Seems to Get Better with Time

Rating: 8/10 (2 May 2020)

The strange world of director Tim Burton and composer Danny Elfman is actually a combination of Halloween and Christmas-a dream come true for children, or rather, a nightmare come true. The music is engaging, the characters intriguing, and this has become a classic that continues to delight audiences year after year. ---from Musicals on the Silver Screen, American Library Association, 2013
