A brilliantly animated, deliciously macabre and strangely touching triumph.

As fun as the film occasionally is, it just plays like a compilation of greatest hits.

Burton thinks in intuitive images, and there are sights here that I would love to have framed on my wall.

In the hands of another director, this material could have been dead on arrival, but for Mr. Burton it's dead on.

Burton definitely follows his own deliriously surreal path that may be more decipherable to a shrink than a movie critic.

Danny Elfman’s catchy songs are all but overwhelmed by Burton and Johnson’s visual embellishments.

If Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was Burton’s big picture for 2005, this is his miniature.

Gloomy, but in a beautiful, compelling way. In fact, the visuals sell the film because the story is entertaining but extremely lightweight.

...the visuals are so good and the voices so colorful, you probably won't mind the film's minor shortcomings.

All in all, it's what you would ordinarily call an uplifting experience.

There are wonderful voice performances all around...and the animation, particularly of facial expressions, sets a new level of technical accomplishment...but the humor in Corpse Bride feels underpowered...

Divertida, romántica y con mucho más corazón que el resto de los filmes en cartelera, es simple y sencillamente un deleite que no puedes dejar pasar por alto.

After the bloated hit-and-miss feel of many of Burton's recent live-action work it is a joy to experience this throwback to the glory days.

Nothing more than an 81-minute in-joke only two people in the world %u2014 Tim Burton and Danny Elfman %u2014 think is funny. But sometimes self-indulgence is the very thing that makes a filmmaker worth watching.

While not as groundbreaking or thematically complex as "The Nightmare Before Christmas," Burton's latest stop-motion animated film has moments of brilliance and a wonderfully sweet tone

This is another joyously morbid fairy tale from Tim Burton. The mock morbidity is a lot of fun, and it all comes to a heartwarming ending.
