I hardly noticed the montage when Charlie first ran away from home, as he marched from country to country, their flags fluttering in the breeze double exposed with Charlie's image; only to have young Charlie emerge from the "flag exhibit" at the local museum. He hadn't left home at all. It took the viewing I experienced the other night with the family at home watching the DVD to catch it this time. I also caught the comment about the "new hospital wing" for the burnt dolls. The dolls are bandaged, lying in bed. As they leave, a giant red cross on the wall indicates the entrance. There were so many small touches Burton put here and there, too numerous to mention.

I'd review the DVD, but Chris, Oscar, Johann, Tabuno, Trevor, and Arsaib have all so eloquently expressed the plot far better than I could rehash it. Let's just say the DVD (at least the two disc version) has fun exploring how the film was written, came to the screen, special effects, etc.
