does anyone else think edward scissorhands could have been partially inspired by the enigma of kaspar hauser? its that basic idea of a boy being locked away for his whole life and then awkwardly and hilariously emerging into society.

I can definitely see a strong connection, though not so much that I'd guess Sissorhands was inspired by this movie. I'd guess Sissorhands was more likely inspired by Pinocchio or Frankenstein.
