ParaNorman 4K Blu-ray Movie Review

A superb edition for fans of ParaNorman.

Reviewed by Neil Lumbard December 21, 2022

ParaNorman is a remarkably entertaining stop-motion animated film with a sense of creativity and wit. Produced by Travis Knight (The Boxtrolls, Kubo and the Two Strings) and Arianne Sutner (Kubo and the Two Strings, Missing Link), ParaNorman  is a unique fantasy-adventure horror comedy from acclaimed animation studio Laika (Coraline).  ParaNorman features an all-star cast of voice actors including Kodi Smit-McPhee, Tucker Albrizzi, Anna Kendrick, Casey Affleck, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Leslie Mann, and Jeff Garlin. An outstanding visual experience and one with plenty to offer audiences (young and old).

An exceptional cover for this must-own steelbook release.

ParaNorman 4K Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras  5.0 of 5

The 4K UHD collectors edition includes limited edition collectible steelbook packaging. The collectible steelbook is beautiful in hand and has a nice sheen. The wonderful print quality of the steelbook makes it all the more special and vibrant in hand. The colors of the art work have considerable "pop" on this visually striking steelbook design. A must own release for steelbook collectors.

The release includes the same excellent supplemental package provided on the previous Special Edition Blu-ray release from Shout Factory. For more information on the bonus features, please refer to the review by colleague Brian Orndorf.

Highly recommended.
