“It was pretty amazing. I mean working with Tim Burton has always been a dream for me, so to actually get on set and work with Tim, and be in it with Johnny Depp, and Helena Bonham Carter and Michelle Pfeiffer, it was a dream come true because they are all my idols," she said. "To work people like that that know how to do it, and how to get it. It was really special I learned a lot.”

With regard to what separates the film from Burton and Depp's most recent collaborations, Moretz said "Shadows" harkens back to Burton's most iconic, classic films.

“I think it’s special because it goes back to Tim’s roots. It goes back to 'Beetlejuice,' and 'Edward Scissorhands' and it goes back to the true Tim," she explained. "I love it because he gets in it, and he's in that little circle with Michelle, and Helena and Johnny, and it just, it happens. Everything goes down in the movie.”
