I wonder if history will be kinder to this film in a few more years. Selick is now recognized as much more than being a Burton clone, which is certainly how I saw him way back when this was released. My initial impression was that this was a pretty good film about two unlikeable characters (Monkeybone and B. Fraser's characters were both annoying to me). But I liked the world and effects. I should watch it again to see what I think now.
