Norman and Uncle Prenderghast

(l to r.) Norman (voiced by Kodi Smit-McPhee) is spooked by Mr. Prenderghast (voiced by John Goodman) in the stop-motion animated film ParaNorman. Norman, is an 11-year-old boy who can see and talk to ghosts. So far, this has not made his life easy; however, his odd uncle Prenderghast informs him that a centuries-old witch's curse is real and is about to come true, and only Norman has the ability to do something about it.
