Zombie Pilgrims . . .

I'm not sure what I was expecting with this movie, but "ParaNorman" was not what I thought it was going to be. It tried to be a combination claymation and Tim Burton-esque movie, and while it was interesting and pretty funny at times, I really don't think it deserved the critical acclaim that most were giving it. I understand that the witch trials are medieval by modern day standards (Salem anyone?), but this is certainly not one of my favorite films this year. I definitely won't purchase it.  It tried to throw too many stereo-types from monster movies into the film and combine it with a history lesson, but it just didn't work. Basically we end up with a disturbed kid and zombie pilgrims. 
And you wonder why it didn't make it . . .
