Although it didn’t take off at the box office, Tim Burton’s Frankenweenie generated strong reviews, and for many fans it was a great return to form for the director.
As someone who grew up loving animation and stop-motion animation, I personally think it's great to see the medium coming back in modern times with new technology.
ParaNorman mostly just looks silly, but there is always the chance that it’s just a poorly cut trailer. Still, I think we might be scraping the bottom of the zombie barrel with this one.
