Everything, from Depp as Victor to the wonderful animation and theme of the movie is perfect for me.

Co-directed with Mike Johnson, all the ingredients of a twisted foray into Burton Land are here: the presence of the always enjoyable Johnny Depp, a Danny Elfman score, inspired visuals and a story involving the supernatural misunderstandings that cause the arranged wedding plans of the shy ...
