Although this is a lesser known Burton film, it holds the same charm and simplistic integrity of the director's earlier works, such as Frankenweenie or the short film, Vincent. The film's stop motion is charming and hauntingly beautiful and the film tells a fractured fairytale that comes with great touches of dark comedy.

What can I say? I love Tim Burton. I loved the return of stop-motion animation that made him famous with "The Nightmare Before Christmas," as well as teaming with his friends to create a truly beautiful family comedy. Utilizing a still camera to create the film, "Corpse Bride" was innovative in its execution as well as in its artisanship. A great addition to any film collection.

Although I didn't like this as much as Nightmare Before Christmas, this is still an excellent stop-motion masterpiece from Tim Burton. It looks like it would be a dark film, but is surprisingly light given the subject matter. Very likable.

I enjoyed it. But, it just wasn't as good as I thought it'd be.

Dark and creative story. The ending was good too.

Another Tim Burton tale that isn't as original as it seems and tries to be somewhat dark but ends up being unintentionally rediculous. I'd recommend Nightmare Before Christmas over this movie.

Excellent. Unfortunately, I am not a fan of The Nightmare Before Christmas. I had heard how inferior The Corpse Bride was supposed to be, but yet I tried it anyway. I loved it much better. I felt like the Corpse Bride so yeah, affinity, blah blah blah. I liked it and am not sure I'd recommend it , because of the negative reaction to the film. But I like it in my own way. :)

Not near as good as Nightmare Before Christmas. Same style as the other one, but it's a little slow at times. If you're a Tim Burton fan see it, otherwise, try something else.
