Laika Studio's latest is a really fun little flick with their usual detailed stop frame animation on full display, looking amazing in 3D as well. They've added in quite a lot of CG atmosphere and some motion blur in this one which does take away a little from the stop frame look, but overall it's a stuffing film visually.
It's got a really fun story and an amazing voice cast bringing all these ridiculous characters to life. I didn't even recognise Ben Kingsly. It's also very funny, there were a few moments I was laughing out loud at jokes that went over the kids heads.
It doesn't quite have the same appeal as Paranorman for me, simply because the subject matter in that film is right up my alley, but it's well worth a look on the big screen in 3D. Really fun time. And there's a beautiful shot midway throughout the credits that pulls back the curtains a little, that was amazing.
