...Burton's" was actually Henry Selick's; he directed the film under Burton's supervision. Selick next directed James and the Giant Peach, which managed to improve on the Roald Dahl children's book, and Monkeybone, a pretty frantic mix of live-action and animation. All these films owe less to the chipper confections of Disney, Pixar and DreamWorks than to Euro-cartoonery like The Triplets of Belleville and the work of Czech animator Jiri Trnka...
...densely populated residential area of Jos, dozens of homes lay crumbling, and blood splatter stained floors, walls and the large peach-colored boulders between homes. Residents displayed three houses where they claim men dressed in army uniforms had killed eight, 11, and three people. Law enforcement officials had been given shoot-on-sight orders by the state governor and had used them.

Ray is a sullen beast, punishing the girl by making her kneel on grits (coarse-ground corn meal, to those of you - those of me - who are ignorant of Southern cuisine). Lily has her own roiling karma. No question...
...exoticism is somehow kept in check. Typical of Albarn's various cultural adventures, he doesn't attempt to pass as a local; the details and pentatonic scale may come from Chinese folk music, but the playful melodies are rooted in pop. The fluttering female voices on "Heavenly Peach Banquet" resolve as the la-la-la-la-las from Minnie Ripperton's "Lovin' You." "Iron Rod" sounds like R2-D2 rapping on a dance floor. "The Living Sea" is a ballad of such delicacy that it feels like a love song in any language. The music does a fair...
