It's not "Nightmare Before Christmas", but it will do.

Rating: 7/10 (4 August 2006)

I didn't see this at the cinema, so maybe I have lost something in the translation to DVD/TV.
Undoubtedly, this is a great piece of cinema - great characterisation, clever story, lovely to look at - but it seems a bit soulless (no pun intended!). It seems that the new technology used to create the effects detracted from the flow of the story - this is not unusual, though. It lacks the life of "Nightmare Before Christmas", somehow (again, no pun intended). NBC left me with a feeling of warmth and vitality that is curiously lacking from this one. Still, I would recommend anyone to see "Corpse Bride" - it is worth an hour-and-a-half of anyone's time!
