Great Christmas movie

Rating: 9/10 (30 June 2003)

I am not a real big fan of Tim Burton. He is usually really good (Beetlejuice) or really bad (Mars Attacks!). Although he didn't direct this movie, he did write it and produce it, and it is one of his best.
The stop motion effects are very very well done. The story is excelent, and the actors worked well together and sounded like they had LOTS of fun making the movie.
As to it being too dark to be a Christmas movie (as I have seen here), well that is a matter of opinion. It is a little dark (as a lot of Burton's best movies are), but I still consider it to be a good Christmas movie. The story is all in good fun, and in the end, all sides get their way.

All in all, I would have to give it 4.5 stars out of 5. A good movie for just about anybody to see.
