Through a strange convergence of events, the new stop-motion animated film "ParaNorman" arrives at the crossroads of two topics that are big these days (albeit in different sections of the newspaper): zombies and bullying.
Opening Friday, the film follows a young boy, Norman, who can see and talk to ghosts. When a dreaded curse unleashes zombies upon his town, Norman must save the day, while avoiding the local bully and other unsavory folks.
