IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO NOTICED THIS
I’ve been cheated my whole life.
“Every story has a beginning, a middle, and an end. Not necessarily in that order.” - Tim Burton.
WHAT
Wait… What?!
This is bullshit. This is bullshit. Stop. Please. This is a massive peeve of mine so I’m actually going to chime in here.
The narrative of frankenweenie is supposed to take place during the 1950s. Notice that victor is a child. The narrative of corpse bride takes place about a century before that. The victor in this film is an adult. Although Tim and his themes exist blatantly in these, and more of his films, please stop trying to be pseudo intellectual and insist you’ve uncovered some hidden secret. Tim expresses a lot of his stifled childhood in his films, and these lanky dark haired protagonists with a canine companion are representative of that. THAT is the connection you’re looking for. You’re seeing Tim. You’re seeing his childhood dog. And not to come off as an elitist prick, although I’m going to anyway, if Tim intended for this to be an interwoven storyline, the details would sync up so much better with so much more consistency. Thank you.
