ParaNorman 2012

      Developed by animation company LAIKA.  A small town comes under siege by zombies and Norman, local boy, is able to see people who are dead.  He can see his Grandma on the couch and talk to her.  He has only one friend, the other kids, people of the town and his parents think he is “odd.”  The zombies rise out of the graveyard one day a year because of a curse put on them by a little girl.

    This is easy to watch without being too scary with a lot of good animation.  You can indulge viewing all the paranormal threats without having to peer through an opening in your fingers.  3 ½* (I liked this movie)
