even though it was very dark and creepy ( not really ) it was so funny how he wanted to be like vincent price...!!! AND VINCENT PRICE NARRATED THIS SHABANG!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

Yeah, this was a funny film in my opinion because Vincent could have wanted to be like Superman or Neil Armstrong or something but he chose Vincent Price.I think that Vincent lives somewhere deep inside of all of us.....

Yeah, I think everyone secretly wants to be like Vincent Price - at least all the folks on Burton boards. It's definitely a hilarious little film if you take it the right way. Delightfully evil... yes.

...Loved the Edgar Allan Poe reference, too.

I thought it was sweet, in a creepy way, specially the bite when he's reading a book and finds out about his dead wife... and he's only seven years old!

And we all have an aunt or a relative who comes to visit and grabs your cheeks while saying "you've grown so much" or "you're such a pretty girl" or stuff like that. Who wouldn't want to dip her in wax?

Vincent Price was awsome!! Wish I could've met him. Did vincent (the cartoon) look like victor (in Burton's corpse bride )to any of you as well?

really? I diddn't catch that . . . When?

[–] BoingoBrain 18 years ago

When he's talking to his wife by the fireplace, after Victor's 'run away' with Emily, i think. just before berkis sticks his ugly great chin in and offers to marry Victoria instead. Sorry if my facts are a bit screwed there, it's ages since i've seen this film.

How about Prince Vince from the Beetlejuice cartoon?

I gotta say I loved this film at first sight - the Disney Channel ran it around 1983, very soon after it was made, and it just floored me.
Vincent Price has been a favorite of mine for ages - when I was a kid I first knew him only from his writing cookbooks and selling pieces of art in the Sears catalogs (which dates me right there) - then I saw 'The Tingler' on Saturday afternoon TV and got good and scared. Oh yeah, and my name is Vincent - and known as 'Vincent Price' to other kids back then!
One of my favorite memories of the Catholic school I was in (not many good ones to pick from, mind you) was their playing 'The Pit and the Pendulum' in the gym for us.
He shows a complete other side in 'His Kind of Woman', a 1951 adventure film starring Bob Mitchum - Price plays a swashbuckler movie actor who, when he gets into real danger from mobsters, gets a big rush out of it, and leaps into action quoting Shakespeare in hilarious hammy fashion. Definitely worth catching.

I agree. This short was very sweet and funny in an admittedly ghoulish sort of way. My favorite moment is when the little boy dug up his mother's flowerbed.
