[edit] Horror?

How is this a horror? Romance/comedy/fantasy. Any of those would be fine. --66.218.28.246 02:12, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Good question. I thought this was a drama. -- Shane ^{(talk/contrib)} 00:08, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Michael Jackson

Any proof that Michael Jackson "seriously wanted the role"? Sounds fishy to me. CJHung 08:02, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] POV / Original research

Looks like there's quite a lot of unconfirmed rumours (Michael Jackson, casting, etc) and original research. AFAIK interpreting motifs and themes is only ok if it is referenced from some primary source. --62.237.40.150 17:32, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Peter Pan?

Peter Pan can hardly be called a "literary antecedent" to Edward Scissorhands, at least according to the reasons given in the article. Unless there is more evidence showing a relation between the two, I propose we delete that section.ThatKid 05:41, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Robert Smith..

There are alot of rumuors that Edward Scissorhands' look was based off of Robert Smith of the Cure (pale skin, wild hair) Maybe it should be mentioned?

[edit] Japanese dub actors

I felt like listing these because I felt they should be mentioned.

[edit] Expand?

I think the soundtrack should be integrated into the article. It contains danny elfman's favourite score, and is loved by the Edward Scissorhands community (personally, is it beautiful). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 58.178.246.85 (talk) 05:43, 31 March 2007 (UTC).
