Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.

  Sweeney Todd is the best movie ever. I love it the most out of all of the movies I've seen in my seven years. My favorite part of Sweeney Todd is when he sings the song 'My Friends.' You can listen to it right here. The second best song that I like is when Mrs.Lovett sings 'The Worst Pies in London.' You can watch and listen to that song right here. My least favorite part of the movie is when (SPOILER AHEAD) Sweeney Todd throws Mrs.Lovett into the burner and kills her. You can watch it right here, but it's not very good quality. Now I'm going to tell you some more things about Sweeney Todd.

 Sweeney Todd is a very cool movie, but I don't like when he always kills people. I just like when he sings and talks, but when he does kill people I just say "Oh! That's so bad!" I really love Sweeney Todd when he yells and says "GET OUT! GET OUT!" This is before he's going to give Judge Turpin a 'shave' but this isn't the killing one because it gets interrupted by Sweeney Todd's friend who wants to save Judge Turpin's prisoner (Sweeney Todd's daughter) who he has locked up in a cage. Her name is Johanna. Now I'm going to show you pictures of the most important people from the movie. 

This is Sweeney Todd, he is the main character in the movie.

This is Mrs.Lovett she helps Sweeney Todd by grinding up dead bodies (that he killed) and baking them into meat pies. She is in love with Sweeney Todd. But Sweeney Todd isn't in love with her, because he loves his wife who Mrs.Lovett told him is dead.. but she's not! WOOPS!

This is Judge Turpin. Sweeney Todd used to be named Benjamin Barker, but he got banned from London by Judge Turpin because the Judge wanted to marry his wife. So Benjamin comes back as Sweeney Todd and wants revenge on Judge Turpin. He kills him the worstest. You might recognize Judge Turpin from Harry Potter. He plays Professor Snape.

This is Mr.Pirelli. He sells stuff that is supposed to make your hair grow (he lies to get money) but Sweeney Todd and Mrs.Lovett think it smells like pi$$

This is Beadle. We can never remember his name so we call him 'The Rat' because he looks like a RAT! DOESN'T HE? Oh yah, he's also on Harry Potter, and he's a rat on Harry Potter too. He is Judge Turpin's assistant.

This is Johanna. She's the baby that Judge Turpin took from Benjamin Barker when he was sent away from London. She is trapped in Judge Turpin's house!

This is Toby. He is Mr.Pirelli's assistant who helps him sell the miracle elixir that is supposed to grow hair! After Sweeney Todd kills Mr.Pirelli, Toby moves in with Mrs.Lovett and Sweeney Todd because he is an orphan. BAD IDEA!
   

  I hope you liked learning about Sweeney Todd, and seeing the characters. Did you know that Sweeney Todd is a true story! My Grandma met him when he was alive. But he was hung because he was a murderer! Imagine eating a human meat pie! GROSS! Some people in London actually did! But they didn't know it. See you next time in my Thanksgiving post. It will be about how I spent my Thanksgiving post :)
