Corpse Bride in a Nutshell

[tealin]

Just got back from Corpse Bride ... It was good, but I don't think I was in the right frame of mind for it. (That, or the entire plot was a romantic game of checkers ...) The soundtrack, though ... the soundtrack ... And the character design. I need to study that. The head shapes!

And: THCRAPTH!?

came back from seeing it, waited a night to digest it.)

Hmm. Not bad, not bad. I was kinda hoping that Tim Burton had ditched the songs for this one, but they weren't stupid songs and (drumroll) actually had to do with the plot, so that was fine. It was nearly completely shot in a greyscale. I was mildly disturbed by the fact that a half-corpse bride had no idea why poor Victor found her frightening.

Still.. the style and the soundtrack were great! And hey, its a Tim Burton movie, so of COURSE its quite twisted. Out of purest interest, does anyone know any NORMAL movies Burton's directed? The only ones I know are his trademarked quirky ones, like Edward Scissorhands, Nightmare Before Christmas, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, etc.

Hey. I'm Sam. I'm always looking in on your work and had to reply. I thought Corpse Bride was awesome. Loved the character design and the soundtrack. Another wonderful Tim Burton film. Goodbye for now and keep up the good drawing. Wish I could draw that well :P

Well, actually Tim Burton doesn't really *do* "normal" movies. That's his thang, you see.

I would say the Planet of the APes was his most normal movie... even though most of the characters were big, talking chimpanzees.
