Almost Holding Hands: Mr Todd almost holds hands with Mrs Lovett, but doesn't.

Even after all he’s done, it’s impossible not to feel sympathy as he just learned he killed his wife and has crossed the Despair Event Horizon.

Alas, Poor Villain: Todd is killed by having his throat slashed by Toby.

Adapted Out: The crowd songs from the musical, including the much-beloved 'Ballad Of Sweeney Todd', do not appear in the movie.

Adaptation Name Change: Pirelli's real name goes from Daniel O'Higgins to Davey Collins, due to him being British in the film rather than Irish.All their duets from the musical have been cut as a result. Adaptation Distillation: The film greatly tones down the subplot between Anthony and Johanna.Absurdly-Spacious Sewer: The sewers connected to Lovett's cellar are shown in the opening and the climax to be fairly large, enough for Todd and Lovett to comfortably walk through them in search of a disappeared Toby.Abusive Parents: Poor Toby is constantly physically mistreated by Pirelli.In addition to many of the tropes from the musical, the film provides examples of: Lovett tries to dissuade him from this goal so that he can settle down with her and run a business, whilst Johanna takes a shine to a young sailor and seeks to run away with him and get the hell away from her guardian. In this version of the story, Todd is out to get revenge on a corrupt judge who sent him to prison on false charges, raped his wife (who then poisoned herself), 'adopted' his daughter Johanna fifteen years ago, and plans to marry her.

Sondheim himself composed the film's soundtrack instead of Burton's usual collaborator Danny Elfman. It is based on the musical of the same name by Stephen Sondheim, which was based on the Christopher Bond version of the legendary story of an English barber who murdered his customers and, with the help of his neighbor Mrs. Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street is a 2007 musical horror film directed by Tim Burton, starring Johnny Depp, Alan Rickman, Helena Bonham Carter, and Timothy Spall.
