Corpse Bride

Rating: Null/10 (17 October 2005)

Not having seen Nightmare Before Christmas, I didn't really know what to expect. The first glimpse of the town and the animation was a good way of letting me know that this film was going to have that eerie sense too it. Throughout the film, I had a feeling I was in the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland. It fit the movie.
I liked the movie, although I wish I would have waited and rented it. I don't normally watch animation in the theaters but I was really looking forward to this one. The voices fit the profiles of the characters and again, Johnny Deep did a fantastic job. He keeps getting better and better.
I enjoyed the animation most of all. I particularly liked how each of the corpses had their own uniqueness to them. Not all were skeletons, each having their own death clear. Such as holes in the head or old age. It was creative and fun.
The music was wonderful. Being a fun and eerie film, it worked to fantastically enhance the feeling already in place at the start of the movie. The music was great. I only wish there was more in the film.
Overall, I enjoyed the movie. I recommend seeing it and buying it later on.
