1942

I don't remember this image at all from this part of the movie (which, again, I saw once, at home on DVD, so I may have happened to look away or grab another snack at some moment).
I keep thinking that this particular story idea must have been inspired by the Lady Kitty storyline in the original series, but it plays out so differently, I wonder if that's the case.
I frankly had difficulty connecting with or knowing how to evaluate this whole sequence of Magtoria speaking about her early life with the montage going on. There was, for me, a twee, brittle, uncomfortably fancy-pants (given the serious subject matter of a young girl in the 1950s being institutionalized by her parents) element in how it was all presented visually that made me wonder if Burton was deliberately parodying how mental illness is traditionally presented in certain films.
