I LOVE this film...
...it warrants its own DVD release - not just being added as extras on NBX.
Really, really wish they would make "The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy" into a film...
What? No! We can't stop here! This is bat country!
I want to buy that book soon, real soon (loves Amazon, loves copy of NMbfC, EdW SHands and Ed Wood, like PotApes, kinda)
If you like Burton, you might like Amelie, I found them both similar in the way they like to mix fantasy and reality into ordinary circumstances and the use of missfit characters. Amelie was really an uplifting film for me. Besides, in what other film can you see a goldfish attempt suicide?
Actually I think "Amélie" and "Big Fish" are quiet similiar, but Tims pre-BF-movies are just too dark to be compared to "Amélie".
And "Vincent" is really great. It's Tims first short which established his whole style which he kept doing until now. The narration of Vincent Price is creepy and the Tims poem awesome.
Tim could do a short sequel or perhaps even a whole animated feature film about Vincent Malloy.
This calls for some divine intervention!
in response to heinsbergens post, i realy think a whole film about vincent would spoil the original one. not sure why, i just think it would.
shareI really liked Vincent too, you've got all these themes: being an outsider, living in your own world, and of course the kooky darkness...all recurring things that come up in Burton's later works, I agree it's sorta his style-setter.
Why? Why would I want that? Why would I want bubblegum?
I'd have to agree with scuz_girl69. I think a whole movie about Vincent would spoil the first one. And besides, Vincent Price wouldn't be able to voice the thing andI think the 5-minute Vincent had a very distinct ending.
