My Opinion of the movie

I honestly loved this movie because I love Tim Burton and everything that he does in his movies. He makes the greatest characters in the universe in this movie. He makes them likable. Tim Burton is such a good story teller.  To be honest with you I didn't think that they would be able to get the love from Jack and Sally in the Movie, but they did. It just goes to show you that you shouldn't tamper with something that doesn't belong to you. Lastly, I think that all the music in the movie was amazing I wish I could put it all on here for you guys to listen to.

And of course my favorite song from the movie
