I've heard rumors about this movie for a long time. I was wondering just how this remake would be pulled off, being that it is a Tim Burton movie and a lot of his movies can start bleeding together. But I was surprised that this was a sequel and not a remake. Therefore a completely new story that was quite enjoyable. The visuals are great and still a very Tim Burton style. The story was interesting but can get slow at a few parts. Maybe a little long to take young children to though (you could tell when the majority of kids got bored with the movie). I would very much recommend it if you're a fan of the off centered views of Tim Burton. If you want a Disney movie..then be cautious.
