Really nice recommendations! I think Paranorman is a near-masterpiece, and easily Laika's best work. Might check out '31' and 'Dumplings' now.

I've never seen the feature-length Dumplings, as I did see Three Extremes and felt the shortened version of it there got the point across.

and if you want to watch the Wishbone Legend of Sleepy Hollow, it's on YouTube!

“The Last Horror Movie” is a grim mockumentary that breaks the fourth wall in a sinister and unsettling fashion. Also, “May” is a haunting movie about an awkward young woman who is driven mad by loneliness…also worth watching.

I love May for very personal reasons -- a lot of dear friends made that movie, and it'll forever be a regret of mine that I didn't get involved because I'd just been hired for my first major film critic job.
