They just keep going through the same things over and over again. The songs are forgettable.

All too often, Tim Burton's movies feel like they're covered in flop sweat, as if he's trying too hard and worrying too much. By contrast, Corpse Bride is a cool breeze across the brow.

Beneath the bone pile of allusions, Corpse Bride is a darkly enchanting fable in its own right.
Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Based on a Russian folk tale, Corpse Bride makes for breathtaking viewing.
