"Vincent Malloy is seven years old

He's always polite and does what he's told

For a boy his age, he's considerate and nice

But he wants to be just like Vincent Price."

Edward Scissorhands

"Well, a long time ago an inventor lived in that mansion. He made many things, I suppose. He also created a man. He gave him inside, a heart, a brain, everything. Well, almost everything. You see, the inventor was very old. He died before he got to finish the man he invented. So the man was left by himself, incomplete and all alone."

                                                               

Tim Burton's Tragic Toys

     I had such an amazing time at LACMA's Tim Burton exhibit that I decided to bring a few little friends home with me! This is Robot Boy, Stain Boy, and The Girl with Many Eyes. Each is created by Tim Burton and has its own story. Hope you enjoy! 

"Robot Boy" by Tim Burton:

Mr. and Mrs. Smith had a wonderful life.

They were a normal, happy husband and wife.

One day they got news that made Mr. Smith glad.

Mrs. Smith would be a mom

which would make him the dad!

But something was wrong with their bundle of joy.

It wasn't human at all,

it was a robot boy!

He wasn't warm and cuddly

and he didn't have skin.

Instead there was a cold, thin layer of tin.

There were wires and tubes sticking out of his head.

He just lay there and stared,

not living or dead.

The only time he seemed alive at all

was with a long extension cord

plugged into the wall.

Mr. Smith yelled at the doctor,

"What have you done to my boy?

He's not flesh and blood,

he's aluminum alloy!"

The doctor said gently,

"What I'm going to say

will sound pretty wild.

But you're not the father

of this strange looking child.

You see, there still is some question

about the child's gender,

but we think that its father

is a microwave blender."

The Smith's lives were now filled

with misery and strife.

Mrs. Smith hated her husband,

and he hated his wife.

He never forgave her unholy alliance:

a sexual encounter

with a kitchen appliance.

And Robot Boy

grew to be a young man.

Though he was often mistaken

for a garbage can.

"Stain Boy" by Tim Burton:

Of all the super heroes,

the strangest one by far,

doesn't have a special power,

or drive a fancy car.

next to Superman and batman, I guess he must seem tame.

But to me he is quite special,

and Stain Boy is his name.

He can't fly around tall buildings,

or outrun a speeding train,

the only talent he seems to have

is to leave a nasty stain.

Sometimes I know it bothers him,

that he can't run or swim or fly,

and because of this one ability,

his dry cleaning bill is sky-high.

"The Girl with Many Eyes" by Tim Burton:

One day in the park

I had quite a surprise.

I met a girl

who had many eyes.

She was really quite pretty

(and also quite shocking!)

and I noticed she had a mouth,

so we ended up talking.

We talked about flowers,

and her poetry classes,

and the problems she'd have

if she ever wore glasses.

It's great to know a girl

who has so many eyes,

but you really get wet

when she breaks down and cries.

Nightmare Before Christmas

Jack:
My dearest friend,
if you don't mind
I'd like to join you by your side

Jack and Sally:
Where we could gaze into the stars
and sit together, now and forever
for it is plain, as anyone can see,
We're simply meant to be 

Lil' Batman

Sweeney Todd- "By the Sea"

"By the sea, Mr. Todd, that's the life I covet,
By the sea, Mr. Todd, ooh, I know you'd love it!
You and me, Mr. T, we could be alone
In a house wot we'd almost own,
Down by the sea!
Wouldn't that be smashing?"

Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog

"A lot of guys ignore the laugh, and that's about standards. I mean, if you're gonna get into the Evil League of Evil, you have to have a memorable laugh. What, do you think Bad Horse didn't work on his whinny.... His terrible death-whinny [shudders]." ~ Dr. Horrible

"Even in the darkness

every color can be found

and every day rain brings water

flowing to things growing 

in the ground." ~ Penny
