3D animation that looks like stop-motion

Rating: 6/10 (7 April 2006)

I am a big fan of Tim Burton's movies, but this one is missing something. You can try to put your finger on what is wrong, but there is too much things. First, and the biggest is this is not stop motion animation, it is 3D. If it is, eventually, stop motion, than its stupid. Is there any reason to for using one of the hardest ways to animate? He didn't get the Oscar for it, but Walas and Gromit did, with animation that is not so perfectly done. Second, plot is trivial. Third, Tim Burton is having such fun madding it just for himself, it looks to me that he wanted to this movie before "Nightmer" but he didn't have computers that good, like today. So if you like animated movies, this one is for you, and if you like crappy ghoulish skeleton cliché than hurry up to see it, but don't be scared. I am big fan and I give 6,5.
