I guess I was expecting something weird, strange, and different from Tim Burton and that's definitely what I got with this one. The story is a little messy and brings about some questions but the fantasy of time travel makes up for it. I liked the creepy aspects--zombie dolls fighting and monsters eating eyeballs?!-- and the visual effects. And, of course, there is a very hopeful message. A fun little diversion.
