MY BOOKS: https://www.mcleanamy.co.uk/ Which Movie Is Best?! SWEENEY TODD 2006 versus 2007 [OPEN FOR LINKS AND FACTS!] #SweeneyTodd #TimBurton #HelenaBonhamCarter Sweeney Todd (based on A String of Pearls by Thomas Peckett Prest) is my favourite film ever. This is partly because of my eternal love for Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter, but also because the musical songs are amazing and the story combines everything I love! Did you see the trailer and then rush out to see the full movie or buy the DVD or blu ray? I’d love to know your own reviews if you saw it in the cinema or streamed it online!
