As a Burton's own nostalgic production, I think it is still relatively good-looking, as always, with the gothic style, the weird concept, and the creative character production. That segment about using the cat's poo poo as a language was really creative. Making the poodle next door white and black is a nod to Frankenstein.
It can only be said that Burton's small ideas are still there, but the overall ideas are not as good as before, and they can no longer give us the kind of impact in The Nightmare Before Christmas or Edward Scissorhands.
And the strongest feeling this movie gave me was, let the dog go....
it's all dead...
it's starting to rot, okay...
he's got flies, okay...
it's dead again Alive and then die...
let's just let it die...
I have to say, Lao Mei's beliefs are really different from ours. If Chinese movies recruit such a thing from the tomb, how bad it would be!
Although this film is a little bit creatively inspired by Frankenstein, I feel that after seeing almost all of Burton's films for so many years, I feel that this Frankenweenie is still very precious. Because after a lapse of many years, I finally have the feeling of seeing Burton's own voice in the movie, and the last time I had such a strong feeling was when I watched Edward Scissorhands. If Edward was a young Burton, Victor in Frankenweenie is a reflection of his childhood. As a Burton loyal fan, I was very moved to see this feeling.
Just...
can you let that dog go...
