While I do like the movie just fine, I actually really like the soundtrack. I'll find myself listening to the wonderful Danny Elfman songs way more often than watching the movie, which I actually rarely do.
Our DD LOVES it. Says it's because of the neat stop-motion animation. I had to inform her that Ray Harryhausen was the expert in that technique in the 50s.
While in DLR a few weeks ago, we were in line for Snow White with a family who had a 10 or 12 yr old boy. He had just gotten a Mayor's Car Popcorn Bucket and he was just fascinated with it.
I really like the movie. Saw it in the theater when it first came out. We watch it almost every year. Very creative. But DH & I usually like all of Tim Burton's creations...they all have similar elements - something poignant, something odd, something that pulls a little at your heart strings, something that makes you laugh, something that makes you go, "WTH?!"
I feel like I want to like it. I turn it on every year with the kids and end up browsing my phone about 10 minutes in. I do like some scenes and some songs but don’t really know the whole movie and get bored with it pretty easy.
