Here’s the first official movie trailer of ParaNorman, a brand new stop-motion movie from LAIKA, the animation studio that brought us Coraline:

Plot:
“When a small town comes under siege by zombies, who can it call? Only misunderstood local boy Norman, who is able to speak with the dead. In addition to the zombies, he’ll have to take on ghosts, witches and, worst, of all, grown-ups, to save his town from a centuries-old curse. But this young ghoul whisperer may find his paranormal activities pushed to their otherworldly limits.”

Yet a new awesome movie fro LAIKA! Can’t wait to see the film.
