Thankfully they left out the chicken part.
The chicken part was not in the book, I might add. Or the 2005 Tim Burton adaptation, for that matter.
This is modeled after the 70s movie. The book describes the boat as being made of pink glass and was large enough for 100 Oompa Loompa oar rowers.
And now for some hot takes: The old movie was way better than the book. The new movies are complete trash. Tim Burton hasn't been involved in a good firm since 1990.
1992 - Batman Returns
1993 - The Nightmare Before Christmas
1994 - Ed Wood
1996 - Mars Attacks! (starting to get a little kooky, even by Burton standards, but I'll stand by this one)
2003 - Big Fish (his last good movie)
What, no Corpse Bride?
I'm going to update my statement: the only film of his that I still like is Beetlejuice. I'm sure there are people that like many of his movies and that's fine, I've just learned I'm not one of them, especially when Depp is involved.
Not a fan of leaky Penguin or Catwoman licking herself and eating a bird.
Nightmare Before Christmas I'm so tired of. It got commercialized to shit. But sure, I'll give you I enjoyed my first watch.
Haven't seen Ed Wood, but Burton/Depp is a turn off for me. Otherwise it looks like it might be fun.
Mars Attacks I just didn't enjoy.
Big Fish I haven't seen, but I just watched the trailer and I'm not really interested in that kind of story. Apparently I'm also tired of Danny Elfman.
