ParaNorman: Laika Returns

Looks like Laika, the Oregon based animation studio behind Coraline will be returning with a new feature next year called ParaNorman. According to the website, the boy (Who I'm assuming is called Norman) has an ability to speak with the dead, and has to use those powers to save his town from an ancient curse. Its looking absolutely amazing, using an even more refined version of the stop motion CG style present in Coraline. My only hope is that this new film will feature more likable and relatable characters, which I personally felt was the only issue that kept me from loving Coraline. Wait and see.
