''ParaNorman'' is an upcoming stop-motion animated comic horror film from Laika Animation Studios, better known for their success with ''{{Coraline}}''. It's directed by Chris Butler (the main storyboard artist on ''Coraline'') and Sam Fell (an {{Aardman}} alumni and director of ''FlushedAway''), based off a script written by Butler, and will be released in August 2012.
The film follows the titular protagonist, Norman (voiced by [[TheRoad Kodi]] [[LetMeIn Smit-McPhee]]), living in a small town in Massachusetts. With the "gift" of speaking to the dead, Norman is called an outcast by most of the town, most of which populated by [[AdultsAreUseless childish adults]] and a nasty population of kids. When the town comes under siege by [[ZombieApocalypse zombies,]] [[OurGhostsAreDifferent ghosts]] and [[WickedWitch witches]], only he can actually save the town from these creatures, not to mention a centuries-old curse on the town.
[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZA0mC38540 A trailer can be seen here.]] Be warned, some of the imagery rivals ''Coraline'' in [[HighOctaneNightmareFuel scariness.]]
!!Tropes appearing in ParaNorman include:
* ActorAllusion: Kodi Smit-[=McPhee=] seems to have made a name for himself as a kid in danger with the unknown.
* AdultsAreUseless: Most of the adults range from TooDumbToLive and sometimes just plain crazy.
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Courtney sees Norman as this.
* BarbieDollAnatomy: Averted. When Mitch is shirtless he has nipples.
* BareYourMidriff: Courtney
* CoolLoser: Norman happens to be able to speak to the dead, but is considered an outsider in the community. However, this is somewhat justified when you really consider from everyone else's perspective how this is a kid who is going around claiming he speaks with dead people.
* ChekhovsGun: Norman's ability to speak to the dead becomes useful when the town comes under siege by supernatural forces.
* CrapsackWorld: Much of the trailer shows the rundown suburbia that the protagonist lives in. And [[TownWithADarkSecret of course...]]
* DumbBlonde: Courtney, though it looks like she dyes.
* EverythingsDeaderWithZombies: The first creature to invade the town. Oh, and [[ItGotWorse it gets worse...]]
* GeorgeLucasThrowback: Basically ''TheGoonies'' meets ''NightOfTheLivingDead.''
* HartmanHips: Courtney and her mom.
* HeroWithBadPublicity: Norman is not exactly Mr. Popular in town, for reasons mentioned above in CoolLoser.
* OddFriendship: With the ghosts. One of them being a [[CloudCuckooLander town loon]] voiced by John Goodman.
* ThePoorMansSubstitute: InUniverse. WordOfGod likened the town to a b-list version of Salem, Massachusetts.
* PopularIsDumb: Courtney is a [[TheCheerleader cheerleader]] and Mitch is a [[DumbJock jock]].
* SceneryPorn: Well, it is made by the creators of Coraline, but this one seems to take it UpToEleven in a multitude of ways.
