I am tempted to see it, after being initially freaked out by it, but the thing is that I LIKE eating meat pies, and watching this movie may mean I lose my taste for them, which is...distressing.
They made "official" ones for the show. I used to have a picture of one (which, of course, now that I need it, I can't find it!). They also made a mug and a hat stamped with the same design, but the apron always amused me the most.
Overall, minus a few sticky points where they cut book/music (when it was needed...a couple of the cuts I completely understand and worked for the movie, but a couple of them I really disagree with), and the unnecessary gallons of fake blood (Tim Burton, srsly dude, I adore most of your work, but did you NEED that much blood?) - but, overall, I am very proud of all of them. They did justice to a piece that I love, and that's all I could have hoped for.
If you're ever interested in more detail about the stageshow, don't hesitate to ask. Two versions of it have been filmed, as well.
LOL My write-ups are insane, and I've used a Sweeney tag so many times, that I wouldn't ask anyone to try and surf through them. If you want to read any of my incoherent, sometimes artsy, ramblings, I'll link you to several and you can peruse them at your leisure:

First reaction
And second
A bit on why I love this piece, ostensibly about murderers and lunatics, but really...so much more
And the last time
And if you get really bored/don't want to get into all of that, I will SO not be offended, dear. <3
