According to the superpowers he has, a young teenager boy named Norman Babcock, who has the ability to talk with the dead and accompany them, the thing that makes him distinct from others, so he is asked to save his own country from an evil curse made by an evil witch that makes their lives in danger.
If the story lacks the consistent psychological depth of Coraline, another tale of an outcast finding solace in a parallel world, amends are made during the lovely climax.
The thrilling finale is a terrific blend of heartfelt emotion, surreal visuals and inventive ghostly spectacle, and the film's timeless message is put across in wonderfully ghoulish and surprising ways.
