Corpse Bride: A Beautifully Spooky Fairy Tale By Tim Burton

Rating: 8/10 (26 September 2005)

I heard about this film shortly after hearing about Charlie and The Chocolate Factory and thought to myself, "Wow! Two Tim Burton films in one year, who would've guessed it?" Then when I heard it was animated I was like, "This sounds a little weird but okay." Then the trailer came out and I was really impressed with the way this film will be animated. It uses the same technique of The Nightmare Before Christmas and the characters look unique and superlative. The day finally came when I saw the film for myself and I was blown away. The story of Victor Van Dort's marriage to a corpse is truly an original tale of macabre and matrimony. Helena Bonham Carter entranced my senses with her soft and beautiful voice and the music genius of Danny Elfman caught me by the ear once again with his mix of Edward Scissorhands, Batman and The Nightmare before Christmas. This film will most definitely win the award for best animated film this year at the Oscars. Good night and have a spooky evening.
