Line #9 Awesome/ParaNorman


1	! '''This page will contain a bunch of unmarked spoilers.'''
2
3	* The fact that Norman's been able to withstand bullying at school and a difficult home life for seemingly years, yet still manage to remain rather well-adjusted, is amazing in and of itself.
4	* Uncle Prenderghast gets one when he dies... and promptly forces his ghost back into his body, declaring, "Not yet. ''Not yet''!", followed by a mad cackle. He may be a lunatic, but he's an ''awesome'' lunatic. (Sure, he dies for real a second later, but hey, can't fault a guy for trying. And even managing it for a ''second'' is pretty impressive!)
5	* Norman climbing to the top of the town hall to try and stop the witch's rampage. He hardly has any idea what he's even doing, but he still tries his best to save the town. He even survives being struck by lightning and plummeting to the ground like it was nothing!
6	* When Courtney, Mitch, Alvin, and Neil [[ShamingTheMob stand up to the mob]] for threatening Norman and the zombies.
7	-->'''Alvin''': (''[[SuddenPrincipledStand shaking his finger at the mob]]'') Shame on every single one of you! How dare you all!
8	* Neil provides some subtle moments of awesomeness. Not only is he awesome for being so upbeat despite being a target of the school bully and trying to be friends with Norman, but when Norman's being messed with by a creepy old man and chased by a bully, he doesn’t hesitate to step up and try to get the bad guys to back off. Kid's got a pair of brass ones.
9	** No kidding! Little guy's first reaction to a zombie trying to grab Norman through the top of a moving van? Grab the undead corpse and try to physically restrain it.
10	* You gotta give Judge Hopkins and his zombies some credit -- they don't give up easily. At one point, one of them gets badly torn apart, which, under the standards of most works involving zombies, is enough to ensure they won’t be a problem. Yet Hopkins and his crew of jurors stop and put him back together. They also escape the mob of townsfolk to get to Norman (without any of the townsfolk noticing that they were gone, at least at first).
11	* Norman single-handedly [[RestoredMyFaithInHumanity restoring his own faith in humanity]] as well as Agatha's.
12	* Might be primarily a TearJerker or NightmareFuel, but Norman trying to talk to Aggie by telling her her story and doing it even as she throws everything she can at him is pretty cool, especially with the music playing.
13	** The confrontation with Agatha was awesome in a dozen different ways. Eerie, disturbing whispers when he asks her how sleepy she is, razor spikes from the ground, and [[ShockAndAwe lightning]]. So much lightning. ALL OF THE LIGHTNING. Then the world starts to tear apart into a giant abyss. And Norman manages to keep reaching out to the poor girl, the entire time, somehow not dying.
14	** Just they way Agatha delivers her line "''I don't want to go to sleep, and you can't make me''." She takes every child's battle cry against bedtime, and turns it into a chilling one-liner.
15	** The scene of Agatha slowly rising out of the ground to the swell of the music in particular has no right to look as amazing as it does. The animation looks so smooth you WILL forget the movie's actually stop-motion and not CGI.
16	* Mitch is arguably one for the writers, as this is the first time an American family movie has had a character who's gay, has a boyfriend, and isn't [[ManlyGay stereotypically macho]] or [[CampGay campy]]:
17	-->'''Mitch''': You're gonna love my boyfriend. He's a total chick-flick nut.
18	** Also a SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment\|s}}.
19	* One for the animators. [[http://41.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7q4ypmCZh1qjhlhko1_1280.jpg THEY SCULPTED MOTION BLUR!]]
