Fun Fact: During the last few weeks leading up to the film's release, Laika sent 49 packages to 49 people (including Neil Gaiman and Kevin Smith). Each package consisted of a wooden crate from "Blithe Hollow" full of "grave dirt" which recipients had to dig through to unearth a coffin. Inside the coffin was one of the seven cursed zombies, complete with background information and name.
This movie had surprisingly deep messages about discrimination, mob mentality, and how we deal with the past. Note that the whole town has turned the horrific hanging of a little girl into a tourist attraction so they can profit off it. However, just like the ghosts that Norman can speak to, the past will not stay buried forever, and we as people need to learn how to live with that.
I like how Judge Hopkins and the zombies of the old townsfolk learn what it's like from the victim's side of an angry mob and do what they can to make things right.
i also just noticed how Neil said in the beginning that if they had more power they'd be a bully too, and i think that's exactly what happened to Aggie, she turned to a bully because she finally had the power.
I saw this in a drive through with my sister when it came out. We’re both gay and live in a conservative state and when it was revealed Mitch was gay I made a joke about trying to count the cars that left because of the reveal. No cars did leave but we both laughed until we cried
@@simplebull210Hey, the sister here! Kiddo2468 is a delight to be around, and if you knew the kind of town we came from you might understand why we were comfortable making that assumption. All the best to you!
@simplebull210 Yo, very uncalled for. This proves that YOU don't know their situation. People prolly didn't leave only because it was the end of the movie so there'd be no point. The fact that they even had thoughts about who'd leave DOES show the type of people living in their town. Like it's very known that conservative towns aren't very welcoming to those they dint like. I won't act like I know what everyone in the town is like but it says something when the people who live there comment about how people would react.
This is probably my favorite Laika film with Kubo being a close second. I really love the punchline for the jock bro one of the best and funniest surprises of the movie. This has everything I love about a good horror film because it has that emotional core that's true to life and really nails it.
Kubo reminds me of the first time I saw a ghibli film they capture such a specific feeling of child wonder and it's rare I find media that still manages to get to me like that 😅
The witch’s surname was the same as the uncle’s, so the witch is probably related to Norman and the ability to talk to the dead probably passes down through the family showing up in some members.
This is one of my favourite horror movies ever made cos it perfectly walks the line between horror and tragedy. It’s funny and scary and beautifully animated but it’s also devastatingly sad at its core and I love that.
52:31 "Superstitious people in the 1600s, man" Me: *pointedly* looks and gestures to what is happening in our very modern times Loved the reaction! Yall are a great duo with clear love and knowledge for the art
This is my favorite Laika movie along with Kubo and the Two Strings. It's not only amazing in its themes but the handcraft that went into it. The fact that clothing is painted by hand and they use as little vfx as posible or only when absolutely needed. Kubo and the Two Strings is a beautiful movie too hope you get the chance to watch it aswel as Coraline without it we wouldn't have all the other Laika movies.
I love all of Laika's flicks but this is my absolute favorite. I re-watch it on the regular. I hope you guys continue to watch Laika's movies, as Coraline and The Boxtrolls are fantastic and my second faves. Also, Neil is one of my most favorite characters. I freakin' love him.
If I remember correctly, the behind the scenes told an unbelievable amount of work, there was so so much done hand made. Hair, clothes, skin color, everything… just amazing. The older brother was my favorite character, never judge…I think is the theme of the movie, just a amazing film.
The music for this film is by Jon Brion who is such an underrated and underappreciated composer. Did films like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Lady Bird, Step Bothers and Punch-Drunk Love. My favorite score from his is Magnolia. One of the most beautiful scores ever made and one of my personal favs. Can't wait for u guys to react to that film on this channel. Its amazing. This film is probably my favorite Laika stop motion animated film.
Mitch being a gay character was such a big moment. He just happens to be gay. Which is a big win for straight and gay relationships. It honestly just helps to remove alienation.
Love love love this movie so much. It’s fun, scary and emotional. Sometimes horror is good for kids, like the movie said, there’s nothing wrong with being scared. Laika as a studio is very underrated/under appreciated. It’s starting to get more appreciation as the people that grew up with it got older, and dwells on the nostalgia with others on the internet, but they just deserves more recognition honestly.
As someone who really really likes stop motion I want more I loved paranorman,coraline and the Pinocchio film on Netflix I want more. Love the content rejects ❤
This movie even tho I loved it I always felt like there was something missing. One plot I always feel like they should’ve made a bigger deal is the reflection of Norman and His sister with their mom and uncle’s relationship. I know the sister does stand up for Norman but I wish it was a bigger thing specially with her mom not even knowing her brother died. Instead we got more focus on the dad when in imo should’ve been the mom. When everything seems to come from the mom’s side of the family. Specially since we have the Uncle and Witch being versions of how Norman could end up like. Both of them being related to him.
Norman calls Mr Prenderghast his uncle, but he's actually his great-uncle. when the parents are arguing in the beginning, you can hear his dad tell his mom "i'm not gonna let him turn out like that uncle of yours." so, not her brother
This is a great movie, not what I expected when I first watched it and love the animation!!!! I would recommend kubo and the two strings it’s a beautiful stop motion animated movie hope for a reaction to it one day!! Geekjects ❤❤❤
This is my favorite Laika movie. The artistry in the puppets always amazes me. You should def check out their behind the scenes which goes over the materials they use.
this movie is so underrated. i know people say that all the time but this one genuinely is, it always gets overshadowed by coraline but tbh, i like this better! literally every aspect, the story, the writing, the characters, the cinematography, the smoother stop-motion, the theme
insane how agatha and the film version of alessa from the silent hill movie had the exact same backstory, AND they're played by the same person (jodelle ferland)
Laika reached a new level in charactera lighting sound effects.the result is my fav 'halloween' animated film of all time. I wish Norman and pals would get a spin off short where he finds mothman,lochness,el chupacabra,Fresno nightcrawlers or missing link on Vacation. With the title Paranorman the series is open for more than just ghosts and zombies. The fact they werent afraid of adult humor reminds me of 80's movies monster squad and helps age the movie.
I love stop motion and i've always been a huge fan of it. When i was younger i would make shorts with legos and clay. i stopped for a while but i got back into it in he past year. right now im working on a short film (DP vs HM). I dont wanna say too much but if you know me (and my superchats) i think you could put together what part of the story will be.
This is one of the best of Laika. I have been to the studio(as I live right next to it in Hillsboro Oregon! And they have given this movie much more love there. They have pictures and designs/storyboards of the movie all over the place now. I dont think it was very big(not like coraline) but it was great. The visuals alone are so stunning, espcially the climax in the woods. Also this is the first animated kids movie to have an openly gay character! They did it so casually its great.
This is definitely an underrated Gem. I thnk Quintions Rule of only ten movies is he looks at is Less is more or Quality over quantity doesmt want to over do it my personal favor of his is Django
Laika Studios have a UA-cam channel where they talk about and show off the work that goes knto making these films and it's absolutely incredible stuffs
Please do True Grit with matt damon and josh brolin, Hateful 8 or Young Guns with young charlie sheen (yall dont have enough westerns ,please please please) also tim burtons Frankenweiny would be a fun one
While I DO love Coraline, I am sad not a lot of people have given Wendell and Wild a chance which is just as amazing imo. Features Key and Peele as well
I think the corps who tells Norman to stop and is the main one in the car reminds me of Bill Nighe.Excuse spelling.Not the voice.He’s British as me.Just his look.😊
i totally forgot the sister was Anna Kendrick, I thought it was Ashley Tisdale until the end credits. (to be fair the last time I saw this movie was 2012 so....)
Dang, the ending always gets me. It's just so sad and bittersweet. A very unnecessary death, this movie shows the really good but horrorible sides to humans.
I wasn't allowed to watch this when I was a kid for because of the typical parent satanic panic. Watched it when I was an adult and it's just a sad movie, I guess the devil is just depressed lmao
Honestly this was a great movie and I think it's highly underrated I'm glad you guys are watching it however I think you guys should just watch all of the Halloween classics even if you have seen them On the title card just put first watch/rewatch lol there are so many great movies for this particular month and in this particular category I absolutely love Frankenweenie,Corpse Bride, Coraline l, The Boxtrolls of course nightmare before Christmas lol monster House etc etc you got to watch the haunted Mansion both original haunted Mansion and the new one you have to watch both Hocus pocus ompare those and we need and I mean we need to get the hellraiser franchise reacted to as well as the Michael Myers series we have seen the reactions to almost all the alien movies the predator Friday the 13th movies, now we need nightmare on elm Street Friday the 13th and Halloween

You know, I think you should react The Omen franchises even though the prequels got released since April.
Definitely do Coraline next please. I think you'll really enjoy it.
Norman and the witch are definitely related. her name is Agatha Prenderghast, and his maternal (great-)uncle is Mr. Prenderghast

LAIKA'S dedication to stop motion should be appreciated,it takes patience and creativity to come out with such insane stories & designs ❤
Fun fact: Mitch is the first openly gay character in an animated kids movie. What an icon.

Kubo is so brilliant.

Laika deserve so much more recognition than they're getting.
Their movies are wonderful!

This is such an underrated film that doesn't get much attention and it should! Great reaction Geekjects! :)
18:23 I love the genuine look of concern on Alvin’s face here 😂 it’s hilarious coming from a bully

For a great Christmas movie for this year, I *highly* recommend "Klaus", with J.K. Simmons as the titular character.
@@TheFrugalVideoGamer klaus is such a beautiful film 😩💕
you guys needs to watch 9(2009)one!!!you two going to love that one!!

FINALLY!!! Next you gotta do Frankenweenie!
I absolutely love Laika productions. This movie is a must every spooky season.
51:56 I think they're definitely related. Agatha has the same last name as his uncle who Norman called Mr. Prenderghast.
Mitch being a gay character was such a big moment. He just happens to be gay. Which is a big win for straight and gay relationships. It honestly just helps to remove alienation.
All Laika movies are great. Especially this and my favorite Kubo and the Two Strings
Yeah, they've been near perfect.
What a good movie. What a great duo to watch my first ever reaction to this movie!
Love love love this movie so much. It’s fun, scary and emotional. Sometimes horror is good for kids, like the movie said, there’s nothing wrong with being scared.

This move has aged beautifully
You HAVE to watch Kubo and the two strings next!!
One of my favorites Laika is amazing can’t wait for their next movie
I didn’t know peak was getting uploaded today
My favorite animated movie of all time!!! I hope you guys watch more Laika movies, the level of work and love put into them is incredible to see
As someone who really really likes stop motion I want more I loved paranorman,coraline and the Pinocchio film on Netflix I want more. Love the content rejects ❤
Watch the other Laika films too!
Boxtrolls is a fun piece of film too. 😁

love this movie, it's a shame it doesn't get more attention.
Probably up there as my favorite animated movie of all time. Saw it on my birthday and had a blast. Such a unique gem of a film
Paranorman is my FAVORITE halloween movie EVER
I used to be so afraid of this movie when it came out, and yet now it's one of my favorite animated movies ever.
My life as a Zucchini is a MUST react in the stop motion realm. Super short but incredibly impactful and mature
insane how agatha and the film version of alessa from the silent hill movie had the exact same backstory, AND they're played by the same person (jodelle ferland)
God, I love Jon Brion's score for this film so much.
Each year I watch this movie for spoopy szn it needs more love!
My boys love this movie when they were younger. Just a great movie

This is a great movie
I recommend
Book of Life
Coralline
Kubo n the 2 strings
Box Trolls
All equally as good. 🙏
I know Coraline was already done on the channel but we need Andrew to react to it with whoever else hasn't seen it!
I remember watching this movie during school and I loved every second of it
“Hey Norman…”
Kills a fly
“Talk to THAT”
😂Man I laughed too hard, and too long at that scene
Oh man. I loved this movie. The twists. The animation! Specially the parts with the lightning? How much of that was puppetry with cgi added?
I just realized one of the kids with Alvin is Jeremy Shada the guy who voiced Finn in adventure time
I'm so glad you're watching this movie! It's really underrated.
Hell yea, this was such a good movie
Please do 9 at one point, it gives some really good messages and the visuals are absolutely amazing. very unsettling and disturbing
Frankenweenie is a fun watch too😅👍
This is one of the best of Laika. I have been to the studio(as I live right next to it in Hillsboro Oregon! And they have given this movie much more love there. They have pictures and designs/storyboards of the movie all over the place now. I dont think it was very big(not like coraline) but it was great.

This was such a good movie!
FINALLY!
I got to actually see the lil people and stuff from the movie it was actually so cool!
Watch all of the Laika movies. They are so good
Oh, I haven’t seen this movie in so long 💚
LOVE this movie. Please react to more Laika films.
The zombies scared me so bad as a kid I had to finish the movie years later.
Awesome! Please watch "Frankenweenie" next!
I love this movie along side with Coraline love y'all ❤😊
This is my fave LAIKA studio movie it's a classic
This is definitely an underrated Gem. I thnk Quintions Rule of only ten movies is he looks at is Less is more or Quality over quantity doesmt want to over do it my personal favor of his is Django
I hope you guys react to the boxtrolls it's the same studio who did coraline and paranorman
Laika Studios have a UA-cam channel where they talk about and show off the work that goes knto making these films and it's absolutely incredible stuffs
A really good animated movie that isn't appreciated enough.
Please do True Grit with matt damon and josh brolin, Hateful 8 or Young Guns with young charlie sheen (yall dont have enough westerns ,please please please) also tim burtons Frankenweiny would be a fun one
Love this movie
John Leguizamo was in Spawn!?!?!? I need to re-watch it immediately
Yup he played The Violator (The Clown)
One of my favorite movies
While I DO love Coraline, I am sad not a lot of people have given Wendell and Wild a chance which is just as amazing imo. Features Key and Peele as well
I love this movie!
I think the corps who tells Norman to stop and is the main one in the car reminds me of Bill Nighe.Excuse spelling.Not the voice.He’s British as me.Just his look.😊
I love this movie (not a big fan of Coraline) and others from Laika. Still waiting in a channel to react to my fave, The Boxtrolls
I love this movie so much
I hope you guys do watch Coraline that be cool to see his first time reaction
i totally forgot the sister was Anna Kendrick, I thought it was Ashley Tisdale until the end credits. (to be fair the last time I saw this movie was 2012 so....)
My favorite movie growing up
Gotta watch Odd Thomas after this. =)
Dang, the ending always gets me. It's just so sad and bittersweet. A very unnecessary death, this movie shows the really good but horrorible sides to humans.
This movie is such a Gem I love it sm!
UNDER AN HOUR WOOHOO
Please watch the anchorman legend of burgundy!!
Does Tarantino not count Four Rooms?
Such a great movie!
Cool movie
What was Norman thinking anyway? He could’ve been killed.
Yes, but if he didn't do it, we wouldn't have a movie.
I wasn't allowed to watch this when I was a kid for because of the typical parent satanic panic. Watched it when I was an adult and it's just a sad movie, I guess the devil is just depressed lmao
Honestly this was a great movie and I think it's highly underrated I'm glad you guys are watching it however I think you guys should just watch all of the Halloween classics even if you have seen them
On the title card just put first watch/rewatch lol there are so many great movies for this particular month and in this particular category I absolutely love Frankenweenie,Corpse Bride, Coraline l, The Boxtrolls of course nightmare before Christmas lol monster House etc etc you got to watch the haunted Mansion both original haunted Mansion and the new one you have to watch both Hocus pocus ompare those and we need and I mean we need to get the hellraiser franchise reacted to as well as the Michael Myers series we have seen the reactions to almost all the alien movies the predator Friday the 13th movies, now we need nightmare on elm Street Friday the 13th and Halloween
Despite my hard life, $75k biweekly changed my mindset and behavior, my goals, my family and I've to say this video has inspired me a lot!!!!❤️
If there’s a She-ject shirt there should be a Geek-ject shirt just saying
I agree!
