My Obsession with Sweeney Todd

This whole obbsession started one cold winter night sometime in January, i had never heard of Sweeney Todd before or anything about it. i knew Johnny Depp was in a new film with Helena Bonham Carter directed by Tim Burton but i didn't know it was Sweeney Todd.
My friend had seen it and told me of its awsomness and as it had my favorite actor, actress and director in it...how could i miss it! So she leant me the DVD.
I got home at about 9:00pm on a saturday night and thought "oh i have Sweenney Todd, I might as well watch it!" so off i went. i sat down and started the DVD.

After it was finished i couldn't believe that i had left it so long to watch it! it was so good i had to watch it again, and again, and again...
Soon it got to the hollidays, we had two weeks off and the rest of my family was out all day, so i thought what not a better time to watch Sweeney Todd some more. Then i watched it again, and again, and again...
And for the whole two weeks i had off school, i watched it about three times a day every day! i just couldn't help myself! As soon as the CD came out, i was first in the shop to buy it! I was so excited and i listend to it every waking hour (whitch really drove the rest of my family up the wall!)
I then got the book and some posters and even printed some good pictures from on here that you guys added!
I just couldn't get enough of sweeney todd, and still cant! If i see anything to do with sweeney todd, its all i think about for the rest of the day. I even got to the point were i knew the film so well i could wacth it the full way through in my head, word for word!
Then to two disc special edittion DVD came out and i had to get it! I needed to see all the special features. How they kill people without acctually killing them, and even the whole myth about Sweeney Todd.
It had consumed my life and yet i wanted more!
I drew pictures, i sang the songs over and over, i read the novel twice! And yet i can still watch the movie three times a day and not get bored of it!

All i know is i am sweeney todd mad and i will be for the rest of my life!
the obbsession ♥

Cute article Claire! Since you're the Fanpop Resident Sweeney Todd Expert, I have a question for you. Do you know if there are any plans in the works to release either a special edition DVD or a special edition CD featuring everything that was cut from the movie and/or soundtrack?

I have the special edition soundtrack and they have a part in the "alms alms" song that wasn't in the movie. I was confused when I first heard it, but when I watched the movie again I discovered that my ears weren't deceiving me and that that part of the song really wasn't in there.
Whenever the movie first came out I was OBSESSED with the soundtrack. Stephen Sondheim is amazing.

nosemuffin, like zoomonkees said the CD has an extra on Alms Alms and also on the last song when the begger woman has just gone in sweeney shop and shes singing about beadle, it cuts out a pause and goes straght into the song.
and there is a few bits where they cut out the diolouge, but that sbout it.
the special eddition DVD just has a whole disk of special features as shown here
i am glad you guys liked it ♥

Claire, have you seen the musical? My love of Sweeney Todd started after I saw a performance in 2002 with Christine Baranski as Mrs. Lovett. The musical has soooo many more great songs that weren't in the movie. You should get the 1979 Original Broadway Cast recording, it's amazing!!

I watched it with my friends and none of them seemed to like it too much. I loved it! Although I'm kind of surprised I've got a medal. I've only seen it once. *tsk, tsk* I do have the soundtrack, though, and I listen to it quite a bit.

oh my god. remind me of me sooooo much. im still really into it. if i see anything possibly relating to Sweeney. i go crazy!
i cosplay Sweeney Todd almost everyday and i watch the movie at least once a month (not as much anymore as i already know and own the script). but when it first came out up until around....January of this year, i would watch it every day and every chance i could i recently watched it on the airplane and showed it to my friend's little cousins who also love it. lol. Sweeney Todd is such an awesome movie and i like the picz u added. very awesome

I was the first one to buy a ticket when it premiered at the cinimas in my town. I also went back and saw it three more times, and put in to buy the first special edition copy at the DVD shop.I heart all Tim Burton movies and have done the same thing for all of them.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FOR YESTURDAY TIM BURTON!
I made cupcakes and took them to college!

OMG!! i finnaly know someone that has the same obseesion as me . the only difference though is that i havent read the novel. I know it word from word, like i do from a lot of johnny depp movies, but it got to the point where my mother yelled at me for "liking him too much" like there is such thing. She used to love johnny depp wen she was little but now she says she hates him because of me now. i felt bad but oh well i cant help it.
