  Like Caroline, but, jumbled up like.
  
  It is like Nightmare before Christmas meets Beetlejuice without the Charismatic super-lead of either picture.

  NOT for young children
  
  A Very dark cartoon. Not un-enjoyable, it has quite a good storyline. Teri Hatcher & Dakota Fanning are instantly recognisable voices.

  Great film, but dont be fooled by the PG rating
  
  I loved this film. But I would never dream of letting my kids (under 10) see it. The themes are very dark, the imagery ranges from creepy to grotesque.
