This week on High Expectations, we head to Blithe Hollow for LAIKA’s spooky stop-motion adventure, ParaNorman. We’re talking Norman’s ability to see the dead, a centuries-old witch’s curse, surprisingly sympathetic zombies, and a town that might be scarier than the monsters it fears. Plus, we get into the incredible stop-motion work behind the film, its darker themes about fear and acceptance, and why ParaNorman deserves more recognition as one of LAIKA’s best.
