From Tim Burton comes Edward Scissorhands, an unforgettable fairy tale starring Johnny Depp, Wynona Ryder, Dianne Wiest and Vincent Price as the Inventor. Once upon a time in a castle high on a hill lived an inventor whose greatest creation was named Edward. Although Edward had an irresistible charm, he wasn’t quite perfect. The inventor’s sudden death left him unfinished, with sharp shears of metal for hands. Edward lived alone in the darkness until one day a kind Avon lady took him home to live with her family. And so began Edward’s fantastical adventures in a pastel paradise known as Suburbia.
“One-of-a-kind fairytale for adults from director Tim Burton.” – Leigh Paatsch, Herald Sun (Australia)
“Burton’s modern fairytale has an almost palpably personal feel: it is told gently, subtly and with infinite sympathy for an outsider who charms the locals but then inadvertently arouses their baser instincts.” – Marc Lee, Daily Telegraph (UK)
“A delightful and delicate comic fable.” – Variety
“Mr. Burton invests awe-inspiring ingenuity into the process of reinventing something very small.” – Janet Maslin, New York Times
