Everything about Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is meant to be a rejuvenating family reunion for Tim Burton, a therapeutic move that has, by his own account, reinvigorated his love for filmmaking. Going back to the film that helped make him a superstar 36 years ago, he got back together with many of his closest artistic allies, most notably some of his favorite actors: Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, and Catherine O'Hara.
'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice' Has Reinvigorated Tim Burton as a Filmmaker Close In all seriousness, Burton's refusal to fall back on the safety of old characters is a good sign for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. One of the common criticisms of Burton in the past 20 years is the feeling that he constantly retreated to his comfort zone, leaving his work to seem relatively unambitious, as he was content to plaster his visual filter over old material for a big box office.
His decision to move on from established characters and try to explore new dynamics is a sign that he's more confident in himself as an artist than he's seemingly been in a long time. With Burton himself expressing how low his spirits were after the disastrous release of Dumbo, he knew he needed to find a way to throw caution to the wind and remind himself why he loved making films in the first place.
