As much as I enjoyed the movie I must say I was absolutely amazed watching the special features portion to see what wonderful mechanical marvels the puppets, especially for the main characters, actually were.
Watching the movie I would have never guessed such workmanship went into the creations, but after seeing how it did I can see how they managed to pull off such a feat, all while using the oft considered obsolete form of stop-motion animation.
This movie could certainly have been produced (a whole lot easier and cheaper) using CGI, but I'm certainly glad they didn't. My hats off to Mr. Burton and the entire crew who made such a masterpiece come to life.
As an afterthought; I'm guessing the puppets used in the movie would bring a small fortune on e-bay.
