"Part avant-garde art film, part amusing but morbid fairy tale, it is a delightfully ghoulish holiday musical that displays more inventiveness in its brief 73 minutes than some studios can manage in an entire year." - Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
"Working with gifted artists and designers, Burton has made a world here that is as completely new as the worlds we saw for the first time in such films as METROPOLIS, THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI or STAR WARS." - Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
