But this young ghoul whisperer may find his paranormal activities pushed to their otherworldly limits.Voice cast: Kodi Smit-McPhee, Casey Affleck, Anna Kendrick, John Goodman, Leslie Mann, Jeff Garlin, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Elaine Strich, Tempestt Bledsoe, Bernard Hill, Alex Borstein, Tucker Albrizzi Directed by Sam Fell and Chris Butler/Written by Chris Butler/Screenplay by Chris Butler/Produced by Arianne Sutner and Travis Knight/Rated PG [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1RXm81AsNo[/youtube] Link Up!

Hello my name is Mikey and at first watching focus features coraline I had this influential love with the animation and stop motion they put into these films. Hopefully one day with hard work I can be on the same position to make such amazing films. And so, after seeing Paranorman coming to the big screen in 10 more anxious days I hopefully await to watch opening night screening, due to not being able to see Coraline opening night was a horrible time in which I regret, but I’m obviously just another fan of such a brilliant team of animators. So the reason I’d like to go to the premier is to SEE Paranorman because I have this weird love for the characters and artistic design of such production LAIKA creates. Also, it opens a whole new branch for me to start collecting! [email protected]
I think that the premiere would be fantastic because the movie looks great. I am a huge fan of animated films. Can’t wait to see this one.

I loved coraline and I love everything about Halloween, so excited to see this! Stop motion is awesome! I would also like to take my nieces and nephews!
Coraline happens to be one of my favorite movies, if not THE favorite, and I’m incredibly excited to see what else Laika is out to accomplish. If the company wasn’t already great enough, Paranorman features some of my favorite things, like kids, ghost, zombies, relatable messages, and all sorts of other things. Can’t wait to see it!
Mt two little grandsons have been talking about this movie since they saw the preview at the theater. Months ago now. Thanks for the giveaway!

My 10 year old son has been begging to go see this movie and personally I think it looks like a great film.
This movie lookedsl great in so many aspects, the art and making of it was simply phenomenal, but the story was great as well. I am a huge stop motion fan, plus I felt I could relate to Norman a lot in regards to school. Love the attention to detail and the great effort these filnakers put forth to make such a great movie. Would love to win the prize pack!
