Re: Movie Club Discussion!

2. Who was your favorite character in the movie? Your least favorite character? Why?

Sally, but that's because I have a particular thing for patchwork girls. Jack and Oogie are fun as hell, too. The mayor's literal two-facedness is a fun bit of designwork, but as a character he's pretty boring.

3. What was your favorite scenes? Your least favorite? Why?

My favourite was probably Oogie messing with Santa, because his song is catchy, and the faux-black light design was gorgeous. Least favourite, pretty much anything with Dr Finkelstein. I grant that Sally wouldn't really have anything of an arc without them, but I just don't like him - his type always bug me. At least he was only tertiary.

4. What did you think of the soundtrack and/or score?

I love it. This is Halloween, What is This, Kidnap the Sandy Claws, and Oogie Boogie's Song get caught in my head all the goddamn time. Danny Elfman is a goddamn genius, and the performers do well - even the ones who aren't great singers are given songs where they don't need to be (or even where it would be a detriment - specifically Kidnap the Sandy Claws).

5. What did you think of the production (cinematography, editing, costuming, etc.)?

It is gorgeous. I know Tim Burton's aesthetic isn't to everyone's taste, and over-saturation has caused a lot of people who would otherwise like it to tire of it, but I think even those two groups would agree that this movie needed it (even if it hadn't been developed from his idea to begin with).

Yeah, the mayor was an okay gag but he was pretty meh to watch.

I wonder if Oogie Boogie was the first villain to have that kind of villain scene? I am pretty sure both The Princess and The Frog AND Moana had villains who also had a black light design scene. Hell, now that I think of it their music styles were similar!

I thought the aesthetic worked great in this. But I generally enjoy most of his older work. I actually love how it was inspired by things like Edward Gorey's work.

I suspect Oogie wasn't the first villain to have a black light styled scene (it seems like something that would have been done back in the 60s or 70s, when black light first got big), but he may well have been the first cartoon.

Funny you should mention Gorey...a book of his art I bought years ago just resurfaced... But, yeah, his influence on Burton is pretty clear.
