Anyone who has followed Tim Burton's career closely over the years would quickly recognise his hand in the gorgeous stop motion sequence included in Wednesday season 2. The filmmaker's unique character design and love for gothic and horror elements (which echoes previous works like his 1982 animated short Vincent and 2005's film Corpse Bride) is all over the scene, which is featured in the first episode of the new season on Netflix.
"I've always loved the medium, the tactile quality of it, and it's an important element to telling the story, what it's about", Burton said in an amazing behind-the-scenes video about the sequence, which you can see below. "I really enjoyed every day with it, because it was fun and creative, seeing these puppets come to live, there is something very magical about it," he added.
