Beautiful movie with few faults

Rating: 7/10 (18 February 2007)

Tim Burtons Corpse Bride is an amazing film. I do not know why I love it, there's just something about it. I bought it on DVD about a year after it was released because it had gotten a lot of good reviews. And my was I stunned. I watched it 3 times the first day i got it and another time the next day. It was just amazing.
Its about the story of Victor who is to marry Victoria. But, after a series of unfortunate events he finds himself married to the corpse bride Emily instead. It has the flavor of being made for kids, but is a movie for all ages. And I'm not usually the one to watch children's movies.
Both Johnny Deep, Helen Bonham Carter and Emily Watson offers some really good voice acting. One can feel that the voices really fits. The rest of the actors offer some strong voice acting too. My favorite would be Christopher Lee as Pastor Galswell. but how does it work? Why would we need so simple movie-making techniques in a time of computer animation? Because it ads a interesting feeling. And if your wondering, yes, even though its not CGI its still beautiful.
The voice acting is well done, the story is good and interesting, its got many good jokes and its entertaining from beginning to end. And thats what really matters. I would definitely say you should see Corpse Bride. The only fault with this movie is thats it to short. Sill, a must see in my book.
