"ParaNorman" scares up fun

UNDATED (NBC) -- The comedy thriller "ParaNorman" arrives in theaters nationwide Sunday.

Following Focus’ Academy Award-nominated "Coraline", "ParaNorman" is the second stop-motion animated feature to be made at LAIKA Studios in 3D, unifying the two stunning art forms to tell an all-new frightfully funny, magically emotional, and hilariously spooky story.

NBC talked to the movie’s directors Sam Fell and Chris Butler about balancing comedy and creepy, what it was like directing actors doing voice work, and why you should truly see this movie in 3D!
