I especially want to know, why would anyone choose Tim Bolton to adapt a warm, beautiful, natural and harmless children's film?
Tim Bolton is a Hollywood director with a strong personal style. He has a unique talent for movies: creating weird, creepy and creepy visual effects. If this talent is applied to dark Gothic movies, such as "The Nightmare Before Christmas" and "Edward Scissorhands", it is integrated with the subject matter and often produces wonderful chemical reactions.
However, even if he entered mainstream movies (such as "Batman Forever"), it seemed instinctive that he still couldn't resist inserting these elements bluntly into normal movies. If you follow this professional inertia in "Zombie Bride", it may be effective, but who would have thought that one day Bolton would get involved in a movie like "Dumbo"? His talent at this time brought a more violent backlash.
This approach is tantamount to hiring Hitchcock to direct "The Wizard of Oz": it's not impossible, it's just a waste of talent, and the movie is played.
When Hollywood's largest studio provides such generous conditions and opportunities, no one can blame Tim Bolton for taking this stand. But for Disney, I can't have even a little understanding, they should have known that there is a more suitable choice.
