Dear Veronica,
If you are reading this, and the evidence suggest you are, then you have succeeded in exhuming one of the undead stars of our new film ParaNorman. And while some may find the gift of a painstakingly hand-crafted zombie doll with posable limbs buried in the dirt to be a little weird, we suspect it's right up your alley. This is because we have a hunch that you were once like our hero, Norman, what some people like to call a weird kid. And weird kids have a way of becoming really interesting grownups. Sometimes they are lucky enough to be ushered into geekdom by parents who trained them in the fine points of toy breaking and console gaming. And maybe this leads to a passion for technology that they share tirelessly with fellow geeks in webisodes, podcasts, and convention panels. Which it turns out really is tiring, requiring them to relax and dissect fantasy fiction over a glass of blue wine. Which is all to say that we think you are a shining example of why weird wins. And in the end, that's what the movies that we make (Coraline was our first) are all about: weird kids trying to find their place in the world. You'll notice that your newly unearthed friend is sharing her grave with a selection of actual one of a kind props from ParaNorman that we've chosen for you. So when you see the film, you'll see something that's yours in it. We think this is fitting because there is a lot of you, and us, and weird kids past, present and future in Norman's story. The movie will be in theaters August 17, but in the meantime we hope you will visit WeirdWinds.com to meet some of the weird and wonderful artists and craftspeople who have brought ParaNorman to life. And we would be suitably thrilled if you added your voice to the conversation by adding the hashtag #weirdwins anywhere you share your zombie. In any case, the former Emilia Wilcot is pleased to make your acquaintance, and so are we.
