Movie Review: Corpse Bride

My daughter is a big Tim Burton fan. That just tickles me because I liked Tim Burton when I was around her age (remember the Beetlejuice doll?) She begged me to take her to see this new movie Corpse Bride. We just got back and I had a great time. It is such a Tim Burton plot; dead people with living people problems. The characters of the parents are done so well. I laughed out loud several times. However, while watching it, it made me wonder if kids would really like this. Small children wouldn't as we have taught them to be afraid of skeletons but Little-man (my youngest son) really enjoyed the movie. I still think it is a movie though for Tim Burton lovers. Other people will see the topic as odd. So if you like the colors blue and gray and don't mind gross clay figures (i.e. maggots in drag make-up and head waiters that are only heads carried by roaches) you'll like this movie. Especially if you are a Danny Elfman fan. The music was very fun.
