Corpse Bride Reviews |
Anyways, the Corpse Bride isn’t perfect. It’s incredibly short, some scenes drag a little, and I would’ve honestly liked another musical number or two but, although not as great as The Nightmare Before Christmas, The Corpse Bride is a wonderfully sweet little goth-fairy tale that can be enjoyed by the young and the old. [read review] 
Corpse Bride never skimps on the sass (as a good folktale shouldn't). And the variety of its cadaverous style is never less than inspired; never has the human skull's natural grin been redeployed so exhaustively for yuks. But its heart, beating or not, belongs to the preindustrial ages of black forests, tenuous life spans, and the mysteries of evanescent flesh. send a letter to the editor [read review]
--Michael Atkinson (VillageVoice)
From the exagerrated characters to the musical numbers, from the witty humour to the pure imagination of the movie, Corpse Bride is a movie that is sure to be enojoyed by one and by all. I can't really sit here and say Corpse Bride is the best animated movie I have ever seen because it isn't. But it is one of those movies that is fun from beginning to end. It is one of those movies that leaves you with a smile on your face when you walk out of the theatre. [read review] 7.5/10
It’s a fun flick that is sure to delight most adults that dig on this sort of thing, and likely even the kiddies, although I’m not sure it’s something the really younger ones should see at their age. Despite it always keeping a pretty peppy attitude, it does stray into the melancholic and serious from time to time... The film also tosses a few homages in there for us film fans, but did disappoint me in at least one small aspect and that being its length. [read review] 8/10

“Corpse Bride” looks absolutely gorgeous. The colors are crisp and clean and practically leap off the screen. Coming in at around 85 minutes, “Corpse Bride” never drags but instead moves swiftly through the story, delivering laughs along with a sweet message about the power of love. [read review] B+
Bride's animation is cleaner and much slicker than Burton's A Nightmare Before Christmas. I kind of like the jerkier, old-school stuff, but that might just be me (give me Jason & the Argonauts over The Polar Express every day of the week, please). Danny Elfman's score is wonderful, and despite the predictability of the script, I got a little misty at the end. But I'm blaming that on a serious lack of sleep. And if you tell anyone, I'll deny it. [read review]
This is a very happy place where Danny Elfman's music pervades everything with a jaunty bounce and lilting step. The fans of “Nightmare” will delight in the music and glory in the design. The story isn't as predictable as one might expect for something like this, we know it'll turn out fine in the end, but since getting there is half the fun, we don't really care. [read review]
Corpse Bride clocks in at a skinny 1:18, so there's no room for extraneous material. As animated films go, this is easily the best of a weak year, and now that Burton has achieved a degree of mainstream success with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, maybe audiences will flock to see this during the pre-trick or treat season. It's certainly more of the latter than the former. [read review] 
--James Berardinelli (ReelViews)
When watching in a theater it feels like you’re watching another Nightmare, only the animation is smoother and less choppy. As much as that sounds like a good thing, I personally think the reason you do stop-motion is to achieve that choppy effect and bysmoothing it out you might as well be doing CGI. [read review] 
--Mr. Disgusting (Bloody-Disgusting.com)
The humor, from start to finish, overdoses on groan-worthy puns. Only two scenes stand out for their energetic choreography and imaginative conjuring, and both involve Burton’s creatures from beyond the grave. [read review] 
--Sean O'Connell (FilmCritic.com)
Stop-motion animation is an admirable and painstaking art and Bride shines as a genuine labor of love. The tight running time is in keeping with the minimal nature of the central conceit -- love conquers all. [read review]
A remarkably beautiful and well made film, it’s the sort of picture that makes you wish Burton would stick to this format. Or at least do more with it. [read review] 9/10
