Even a love story. My favorite animated film. Tim Burton's the king of creativity. The visuals are outstanding, plot is original and inventive and the characters are wonderful. I have nothing against musicals, but the songs in this film are not very good.
Orchestrations are fine, but melodically tunes are very mediocre.
Most of the time story doesn't move ahead because everyone's just singing happily. I have to admit I didn't like Dumbo either, for the very same reason. Nightmare is not a bad film, but it just doesn't deliver for me. A straight face for this one. A very well made film.
