Although the films carry the same title they're almost chalk and cheese with different music requirements.
Barry's score is perfect for the movie he scored, which was a movie blighted by being, well, crap.
And Elfman also scores his films perfectly.

I love Elfman but his Alice score is a middling effort with a terrific main title, while the Barry is absolutely stuffed to the brim with great songs, beautiful, evocative scoring and great vocal performances from the entire cast. On "melody count" alone, the Elfman has maybe three (being generous) versus at least a dozen from JB, and all of them great.
Barry by a mile. In fact, this score makes me really wish he had done more musicals. What a songwriter the man was!
THIS! I don't think this is one of Elfman's better efforts, pretty unmemorable apart from the main theme. [which has the same rythmic pattern as Charlie And The Chocolate Factory], Elfman by numbers, I suppose, though the film was poor too IMO. Barry's effort, for a flawed but enjoyable film, is for me one of his most underrated achievements, with nearly all the songs good, and with decent lyrics too.
