The film is a lot like a superhero movie, only with more characters than the audience expected, tortured antiheroes, irrational savages, and noble demigods. The film is not about how these wounded children save the world, but how they are saved. The film succeeds in blending the strange and the unusual, and the entire adventure is entertaining, clever, and fun. The film chooses to focus on style rather than content, focusing on portraying the coolness of children's abilities, rather than portraying the complete image of these children; compared with Burton's best works, the protagonist of the film needs more emotion, and so does the villain monster. Sharper teeth. "Miss Pey's Fantasy Castle" is neither dark, funny nor the Tim Burton weirdness that everyone expects. But the movie is still worth watching.

  • Franklin Portman: [Sees a bird flying above the boat] Wow! Jake, check it out. That's a peregrine falcon.

    Jake: A peregrine like the headmistress?

    Franklin Portman: Sure... That's probably where Grandpa came up with that whole turning into a bird thing.

    Jake: Maybe - Maybe that's really her!
