared by Aggie, Norman, and Norman's uncle.
best cinematic reveal is when they’re all talking to her in the courtroom and it’s in her pov and then we finally see her for the first time and it’s a fucking 10 year old little girl like oh my god i started bawling first time i watched
Only just now getting around to seeing your guys' reaction, as I was seeing a screening of the film and seeing the Laika exhibition in London the other day. Even though I know the film very well, I didn't want to be thinking of what you guys were saying ;) After my recent rewatch, I think it gets closer to dethroning Coraline for my favourite Laika film. It's got ghosts, zombies and a witch. There's a little more exploration of Norman and how everyone views him. There's some really clever lines from Norman's grandmother. Like at the beginning she says: "I’m sure if they just bothered to sit down and talk it through it’d be a different story." Which is of course what Norman does with Agatha in the finale. And the line: "There’s nothing wrong with being scared, Norman. So long as you don’t let it change who you are." Which again, ties back to Agatha. After what she was put to death, she came back and had changed and become more evil out of fear and revenge.
When I was young I feel so bad for the girl cause she was young when she got that unfair trial, and if the old guys were scared imagine what Aggie(Agnes?) felt.
I remember this being my favorite movie since I was 6-8 years old, and it never got old when I watch this on repeat, the reason why stop motion is peak in the animation industry
Dude Paranorman is a core memory of mine for some reason. I’m also pretty sure it’s my favorite Laika movie, even though I’ve seen Coraline way more times.
Top tier LAIKA film! LAIKA has such a fantastic filmography and aside from Coraline I don’t feel they get enough love. Agatha on her own is some top tier stop motion/CGI
I never saw or heard of this movie before, which is surprising because this movie looks right up my alley and in that time frame where I watched movies like this
Saw this movie once in an afternoon TV that I ultimately decided to be late for school just so I can finish it, and I remember in my heart the ponytail girl
Basically, accusin people of being witches just because they are weird is the same thing as bullying people just because they are different, is kind of the message of the movie 🥺✨
I actually can see ghosts like Norman but I can’t communicate with them and it’s been happening since I was young. I believe that was the reason I was so invested in this movie and I loved it so much
Yeah Because while Yes Both Norman & Chicken little are outcasts the difference is Norman is seen as just Weird by most people due to him seeing Ghosts While others can’t, whilst chicken little is harassed for making one misunderstanding
This is an oddly fantastic classic, I say odd cuz the aesthetic feels like the biggest jump from comfort to me. It should be too weird, but all the storytelling and characters make it so cute.
Paranorman was a weird movie , it looks like it wont be a good movie but when you sit down and actually watch it, its pretty good. Underrated for sure.

And a good chunk of the time it was other kids who would accuse them. Similar to how Norman is mistreated by his age group for seeing ghosts too.

When I was young I feel so bad for the girl cause she was young when she got that unfair trial, and if the old guys were scared imagine what Aggie(Agnes?) felt.

19:08 who said what? Yeah it’s a casual setting like zz😂
8:05 It's been a week, but I DID forget that happened
Not only do they mention psychonauts but also have the soundtrack in the background at 1:30
Somehow this was the first movie I watched on Netflix.
I actually can see ghosts like Norman but I can’t communicate with them and it’s been happening since I was young. I believe that was the reason I was so invested in this movie and I loved it so much
This have always been one of my favorites movies, its so cossy but dark atvthe same time❤
So glad people are now watching this amazing movie this used to be my favourite movie as a kid.
Man this movie was peak when it came out and it is still even peak now
Definitely my favorite Laika movie. It’s so nostalgic for me 🥰
0:32 PSYCHONAUTS MENTION!!! LETS GO!!
(I get insane whenever people mention my favorite video game)
Edit: 17:46 PSYCHONAUT 2!!!
Thanks for reminding me time to play Psychonauts 1 and 2 again
Did they watched Fantastic Mr Fox yet ? It's my favorite stop motion movie. We need more !!!
Cant wait for their next film, I even went to the remastered Coraline movie and saw them making all the models
You know what else is actually amazing?
*Dan Vs*
Benn suggesting it for nearly four years!
This was my favourite movie as a kid!! I remember watching it like 10 times ❤️
I just gotta say I'm loving the visual Persona references, especially the P4 Anime.
I don't know how they keep getting sponsors but I'm happy for them. 👍
My dyslexic a*s thought the title said “Panoraman”. Like some sort of screen ratio superhero.
Saw this last years, this is better version of the premise of Chicken Little.
Yeah Because while Yes Both Norman & Chicken little are outcasts the difference is Norman is seen as just Weird by most people due to him seeing Ghosts While others can’t, whilst chicken little is harassed for making one misunderstanding
This is one of my all time favorite movies! I watch it every Halloween
10:58 Jacks reaction is hilarious
This is an oddly fantastic classic, I say odd cuz the aesthetic feels like the biggest jump from comfort to me. It should be too weird, but all the storytelling and characters make it so cute.
Paranorman was a weird movie , it looks like it wont be a good movie but when you sit down and actually watch it, its pretty good. Underrated for sure.
I absolutely love this film. Underrated gem. Glad I still have the DVD.
15:15 "Yeah, I'll admit, that killing of a child wasn't one of our best days. A real oopsie daisy, if you will."
Love this movie probably my favourite Laika film tied to Coraline of course
