ParaNorman

Synopsis

In the small Massachusetts town of Blithe Hollow, 11-year-old Norman Babcock is an outcast due to his ability to communicate with the dead, including his grandmother and other town ghosts. He is often bullied at school and feels isolated from his family. His only friend is Neil Downe, another bullied student. Norman's estranged great-uncle, Mr. Prenderghast, reveals that Norman must soon perform a ritual to protect the town from a 300-year-old witch's curse. After his great-uncle's sudden death, Norman is tasked with completing this ritual to prevent the witch's curse from bringing about disaster.
