The Corpse Bride

My god, what a wonderful movie! I saw an advanced screening tonight and was pleasantly surprised. The animation, songs and storyline are all wonderfully constructed. I highly recommend seeing this film.

I can't wait for it to come out! I have seen the trailer where they said it would play in select cities on the 16th, but I haven't seen it at a theater near me yet.

I would have thought NYC would get it early also.

As good as NBC?

Well- I plan on seeing it this weekend as well, it got very good reviews.

It was one of the rare times I wished that a movie had MORE musical numbers in it Apparently it's based off of an old european folk tale, but Im lazy as sin and thus havent looked into that

ohhh I really want to see it!!

Nah. Nightmare still takes the cake.
Corpse Bride is a nice short movie though (just over an hour).
Worth checking out.

Hummm.....Interesting to hear it is so short.
I didn't think it would be better but it had to be asked.

I can't wait

72 minutes is all it takes to make the theater.....

Sounds good to me!

cant wait to see it !

how many songs?

how many environments? (example: NBC had halloween town, real world, christmas town, boogies lair)

Oh, nice. I didn't even know this was going to be a musical. More Elfman-meets-showtunes can never be bad.

A previous thread has dealt with this exhaustively, but I want to see it too.

I'm probably going to wait til it comes out on DVD to avoid the trendy emo goth high school kids.

i can't wait to see it either...there's an advanced screening of it this thursday!

NMB4XMAS was fairly short too so I'm not surprised...these movies take years to make.

They play a NBC tune on the preview....the music isn't recycled, is it?

Other than that, Im excited to see it.

the music was terrible, but all of the scenes in the underworld were amazing. the napoleon corpse was fucking great. does anyone else think the maggot sounds like the bat from anastasia?

Judging from the TV trailers, I have to say that it seems Tim Burton said to himself, "How can I instantly appeal to that demographic that became totally disillusioned after I did Planet of the Apes? I know! NBC + dead chick = Goth gold!"

I saw an advanced screening also, i am so excited about this.
however, anyhting from burton gets me excited.
looks like i know what i am doing friday night!
anyone want a date!

Okay... all you naysayers... at least it was eye candy, right?

it was definetly great to watch but the songs were still lame. and I felt a little weird leaving the theatre atracted to to a stopmotion animation corpse, but she had such nice legs

Yup. Nice to look at, but not a very good movie--thin plot, ho-hum music, gimmicky feel. Disappointing overall. Nightmare Before Christmas it is not.
