    9.5/10 Beautiful yet tragic story with characters that Tim Burton’s unique style makes so easy to adore. Also one of my favorite scores of all time.

A wondrous flight of fancy, a stop-motion-animated treat brimming with imaginative characters, evocative sets, sly humor, inspired songs and a genuine whimsy that seldom finds its way into today's movies.

An endearingly schizoid Frankenstein of a movie, by turns relentlessly high-spirited and darkly poignant.

It's warped and wonderfully effervescent. Ditto the songs by Danny Elfman, who sings the role of Bonejangles, the frontman for a skeleton jazz band at a swinging underworld club. Best of all is the love story.
