Thoughts on the Miss Peregrines Home For Peculiar Children Movie Adaptation

This is kind of long and I don’t expect many people to read it, this has just been on my mind and I needed to write it down somewhere.

I’d note that I’m a big fan of the books, I’ve read and own all of them. I’m also definitely a little biased towards the movie as I was a lot younger when it came out so obviously I loved it without any question.

I wanna start by saying that unlike some of my other posts, this won’t be a necessarily analytical review. Instead I want to aim this post towards explaining some of the creative decisions and changes from the source material. But, of course I can’t not provide some brief overall thoughts before I dive into the main point, which will probably sound a lot more appreciative. Frankly I don’t think this movie is very good. To name a few things, I think the majority of the characters lack depth, development, and interest. I also wasn’t a fan of some of the acting, dialogue, or Asa Butterfield’s questionable accent. There were also a number of plot holes, and moments that were explained far better in the book. My favorite thing to say when discussing this movie is that my left brain hates it but my right brain loves it. Now that we’ve gotten through with the analytical stuff, let’s move on to the main point.

Clearly this movie isn’t exactly beloved among the book fans because of all of the changes Tim Burton made to the source material. Emma and Olive’s powers switching and changing the ages to name the biggest ones. As someone who has fond memories of this movie, I’d like to explain my idea about why he made as many changes as he did.

Simply put, it was for the aesthetic. Tim Burton is known for his eccentric and fantastical movies. I believe the book was quite a bit more grounded than this movie- everything from costumes to sets, to (yes) even the character design was a little less fanciful. Clearly, Tim Burton’s vision for this movie was, in a word, whimsical. And oddly enough for Tim Burton, lighthearted. I think pretty much all of the creative decisions he made can be traced back to that goal. Starting with Olive and Emma’s powers. Emma, one of the main characters, had fire powers (and a matching fiery personality) in the books. For this movie, they gave her Olive’s ability to float. She was literally a lighter character. Combining her new power with her flowing outfit and sweet disposition, she made for a more whimsical character. Do I think the book version of Emma is a way better character? Yes. Would I have liked to see her onscreen instead? Absolutely. In fact it would’ve been a dream to see Tim’s campy take on her original character. But did I hate this version? No, I didn’t. This Emma fulfilled the overall aesthetic of the movie. Changing the ages (aging up a few characters like Olive and Enoch, and making the rest younger) made for a far more lighthearted film. Aging up Olive and Enoch provided a chance for a sweet romantic arc, and the crew of younger characters made it feel a lot more family oriented. I think you get the logic here. Same thing goes for any changes to personalities or general character design. This even applies to the ending of the movie. Obviously it was a lot crazier than the ending of the book, but it was more of a spectacle. Skeletons? Cotton Candy? A giant steamship? Pretty wild, and certainly fun to watch. I’m not saying I liked or preferred his version, just that I didn’t hate his vision, and saw where he was coming from. I really do wish his vision had been executed better, as to not prioritize spectacle over storytelling.

Because I started by listing some aspects of the movie that I really disliked, I think I should end this little rant with some details I love. This movie was truly creative. All of the little props and costumes and details are so wonderful and exciting to me, many of which aren’t included in the book. I absolutely adore Miss Peregrine’s character design, her look is incredible, and Eva Green pulled it off so well! Similarly, Emma’s shoes were GORGEOUS. I also really loved what Tim Burton did with Enoch’s dolls. Don’t get me wrong, I love the homunculus in the books, but these creepy, broken, mismatched dolls were really sick. The sets were really gorgeous as well, they’re such a dream. Namely, the house itself was just beautiful, inside and out. It’s so amazing to me that it’s a real location. Of course I also have to mention the impressive topiary sculptures in the yard, they were a really fun touch. Finally, the last thing I’ll mention is the Hollows. Their appearance in this movie was far more sinister than the book, which I thought was super cool. Plus the fact that they ate peoples eyes made them even creepier, I love that kind of stuff!

Preview of the Upcoming Chapter of “Part of Your World”

“So…who is this guy?” Moira asked as she, Polly, Elliot, Will, and Natalia sat on the sectional, “And how come we haven’t seen him before?”

“Or heard of him?” Barry added.

Chris stood beside Leon and Ollie, Leon looking around at his surroundings in wonder, curious at the house and its contents. He then looked at Barry and the teenagers and kids, all of whom Leon canted his head at as he looked them all over. Leon then went over to the fish tank sitting between the television and the wall. He made odd chirping sounds and noises, the goldfish in the tank seemingly pausing and turning to listen.

“He’s from out of town.” Chris quickly added, “Maine, so he’s, y’know…” Chris continued, twirling a finger next to his head, “He’s really into fish…but he’s deathly afraid of swimming. Right, Leon?”

Leon turned to look at him, then looked at Barry, “He doesn’t like the flakes. He prefers the pellets that you used to feed him.”

Barry merely blinked at Leon before shaking his head and turning his attention back to Chris, “Seriously, where did you find this guy? There is no way this oddball was related to the same Jill Valentine we knew and loved. How much did you pay him?” Barry then gave him a better look, “…and why does he look eerily familiar?”

“Because Jill showed photos of him before, except he was WAY younger in them than he is now, obviously.” Chris said with a chuckle, “C’mon, Barry, you know Jill had her oddball moments too. That was part of why we all loved her so much.”

Barry scratched his beard and grumbled under his breath, giving a shrug and a “I guess you’re right” before turning to the kids piled onto the couch. He gave them “The Talk” about behaving and “listening to Mr. Leon” while they were all out hunting for the Merman. Leon’s head perked up at that.

“Moira, Elliot. Help him with the little kiddies, got it?” Barry demanded, raising a brow at them, the two eldest teens nodding in confirmation.

With another nod, Barry led the way, DC following behind him as Chris turned to Ollie and Leon. He lifted Ollie into his arms and gave him a hug, Ollie giggling as Chris peppered kisses on his little cheeks, his scruff tickling Ollie’s skin. Leon looked at them, smiling as he came over and hugged Chris after he put the little boy down. This earned a raised brow from Chris along with a chuckle, Chris relenting and hugging him back.

“Behave.” Chris said to them both, more so to Leon than Ollie, “Remember what we talked about…”

“”No Swimming”!” Ollie said.

“No Swimming!” Leon parroted, just as happily.

Chris gave a nod of his own before following the men out to the trucks, piling into the vehicles as they started up. The kids all went over to the window, watching as their Dads and friends took off into the night. Leon did the same, only so he could see what the others were looking at.

“So, uh, why can’t we go swimming?” Will asked as he looked up at Leon.

Leon looked down and blinked at the little boy, “Uh…because I am not a good swimmer.” He lied, “So, uh, no pool!”

“We can swim.” Moira pointed out, motioning between herself and Elliot, “So, what’s the problem?”

“Daddy and Uncle Barry said that Leon is in charge!” Ollie reminded them, “He’s the only adult here, so we have to listen to what he says!”
