@Brijesh,

I did not see any outright errors, but it always can be better. I think it better to speak in the present tense about their ongoing collaboration. Also, I think it is better to ask about the combined film experience, rather than just the score, because you are specifically asking about their successful collaborations and you specifically speak to "leaving a lasting impact on audiences".

FYC,

FYC, I am not sure what your requirements are but their collaboration is more than just films. Plus, films include feature length videos, short films and TV movies, so I would either add options or be more specific, feature-length theatrical movies.

I am looking for Burton's direction and Elfman's scores, that is limited to feature-films, I think.

@Brijesh​,

Again, I am just pointing out options, you can set it up any way you want. But, your text and question need to match the answer pool. I see twenty film collaborations (see above), but only seventeen listed in the answer pool.

Thanks for making the changes. Even though it is Elfman's 70th, the poll is really about both of them, so the question needed to reflect that, plus he was confusing when the intro mention the pair alot. The poll looks good, other than checking those three other titles to see if they are worthy inclusions.

Yes, considered them. But for 2 of them Burton served only as Producer and for MIB3 he only had a cameo, so excluded them.
