The first has been inspirational to many, if not direct character and scene rip offs I've seen in at least one popular online short.

I don't like musicals and find these very difficult to watch. Watched the first one 6 times now trying to digest it. The second was a bit easier and there was a lot of greatness in each individual shot.

However I find the directing, from scene to scene, to be the worst I've ever seen from what little I even understand about it. The camera jumps all over the place from one shot to the next and I never know where I am.

Maybe that's why it's so difficult to watch. Otherwise, a lot of good humour, lighting, camera angles and such that I'd almost say absolutely brilliant.

Enjoyed both films... Corpse Bride moreso...

However, I don't think Burton is a "great" director.

yeah if here were great he do something different... which in the case, i feel like he been making alice in wonderland from the start of his career, (except for batman)... hell, peewee big adventure feels like AIWL.

I don't mind his movies. I really like the visual style though, which should be quite interesting for something like Alice in Wonderland.

I was just talking with some friends recently, and we're thinking that it's only a matter of time before Tim Burton remakes The Wizard of Oz.

I hope.

I like his style, Always have. Sleepy Hollow is one of my Faves.
