Planet of the Apes: 1 line theme ×1

  1. theme (tonal echo): Planet of the Apes → Beetlejuice. The ape dinner-party scene is the one moment that feels like Burton, like Beetlejuice with apes.

  1. craft (craft): The Twilight Saga: Eclipse → Beetlejuice. The mountain-top set looks like a hobby-town model, like the tabletop in Beetlejuice.

contrast (1)

  1. contrast (contrast of villainy): Wendell and Wild → Beetlejuice. Unlike Beetlejuice, who is purely malevolent, Wendell and Wild are babes in the wood whose ulterior motive is an amusement park.
    “Unlike Beetlejuice who like operates from a place of like pure malevolence, right?”
