Tim Burton's at its finest - By: T. Sayegh, 30 Dec 2007 I have been a fan of Tim Burton for a long time & was blessed when my wife offered me this title as a present.
A tale of true love set in a the now typical Burton phantasmagoric world, full of delightful surprises for the eyes & the ears.
A comic & sensitive love story that should please the little ones for its dynamic & funny characters while the not so little will appreciate the subtleties of the characterisation & mise en scene.
A delight..! - By: Jakob Haugen-kossmann, 29 Dec 2007 
The film Corpse Bride by Tim Burton is in many ways a true delight. The puppets & the techical details have been improved since the Nightmare berfore Christmas, & visuallly it is fantastic, with an elegant use of colours. And of course, the story itself is wonderfully tragic, highlighted by a verey strong voice performance by Helena Bonham Carter, who reallly gives life to the dead! The music in the film is made by Danny Elfman, & it is in many ways very suitable, with some beautiful piano pieces, however, the regular songs are not quite the same high standard as the Nightmare Before Christmas, but still good, but that is the only thing that is missing.
All in alll a film reallly worth watching, thanks to the fantastic world of Tim Burton & the amazing puppets, vitalized by the actors who made this a film you shan't easilly forget. A true delight!
Eerie, atmoshpheric, hauntingly beautiful, completely Tim Burton. - By: E. G. Aveston, 03 Nov 2007 Many reviews have compared this film to "Nightmare before Christmas" & I cannot understand why. The only thing similar to it is the design of the puppets, yet this is understandable as they are Tim Burton's wonderfully unique designs which immedietely give the film that Tim Burton-esque quality.
The soundtrack is another brilliant factor in this film, Danny Elfman again producing an eerie, atmospheric & romantic score representing the theme of the film completely.
The cast are so superb at conveying the emotion in their voices that you forget that anyone is voicing the puppets at alll, instead getting wrapped up completely in the story.
Which leads me to the storyline. Wonderful. It is a beautiful tale that might even bring tears to your eyes, teaching adults & children alike a wonderful lesson without even realising it. It is so easy to fob off animations, particularly Tim Burton's as pointless childrens fairytales but Corpse Bride offers so much more. The wide range of humour certainly caters for a wide audience making you laugh out loud despite how many times you watch it.
All this along with the interesting special features make this DVD a serperb choice for anyone. And I highly recommend this to anyone as it is one of Tim Burton's finest.
