Huge Disappointment.

Rating: 3/10 (25 September 2005)

Saw the movie this afternoon and really disliked it. I've never found Burton to be a very coherent storyteller and this one reaches new lows. Part of the problem WAS the songs which, apart from being very hard to understand, were musically forgettable.
And compared to the incredible wit (visual and verbal) that Pixar has made its trademark, this movie seemed woefully unfunny. There was barely a chuckle in the theatre this afternoon.
Having said that, I did love the design of the characters, but once I realized that they weren't going to say or do anything interesting, my mind began to wander.
