Norman Babcock



Norman Babcock (voiced by Kodi Smit-Mcphee) is the main character of the movie ParaNorman.

Norman is an 11-year-old boy who can both see and talk to ghosts. Not even his own family believes in his gifts, which makes him an outcast. He doesn't mind this, seeing as he isn't very keen on being an incast anyway and finds most living people 'vastly overrated'. Norman soon learns that his gift makes him the only one who can save his town from an ancient zombie-summoning curse.
