Alrighty...I went and saw The Corpse Bride this last weekend. I liked it, and I'm sure that if I watch it a few more times, I will love it. Anyone ever seen A Nightmare Before Christmas? Same kinda thing, liked it, then I grew to love it default.tongue.gif Has some interesting jokes, and witty quips...more adult oriented too. Tim Burton is a dark twisted mad man I'm telling you. So very cool =)

Tim Burton's Corpse Bride is a 2005 Academy Award-nominated stop-motion-animation film based loosely on a 19th century Russian-Jewish folktale version of an older Jewish story and set in a fictional Victorian era England. It was directed by Tim Burton and Mike Johnson, and filmed at 3 Mills Studios in London. It stars Johnny Depp as the voice of Victor and Helena Bonham Carter as the voice of the Corpse Bride. This is the first animated film in which Johnny Depp has been a voice actor. The film was nominated in the 78th Academy Awards for Best Animated Feature. It lost to another stop-motion animated feature, Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit.

The movie exhibits Burton's trademark style and recurring themes (the complex interaction between light and darkness, and of being caught between two irreconcilable worlds). The movie can be particularly compared to The Nightmare Before Christmas , Burton's previous stop-motion feature project (directed by Henry Selick and based on a Tim Burton poem, which Corpse Bride director Mike Johnson worked on as an animator) and Beetlejuice, especially in the scenes depicting the underworld and its deceased denizens. The studio intentionally emphasised the links, as some commercials for Corpse Bride were accompanied by songs from The Nightmare Before Christmas (specifically, "What's This"), and in an issue of Disney Adventures, Emily, the title character was compared to TNBC's Sally.
