I have always been puzzled why Burton hates cats so much. It is said that Burton’s personality is withdrawn and neurotic in his childhood. Generally, children with this personality like cats very much. Not gregarious, but on the contrary, the best friend of the protagonist who has Burton's shadow - Victor - is a dog who looks very ugly (whether before death or after resurrection, I think so). In fact, this is not once or twice. In Burton's other works, the image of cats is not popular, such as the Cheshire cat who looks like a cleft lip in "Alice in Wonderland". Fortunately, this The cat is still a positive character in this film, but I guess this is due to the limitations of the original book, so there can't be a dramatic reversal of the plot and finally say that the cat is an undercover agent sent by the queen. Another film, "The Nightmare Before Christmas", in which Jack Skeleton's pet is also a dog, and the cat once again acts as a scary monster. In "Scientific Good Dog", this is even more vividly reflected, first suggesting that the cat has some kind of predictive ability (which is generally not a good thing), as if all disasters are caused by him (I really feel bad for him on this point. , just like "Carrie the Witch", having superpowers is always rejected); then he accidentally discovered that the dead dog was resurrected, and was chased by the corpse in a panic (so pitiful, hey); A lot of evil experiments were unexpectedly turned into a new generation of Batman. Finally, he was buried in the windmill in "Sleepy Hollow" and became the biggest victim of the film. I thought he would be like a rat and a turtle. Sla recovered like that, but Uncle Burton didn't give him that kind of sympathy, leaving him dead without a corpse.
All that is said is that Burton suffered similar traumas as a child (just as I don't like dogs because I was bitten by one of my own white Pekingese when I was five), and It may be hinted at by classic jokes such as Edgar Allan Poe's "Black Cat". According to Freud's theory, childhood shadows can affect a person's character and accompany him throughout his life. Thus, in Burton's films, some dark and evil characters are unwittingly crowned poor cats.
