Beetlejuice - TV Tropes
- ️Tue Feb 01 2011
This is the YMMV page for the Beetlejuice franchise in general. For:
- The original movie, see here.
- The 1989 animated series, see here.
- The 1991 comic-book spinoff of the animated series, see here.
- The 2018 stage musical, see here.
- The Beetlejuice Beetlejuice sequel movie, see here.
- Crossover Ship:
- There is a rather large base of fans who ship Wednesday Addams (The Addams Family) and Lydia Deetz around the internet, with it being especially popular on AO3. This is mainly because they are both goths in Black Comedy franchises who have dry senses of humor and a fascination with death. The sequel even cast Jenna Ortega, who played Wednesday on her eponymous show, as Lydia's daughter.
- Edward from Edward Scissorhands is sometimes shipped with Lydia by virtue of both being the troubled protagonists of Tim Burton films and embodiments of Dark Is Not Evil.
- One-Scene Wonder: The sandworms make only brief appearances in both films (in both cases, once when the protags accidentally get stranded on Titan after arriving to the afterlife, and then once at the end to eat the villain), but their extremely distinctive designs (which riff on but look nothing like the other iconic sandworm) and animation in Tim Burton's iconic stop-motion style has made them essentially the mascots of the series, and they appeared much more often in the animated show.
