LAIKA’s stop-motion feature ParaNorman is returning to theaters this Halloween for a one-week limited engagement, presented in newly remastered RealD 3D and 2D formats. Originally released in 2012, the film will be accompanied by a brand-new CG short titled ParaNorman: The Thrifting, featuring voice work by Anna Kendrick and Finn Wolfhard.

International screenings begin October 23 via Trafalgar Releasing, with U.S. showings starting October 25 through Fathom Entertainment. The release follows the strong box office performance of Coraline’s 2024 reissue and kicks off a year-long celebration of LAIKA’s 20th anniversary.

Directed by Chris Butler and Sam Fell, ParaNorman received multiple award nominations and remains a notable entry in LAIKA’s catalog. The new short is directed by Thibault LeClercq and produced with Passion Pictures.

The announcement was made at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival.
