my daughter and i are tim burton/johnny depp fans, and when we went to see alice, we both pointed out the tree as the one from sleepy hollow. allot of tims stuff shows up in other movies. the top of the carousel in beetlejuice was later used as a model for jack skellingtons head.

Just another Burton´s cliche….

What do you expect? They’re both Tim Burton movies. That curved willow is one of his trade marks, as are black and white stripes(Beatlejuice, Tweedledee/Tweedledum, etc), insomnia eyes, pale skin, most of his movies begin by showing something being made (candy bars, meat pies, etc.)

Tim Burton has a whole exhibit where he features artwork and film work at MoMA in NYC until April. He works visually outside the forum of motion picture.

The angle difference is because the pictures are from different angles. And there is a large hole that is the same shape and in the same place. Alice fell into hell, or did the horseman come from Underland?

I see what you’re saying, but it stopped being quirky because he didn’t change it when it became popular. It’s his style. Van Gogh didn’t change his method of painting after people saw his work, and yet people still marvel at his technique.

I know that’s a bit of a stretch for a comparison, but you catch my drift.

Burton’s forte is his visual aesthetic, not his screenwriting. It always has been — that’s his art, but there is really no other way to present it other than in the form of a motion picture.

Not a coincidence at all. Both are directed by Tim Burton. It very likely is the same set piece.

How about you watch all Tim Burton Movies. He connects all of them with at least one thing from a prior movie. even in Batman the Light bulb at the party looks like Jack Skellington.

totally…even seeing Jack in James and the Giant Peach! That was great!!
No one has mentioned Henry Selick–who is actually the art director!! Take it up with him, too!

Tim loves Roald Dahl–obviously!!
Me too

Dohh, Tim always uses the same kind of stuff… He opened both Sleepy Hollow and Nightmare Before Christmas with pumpkinheaded scarecrows.

By: Jon

Jon — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 21:56:23 +0000

well, considering they’re both tim burton films, i would expect some similarities in style.

just shows you how unoriginal Time Burton is. if your looking for teeny poser-bizzare go to Tim Burton, if your looking for original weirdness eerie bizzare go to David Lynch. . . a true artist.

Meh, he found a equation that sells and now repeats it over and over again. I used to like him a lot, but now you see one movie and saw them all. Calling this kind of thing signature is senseless, artistic work is suposed to innovate and this “homenage” thing is reaching ridilicous heights.

I’m not suprised. EVERY tree looks like that when you drop acid.

Might have something to do with the fact that Tim Burton did both movie… duh.

By: Kelly

Tim Burton has certain trademarks in all his films! There is also always a tower in each of his films… Alot of his films also have characteristics reminiscent of his previuos movies!

Tim is losing his creativity. xD

Both made my tim burton, yes?

By: Bridge

Really, they may be the same tree, both being Tim Burton movies, they may have reused props. So, i would say definitly a look-a-like

By: 142978

142978 — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 15:26:28 +0000

lol, it’s true, I’ve seen The Black Cauldron, and that was not a good movie despite having Tim Burton’s fingerprints all over it.

well yeah, tim burton did both of those movies

By: ISnoodBear

Yeah, you have to love a director that pays homage to himself. Ballsy artistic choice.

Actually Burton hired the same actor to play the tree in both.

The trees do look eerily similar.

By: Sally

Yes! That is what I wanted to say.
Thank you for being eloquent enough to word it properly.

Haha, are you kidding?
You serious must be blind – no offence intended, but how can you say Tim USED to be talented? He’s a friggin legend! He’s so damn talented, and Johnny and Helena are part of his signiture. They haven’t been in every single one of his films, and they have to fight for the parts as people asume they will be in the film. Also, Tim brings to light many new actors, such as Mia W and Edward Sanders.

The angle the tree bends at is different, the indentation at the top of the tree is bigger with sleepy hollow, the branches are all different, and the structure of the tree’s surface is different.

Really, the only thing they have in common is the fact that they bend at a relatively sharp angle.

So no. No look-alikes.

in that they’re both… trees?

Can it count as homage if it’s a tribute to himself, though?

Its Tim Burton not Tom but it was probably just a typing accident i is right next to o after all.
