For Norman

✦ Recommended reasons: This movie is a comedy thriller. The protagonist, Norman, is a psychic boy who is able to converse with the dead, and when his town is surrounded by zombies, ghosts, and witches due to the curses of the old century, he resolves the crisis in his own way.
Although the setting of the story sounds a bit creepy and contains elements of various horror films, the spoofs in it are endless, and from time to time there are various jokes. The story also tells a profound truth, sublimating the theme of the movie: others hurt you because of inferiority and fear, when you think that there are only bad people in the world, it is because you forget that there are good people who love you, and they will always love you.

Corpse Bride
Zombie Bride

However, when Victor rehearses the oath ceremony in the grove on the eve of his wedding, he accidentally puts the ring on a branch on the ground, and a zombie bride is resurrected and claims to be Victor's legal wife...
The Gothic style casts a dark, lonely, fearful, decadent color over the whole film, with a slightly sinister face, but the kind and innocent zombie bride at heart becomes a light in the darkness, allowing the audience to see the beauty in decadence and the warmth in the weirdness. The setting of the story is full of novelty and creativity, and the ending is slightly sad and contemplative.

⑥
Coraline
Ghost Mother
✦ Reason for recommendation: Caroline is a curious girl who discovers a mysterious door in her home, through which she enters a world parallel to reality, where things are almost exactly the same as reality. But she found that the mother there wanted to put buttoned eyes on her and leave her in that world forever... The story of Caroline's escape begins.
It's a stop-and-go thriller fantasy animation and a black fairy tale based on Neil Gaiman's novella of the same name. But the story is full of imagination, the picture is rich and delicate, and it also tells the children a truth: parents may not seem to care about you so much at times, but they are the people who love you the most. Those who do everything in your power to please and obey you must have other intentions. Friendly reminder: The story is slightly scary and not suitable for young children.
