Nice cover. This unforunately is a blind buy for me.

does anyone know when this is being released in the UK?

William Coffey

I think I may have stated this already, but is The Corpse Bride coming with the trailers?

I am a film elitist/snob and I love movies that have strong commentary, but this is just a simple animated movie. Of course all the great animated movies have nothing to say, but a "good" animated movie doesn't need to say anything.

I definitely agree that it lacked character development, and I'm a bit puzzled as to what the actual message is, too.

Oh, and did anyone else hate the ending?

I think that we can forgive Tim for making this, Charlie And The Chocolate Factory (which was a sacrelige against the classic REAL movie), Planet Of The Apes, and Nightmare Before Christmas since he did make the first two Batman movies, Sleepy Hollow, and Beetlejuice.

Cover's pretty. The movie really didn't made my day when I saw it. It was O.K., I wouldn't describe it $#!++y, but it was pretty dumb.

Yet another in the long line of films my crappy theatre dropped after a week...can't wait to see this one.

Nice cover.

That's because u was in the next auditorium watching crap like "Flightplan." {Ha Ha}

Lighting

The best thing this flick had going for it was the spectacular lighting. I have never before seen stop motion in such a good light (pun intended)

amen.

Bruno Billion

It was cute, too short, enjoyable, but less good than Nightmare before Xmas and james and the Giant Peach

Mr Vess

I have no intention of watching this, but the concept is an obvious plagiarism of Merimee. He is dead, of course, but basic morals would dictate a posthumous credit. Of course, it's Hollywood...

I'm pretty sure it's you who doesnt know shit to claim this is the greatest animated movie of all time. How many animated movies have you seen? 3? This wouldn't even make the top 10.

Bob "the film man"

I missed this at the theaters. I hope it is as good as "The Nightmare Before Christmas."

Jonny "Me You"

Count me in for a rental on this one.

Rio Fan

This movie was NO Nightmare Before Xmas. Compeletely forgettable songs, no real character development, and just not as tight as the 1993 masterpiece. Still a very enjoyable Butonesque delight, though. Wonder when the R2 will be released?

My DVD's

I heard it to took a week to film a minute of the movie. I also heard it took a week just to make one of the characters blink.

The movie's length did not bother me at all. I thought it was sweet and to the point. I loved the fact that it didn't have as many songs as Nightmare Before Christmas.

Aurelia

sweet!! this movie rocks!!

Tony Amadeo

I thought this was a very fun film. The songs weren't up to par with Nightmare, but the flick was enjoyable nontheless.

Because Warner doesn't usually give DTS to movies when they're first released (except for the Renny Harlin "Exorcist" prequel).

As for the movie, I definitely preferred Burton's "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" over this. It's beautifully animated with some nice voice work, but the songs by Danny Elfman aren't catchy and it moved slowly in the beginning. I found the movie forgettable, but it certainly wasn't painful to watch.

Great Artwork! Never saw it, but im getting it because im a Burton fan.

Nqnpipnr Nqnpipnr

Great cover for a great movie. I just wish it hadn't been so goddamned short.

Worst Nightmare

It hasn't even hit theatres yet down under.....

Gabe Powers

Brian O.

Never saw it in theaters, but probably will rent it, although Depp looked too damn weird/creepy...

Ken Murray

Awesome! I loved this movie. With all hopes, it wins the Animated Feature Oscar, but they will probably give it to Wallace & Gromit, which is also a good choice.

rob murray

I hope theres some substantial special features, it was a great film

CORPSE BRIDE (2005)

I liked this film but it was very forgetable. I really dont remember anything that went on in it. But what I do remember I did like so I might pick this up but it depends on the price and if I'm in the mood. I also want to see what kind of Bonus Material Warner Bros. Pictures includes. I thought that would do the single-disc widescreen, fullscreen editions and then the 2-Disc Deluxe Edition, but it does not look like that will happen. If it is a 2-Disc then I would get it but I might pass on it if its just a regular DVD.

E. Costigan

Decent artwork. I'll be seeing it soon.

Took the words out my mouth.

Awesome cover. Awesome movie.

Giovanni Alberti

Finally!

I've been waiting for Warner to announce this because I loved every part of this movie, and I also think that it was better than Nightmare. I really hope this wins the Oscar for best animated picture because it deserves it. Predictable yet great coverart, I can't wait!

I actually liked this one a bit better than Nightmare. I'll be picking it up for sure.

I like parts of it and it was too short and too simular to Nightmare but i will still buy it
