Over two years in the making, Focus Features’ ParaNorman is one of the year’s most honored achievements in animated artistry. The stop-motion animated feature has won numerous Best Animated Feature Film awards, along with two Annie Awards in the categories of Character Animation & Design, as well as nominations for an Academy Award, a BAFTA Award, five VES Awards and a GLAAD Media Award.
Created at Portland, Oregon’s LAIKA Studios, ParaNorman is the result of over 320 talented animators, designers, artists, and technicians who came together to hand-craft one of the year’s most original animated features.
In support of its bid for Best Animated Feature at the Oscars this year, Focus Features has released an interactive booklet [1] providing a closer look at the members of the filmmaking team and their handiwork. Take a trip to Blithe Hollow with clips from the film, video interviews with the artists, slideshows, and music from the soundtrack. There’s also a free, downloadable PDF filled with glossy photos.
