Oh, man, FLY. If we're going Wallace & Gromit vs. Tim Burton's Corpse Bride (hilarious), I am more than happy to be in the W&G camp. The Curse of the Were-Rabbit has a charming and clever story. At 77 minutes, Corpse Bride is two times too long. I wanted to like it. I did. I saw it opening day. No. It's almost entirely unappealing.

Yeah, the whole time I was watching CB I just wished I was watching Nightmare Before Christmas instead.

I thought it was decent, but the songs were so uninspired it kinda ruined it for me.

I want The Secret of Kells to come out on dvd already. It looks gorgeous. Thanks for those caps.

Going to catch it at local theater May, cant wait.
I’ve lied to men who wear belts. I’ve lied to men who wear suspenders. But I’d never be so stupid as to lie to a man who wears both a belt and suspenders.

Here's my two cents on the matter.

In this review you also seem to imply that Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is not a good film, which is both troubling and puzzling. The Corpse Bride is lesser Burton, but still great.

Either way, rounding out my favorite animated films, I think, would be this master class in comedy...

I wish this was available to be seen somewhere.
