ParaNorman (2012), an animated film horror child stop-motion made by directors Chris Butler, who is on his first film as director and Sam Fell, head of Flushed Away (2006) who once saw a similar style Wallace & Gromit and The Tale of Despereaux (2008) I have not seen.
It is promoted as "From the producers of Coraline (2009)", which assures an excellent minimally standard.
It's pretty hard to trust a tape with two directors, especially if one is firstborn, as it may in the stop-motion film is quite common, so not to worry so much.
The story takes us to the town of Norman (Kodi Smit-McPhee), a special boy who has the power to talk to the dead, among which include zombies and ghosts that swarm the region.
Norman tries to figure out how to save his people from an ancient curse that threatens to destroy it.
Its release is expected on August 17, 2012, without seeing the acting job, but we appreciate the work of art that is impressive for a traditional technique envy of all computer graphics (CG), although as always surely something CG should be in it.
