Personally, I could care less about a remake of Alice in Wonderland. But for those who might enjoy it... I am sure Burton will find a way to uniquely destroy it.

The guy may somehow still be riding on the fame of Scissor-hands, but from that film on... Burtonized films have been as fun to look at as he is.

To each his own, cheapshot. I absolutely loved Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, thought Sweeny Todd was genius, and can not wait to see his Alice. If you're not a Burton fan, however, I expect you won't like this either. He's not likely to change his formula at this stage.

Personally, I haven't cared for any of Burton's stop-motion movies, but his live action ones are usually mesmerizing. Sweeney Todd was absolutely wonderful. I have high hopes for Burton's version of Alice, but not for Syfy's.

I have been a fan of Tim Burton's work since I was nine years old in 1991 watching his animated version of Beetlejuice. It was so surreal and I completely related to Lydia. Not the emo Goth that is Lydia of the Beetlejuice movie but to the young girl who happens to have a love of all things horror and Gothic while still feeling other emotions besides grief. In fact there's an emo parody in the animated Beetlejuice, long before such a personality was called Emo. The character of Prince Vince whom evolved out of Tim Burton's Vincent.

I love almost all of Tim Burton's work. I love the choice in colour schemes, the surreal slightly askew quality, the lovable and strangely innocent outsider protagonists.

The only Tim Burton film I don't like is his Remake of Planet of the Apes. It lost all meaning. The original ending had depth and meaning. Burton's was a twist for the sake of a twist. I don't think even Tim Burton liked his Planet of the Apes.

When I was eleven in 1993 I was obsessed with Nightmare before Christmas. It was obscure for most of the nineties and the toys were hard to find. When it became trendy around 2000 or so I felt something important was lost. They liked it but they didn't really get it. They didn't appreciate the art involved, the haunting scoring, the sweetness of it. For them it was like a brand name logo.

I love Tim Burton's work and I'm really looking forward to his Dark Shadows.

Tim Burton is a genius. You either "get" his movies, or you don't. It's not that he's so good at telling stories - which he is, of course - but it's HOW he tells his stories.

I never, ever felt that he "cashed in". He still does things as he see them - lucky for the rest of us.

The thing I like the most, is that his movies are visually stunning, and if you want, you can go to just watch. But if you turn on your mind, and look, and listen, you experience his films in a whole new way - which is what I think he is trying to achieve.

I think he could make a movie about grass growing, and I'd go see it just to see how he makes it interesting.

Couldn't have said it better myself, Mandy. I've also read some of the books. I can't quite picture Depp as Barnabas, but I know he'll pull it off and astound us all as he usually does.

...and yet he still can't find a comb...

Combs are against his religion. Don't you know Tim Burton isn't the geinus, the over-sized rabid tribble living on his head is the genius. Burton is just the host it feeds on. :-P

My vote for best comment of the week:)

I personally am ambivalent about his work. Most of his work I have liked, but I thought he butchered Batman (although admittedly not as bad as some of the followups, which hopefully we can now forget about with Nolan's Batman being so much better).

Happy Thanksgiving!

Tim Burton is very imaginative, but his success lies in his patience and his drive to complete whatever he starts; and the fact that he is very imaginative.

Alice in Wonderland is one of those stories that has never been realised in a movie the way the author intended it to be. Robert Zemeckis said something simmilar about A Christmas Carol. Hopefully with the technology we have Burton can bring justice to the novel.

I am watching it again, a repeat. It's a wonderful movie. I personally hated the story and all the movies I saw when I was a kid. Now I fell in love with this new look at an old story. Thank you, Tim.
