This should be a real treat!  A fantastic combination of cutting edge (for the time) CGI and Tim Burton's unleashed imagination.  It provided the perfect counterbalance to Independence Day.  And, while based on a trading card set from the 1960s, it featured a solid story filled with delightfully dark fun.
