ParaNorman 4K Blu-ray Movie Review

A superb edition for fans of ParaNorman.

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.

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.
