A Norman Childhood

In the second #WEIRDWINS film, ParaNorman writer and director Chris Butler introduces us to a kid a lot like Norman Babcock—except for the hair and the talking to ghosts thing. http://weirdwins.com/

ParaNorman is pretty weird.

Curious about ParaNorman? Have a burning question that only the cast or crew of the film could answer?

Lucky you - now’s your chance!

Kodi Smit-McPhee, Anna Kendrick, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Travis Knight, Chris Butler, Brian McLean and Sam Fell, all shining examples of how WEIRDWINS, will be on a Comic-Con panel this Friday the 13th. 

Submit a question on Thursday by posting on Facebook or sending an @ reply to @ParaNorman on Twitter, and they just might answer it.

Welcome to WEIRDWINS

WEIRDWINS is about the artists, animators, craftspeople, and filmmakers behind ParaNorman—former weird kids from all over the world who joined forces to make the biggest stop-motion animated film of all time. It’s also about weird kids everywhere (young and old) who prove that you don’t become a hero by being normal.

Over the next five weeks, we’ll be releasing a series of films about the making of and inspiration behind ParaNorman. And we’ll be looking for what inspires you, in all your comic book–collecting, lamppost sweater–knitting, cardboard spaceship–building glory. Use #WEIRDWINS to show us where weird is winning, or to join the conversation.
