Burton, in the USA Today:

"It seemed like a nice companion piece to Nightmare. There are more human characters in this one, which was a little harder to do in that medium, but we feel like we've worked it out."

"We're still working the story out. We're being as improvisational with an animated film as you can be."

Anybody else see this?

I like Tim Burton movies and this was no exception.

Yes saw it on Saturday night and loved it. It isn't on the level of Nightmare, but a sweet story none the less.

Oh yeah my girlfriend was teary eyed at the end.

So my guess is that it will be a DVD to own

 

[D-Dogg]

Can't wait to see it.

saw it last night on DVD. It was cool, but extremely predictable story after the first 10 minutes or so, and what's with it being just a hair over an hour long? This is a movie, not a TV episode. I'm getting really tired of hollywood making movies this short. 1:13? yuck.

How many animated movies do you watch?? Most of them are between an hour and an hour and a half.

not many

Cars is 116 minutes though. Pretty long for an animated flick, no? That's a cool half hour longer than Burton's movie.

That is actually very long for an animated movie.

I don't know if you liked Nightmare before Christmas, but that movie was the same length as Corpse Bride (76 minutes). The first Toy Story was 81 minutes, the second just over 90. Little Mermaid was 83 minutes and Aladdin was 90. And those were 3d and 2d animation, not stop-motion, which is much more difficult and strenuous to do.
