Personally, I love Tim Burton and I think his films have a LOT of content, the Corpse Bride makes me choke every time and think the story is wonderful ... Edward Scissorhands is a brilliant film about how society treats novelties - love 'em when they benefit from them but quickly can turn to hate when he makes one odd mistake ... (much like what Mr Nutt in UA is afraid of happening!) His Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was WAY better than the Gene Wilder film (they kept the poetry that Roald Dahl wrote rather than change the words which is what they did in the '70s film) - Big Fish is another film I love - a bit strange but the way at the end the father and son make-up before he dies through the nature of story telling - beautiful! Beetlejuice was a childhood favourite.
Aside from his appalling James and the Giant Peach I think he is wonderful.
I adore Tim Burton, I adore Johnny Depp, and I adore Alice In Wonderland... Alan Rickman is in it to, as is Helena Bonham Carter (she would be wouldn't she?) Christopher Lee ...
I would love to see this at the Cinema but I guess I would have to wait until the DVD release ... :x
Another thing I love about TB is his wackiness. It appeals to my eccentricity. LONG LIVE TIM BURTON!
