I fully agree. But Tim Burton can be quoted as saying that "despite Oogie Boogie being the main antagonist, [he] does not see him as evil. The Nightmare Before Christmas is a happy story with no truly bad characters. Everyone wants to do something good, but just get a little mixed up".

Shape is considered a hero by Rowling, and Suess said the Grinch was just a grump.

This is why I warned against putting too much merit in the creators' opinions, because, while they know what they intended characters to be, shouldn't the audience decide what the characters are? The creator of Where the Dead Go to Die insists his film is a comedy. Would you ever think that by watching it?
