It's not that it looks bad, exactly (although I still want to know why they went with American actors). But I think the original illustrator, longtime Gaiman collaborator Dave McKean, played a major role in making the story genuinely creepy. Behold:
As it is, the movie looks adorable-creepy*, and I think it will lend itself to all kinds of merchandising tie-ins, but that wasn't the look I was hoping for.
*Just like director Henry Selick's earlier works, The Nightmare Before Christmas and James and the Giant Peach.
