A painter who couldn't sell her art married another painter whose art wasn't as good but he was a good businessman, he made her art go viral but as a result, he was credited as the creator... and then some other things happen but I won't spoil.
It's a drama with slight fantasy elements.

It's been done. Probably most animatronics used now are digitally smoothed. The one good thing NuWars did was use a lot of 'enhanced' animatronics. And Kubo and the two strings is basically one huge CG enhanced stop motion love fest.

I did like much of Kubo. Had an incredible first act.

Dark Shadows wasn't too long ago. Its the best big budget film Burton has made since Batman Returns.

We’re going to have to agree to disagree here because I personally found Dark Shadows to be fucking awful, but I will concede that it has narrative structural problems that pervade almost all of Burton’s films, even those from the glory days, but at least those had the benefit of his aesthetic not being tiresome at that point

But Big Eyes just isn't that interesting.
Big Fish was good though.
Really? I don't remember that one getting a good reception at all, although the trailer did have a few funny moments.

Yeah, I saw Big Eyes and it was a profoundly disappointing experience seeing as it reunited Burton with the Ed Wood screenwriters. Perhaps I allowed my expectations to grow too high, but let’s not pretend that it’s any less uninspired than Burton’s big budget misfires as of late. That being said, the courtroom sequence is one of the best directed scenes of Burton’s career, so it’s a damn shame the rest of it didn’t have the energy of that sequence. And why the fuck did they have that tabloid reporter ask as a narrator when he barely participated in the main narrative? They could have deleted that voiceover and it would have had no bearing on the movie.

I don't know anybody who likes the Burton Dark Shadows movie, but the 60s soap opera still has a fanbase.

Have to say Mike's take on uncle joe being the closest thing the movie has to an antagonist was an interesting angle that I never thought of before but makes a lot of sense

It's been a theory for a while. How'd he get the 2nd Wonka bar if he's been bedridden for decades?

Your post just made me realize that Grandpa Joe has a strong resemblance to Grandad from Only Fools and Horses and now I want a 'Rodney and the Chocolate Factory' Only Fools special and am sad that it cannot and will not ever happen.

I confess to never seeing the whole movie because what I saw of Depp in the trailers was too irritating.
The movie's visual style was pretty cool but Depp just totally dropped the ball.

Before anyone brings it up. The actor who played Grandpa Joe, Jack Albertson, has long 'coke' nails on his pinkies because he was a banjo player. Though if you want a fun fanon, Grandpa Joe himself may have been a coke fiend.
Carrie Fisher in ROTJ, however, pure coke nails.

he was... okay?
his character was better reacting to other characters, but just bleh when on his own
tbh, if i made my own version, i would have it like the old one for outside the factory (the real world is dry, average.) , and the new one for inside the factory (the factory is colorful and interesting).
wonka would be sort of depp with the childlikeness, but keep gene's strangeness and sarcasm. play it off like he's either naive or actually sarcastic.
keep the elfman songs, but also have i want it now (best song from that movie)
expand a bit on grandpa joe working at the factory
remove the whole wonka's dad subplot
mike has to be the old one where he's a stupid kid who's glued to the tv, the new is way too smart for me to hate (his song is about how TV makes you dumb, but he's actually quite smart)
violet's parent should be the father just because he's so damn sleazy
mike's parent should be the mother (YOU CALL THAT UNHARMED?!)
veruca's parent should be a mixture of both movie's fathers
we don't really need cheer up charlie
that's all i can think of atm.
i'm not 100% sure if slugworth and the everlasting gobstoppers should be kept

It’s not just Depp’s borderline Lolcow performance as The love child of Jesse Eisenberg and Jared Leto that’s wrong with the Burton version of Wonka: A big part of Wonka’s appeal is that you never know how much of his personality is an act and how much is genuine. Delving into Wonkas psychology and giving him a concrete backstory just ruins the character.
