The director and his animation team do predictably fun work with nuns looking like decayed minions, papier-mache-style ghosts, a cuddly but possessed teddy bear and enough clownish-looking undead to fill a circus.

Selick’s signature fantastication still feels comforting...

...a film that gives people of color dignity and agency.
