What A Cartoon Movie! - Corpse Bride
🕑 Added 2023-09-25 04:00:03 +0000 UTCAs The Nightmare Before Christmas grew from modest box office success to cult video hit to merchandising phenomenon, a sequel—spiritual or otherwise—was inevitable. It took a little over a decade, but in 2005, we finally got Corpse Bride: another modest box office success that didn't quite have the cultural staying power of its predecessor. But does this freaky feature still deserve a spot in the Mall Goth Canon? Join us this month as we discover there are few things spookier than a talented director in serious decline!

I've loved this movie since it came out so its easier for me to look over some of the flaws, but I do believe it deserves a space on the shelf with other well made stop motion films. I feel like so many comparisons to Nightmare Before Christmas is a bit unfair as they are 2 different movies in 2 different universes. While Nightmare is a louder and more colorful movie, Corpse Bride is a lot more subdued and subtle. For instance, when Victor is in the forest practicing his vows, it's not necessarily the "end of his arc", but rather showing that Victor can be a capable person when he is able to calm himself down and isn't being pressured by his overbearing family members. And when Victoria is taking with Victor when they first met, I didn't read it as her falling instantly in love with him, but rather her trying to be as polite as she can while trying to make the best out of the situation she knows she and Victor don't really want to be in. That being said, your review still made me laugh like always and I did get to see a new perspective on it and as always I love the behind the scenes research you guys put into the beginning. Thank you

Fun fact: Danny Elfman got to keep the original bonejangles puppet. He also has one of the jack skellington puppets too, I feel like I’d do the same thing. Keep memento’s of movies i helped make.
