This is a classic? I don't think so!

Tim, you have to stop with the silly songs. Thinking that he's like some sort of modern day Gilbert & Sullivan, commenting on the foibles and subtle nuances of the modern day society, Tim Burton litters his movie with a series of show stopping songs (in the negative connotation of that phrase), and it takes just soooo very long to restart the movie after each one that it just kills the momentum of the movie.
So many reviews I've read have had a much higher opinion of the movie that just isn't justified by the product on the screen.
Cute story, but many of the other dead characters cried out to be played up. It's odd, but the main story was too padded, but the movie as a whole needed some additional padding. I'm not sure how he pulled that off.
