09:57 Noticed Late: Is that a nod to Paul the Head Waiter from 'Corpse Bride'? 👀

I enjoyed your reaction very much. I wish there was an expansive documentary of the special effects. Because I am thinking even the opening epitaph film title might have been stop motion - kind of like the fireplace opening for the ghost priest was filmed (in the original film)

I ADORE Tim Burton he’s one of my favorite filmmakers! However BeatleJuice for me, ranks low amongst his filmography. I love everything about the original except for the character of BeatleJuice. He really brings that film down for me. I’m not a fan of how perverted and gross he is. Trying to look under women’s skirts, attempting to marry a teenager, I really dislike him in that first film. So I wasn’t that enthusiastic about the idea of a sequel. I felt if Tim Burton had to make a sequel to his older work, I would’ve loved to see Old man Edward Scissorhands, but I digress. They definitely toned down the perverted side of BeatleJuice. This time he reminded me much more of his animated counterpart. I actually really enjoyed his character in this film, which is something I didn’t expect. I know it wasn’t referenced but I would like the think that the animated series is canon. What I enjoy about that show, is how it subtly implies that the “friendship” between Lydia and BeatleJuice is toxic and unhealthy. Something this film definitely leans into while Contrasting it against the toxic relationship Lydia has with her fiancé. This film feels like a commentary of abusive, toxic obsessive relationships. Tim Burton has definitely matured as filmmaker since the first Beatlejuice and I know this is probably a hot take, but I loved this sequel way more than the original. You are right the lighting and visual style of this film is absolutely stunning!
