Tim Burton: Corpse Bride
built 629 days ago
Tim Burton is one of the hippest and raddest cats to ever come the pike. He creates amazing movies and his latest is Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride. It’s a stop motion wet dream that has advanced the form to new heights.

Burton, who directed the film with animator Mike Johnson, has rarely been in brisker, friskier form. This picture is 77 minutes, and while not all of them whiz by, they don't feel laden, either, as they did in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," a sumptuous spectacle that refused to end. "Corpse Bride" isn't in a hurry to send you on your way; the picture's industrious expressionism alone makes you forget the time. But Burton does seem to have learned from his last movie that prolonged exposure to sweetened antics can leave an audience in a sugar coma.

Following the debacle of Batman Forever, Burton made small cameo roles in the film Singles and in Hoffa as a corpse. He then turned his attention to his dream project, The Nightmare Before Christmas which he wrote and produced. The project was directed by Henry Selickand cowritten with Michael McDowell and Caroline Thompson. He later worked with Selick on James and the Giant Peach.

"Corpse Bride" ... marks the return of such stalwarts as Albert Finney, who starred in "Big Fish," and Michael Gough, who starred as Alfred in Burton's two "Batman" films as well as "Sleepy Hollow." Also back in the fold is Christopher Lee, who starred in "Sleepy Hollow" and had a pivotal role in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory."
