Another one of Tim Burton's brilliant works

Rating: 9/10 (30 December 2007)

Tim Burton may have flubbed with the remake of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Big Fish, but he certainly pulled no punches with this! If you liked Nightmare Before Christmas (NBC), you're going to love this! Let me count the ways: - More stop-motion animation! Difficult to do, VERY time consuming, and definitely a labor of love in this movie as well.

Definitely a very cute, Gothic-y romance story - heavier on the romance than NBC, but it goes every bit as deep into the underworld atmosphere in this movie as they did with Halloween Town, and in some places, explained it further.

Excellent musical score! - Gorgeous sets and Victorian atmosphere! - You'll definitely become attached to the characters - I won't give away the ending, but rest assured, you won't be disappointed! Bottom line, I found no flaws with this movie. Not something for the youngest children to go to, but if you're a fan of Tim Burton, animation, NBC, or just in need of a a romance film without excess sappiness, this just may be the film for you. Definitely worth your time!
