I first want to say I was really hyped to see this movie. Half way through the flick a skeleton does a song telling the tale of the Corpse Bride. The tempo of the song was so familiar but could not place it. I now realize it was Mr. Oogie Boogie's song from "The Nightmare Before Christmas", one of my favorite films of all time. Once I realized this everything started to unravel. The similarities of Emily (C.B.) to Sally (T.N.B.C.), Scraps the dog (C.B.) and Zero (T.N.B.C.), the Town Crier (C.B.) and Hallowtown Mayor (T.N.B.C.). I still thoroughly enjoyed Corpse Bride, I just feel like I saw summer repeats during fall premier week on network television.
