Stain Boy was created by Tim Burton,Stain Boy does not have any powers except for the fact that stains come out of his body. Stain Boy is an internet series. The episodes are,"The Birth of Stain Boy", "Toxic Boy", "Staring Girl", "Robot Boy", "Match Girl", and "Bowling Ball Head". All of the episodes (except for 1) name the villains that Stain Boy has to defeat. Sgt. Glen Dale is the guy who tells Stain Boy who to defeat and where they live or stay. In "The Birth of Stain Boy" you find out that less than a week after Stain Boy was born his dad wanted to get rid of him his mom did not want to but she gave up, the last thing she said to Stain Boy was "He's right you are a freak, but remember I'll always love you thats what mothers do." Well thats my comment on Stain Boy, Bye!:)
... View Morestars: Glenn Shaddix as The Police Chief.This is really weird. Its about superhero Stainboy that never really does anything to stop the villain but always prevails. He fights such enemies as Match Lady, Staring girl, Toxic Boy and others. Stainboy never talks, but instead everyone else does. In every episode he is pestered by the chief (Shaddix from Burton's Beetlejuice and Nightamre Before Christmas). They are directed and written by Tim Burton and even the music for these are done by Danny Elfman. 6 episodes were made, the last of which amused me the most.Contains some animated violence/gore and some language.My rating-B.
... View MoreTim Burton is my favorite director and he has created a black comedy/stop-motion animation/short-film series about a superhero named Stainboy. Firstly, I read "The Melancholy Death Of Oyster Boy" which is where Stainboy originates from. This is not much different. Here's what it's about: Stainboy is a lonely superhero who works for the police, detecting out any strange and/or harmful activities that occur daily in Burbank. Some examples involve other characters {but not all} from Oyster Boy. They include Roy the Toxic Boy, Robot Boy, the Staring Girl, Match Girl and one character that wasn't in the book called Bowling Ball Head. Each cartoon is about 5 minutes long and each one has one of these characters that Stainboy has to confront, as directed by his boss, Sargeant Glen Dale who is voiced by Glenn Shadix.Highly recommended. 10/10 stars.
... View MoreI felt when watching this film that we are getting a glimpse at what's going on in Tim Burton's head (much like we do with anything else he creates). The film is quite strange and with a run-time of less than 8 minutes, it's hard to really develop any kind of plot line. This, of course, is quite needed because we as the average viewer may not understand the concept of what a "stainboy" actually is. Once the film is over, we question everything we had seen before. We see Stainboy and he is told by a chief that he can go home because there is no trouble in their town. He goes home and turns on the TV. A commercial for stain remover comes on and he begins to get sad. You see, he is basically a stain himself. He lays down and remembers his life filled with rejection and sadness. He is abandoned by his parents and sent to live with a bunch of other freaks. At the center, the chief from the beginning shows up and mentions Stainboy by name. He faints and returns to his reality where the chief is telling him to get up. This time, the chief is in his home and we see on the TV the same scene from the beginning. This raises the question of how much we have just seen is actually true. Is he actually a stain, or does he just feel so rejected? Was he actually abandoned or does he just feel that way because he feels different? I think this is a very personal movie and most people will just think it's stupid. Look beyond the face value and try and find the meaning behind it. I think Tim Burton is expressing his true feelings and he does so in a very original and creative way.
