Animated one just never hit the same. Still can't believe this was truly Burton. His best kids movie that wasn't just piggybacking Selick.

A sweat but charming spooky short film with heartfelt message but very low budget in the best way possible, Duvall & Stern & Oliver shines

Had to watch in school but I remember enjoying it. I think I prefer earlier Tim Burton compared to some of his more current work.

An okay early Tim Burton short movie. Worth watching once maybe if you really want to I guess.

Glad this was fleshed out, easy to see Burton’s eye for style and detail even so early on
