Corpse Bride
I went to see Corpse Bride on Saturday and if you enjoy Tim Burton in general and loved ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’ (the movie me and my friend call it’s ‘distant cousin’) then you’ll love this.
Even though this time the stop animation was helped along with a bit of CGI (or so I’ve read) there’s a certain magic to this artform of visual storytelling. It’s sort of like a living ‘toy story’ as it were, if only because unlike CGI the characters are really there. They exsist as physical things and are magically brought to life by film. And unlike puppets, there’s no strings. And the story (despite being about a dead world basically rising on a living one) is cute and funny. Very much enough mixture of enough light and dark to make it a classic fairy tale type story (and it’s, in fact, based on a Russian folk tale or something). It was really really a fun movie.
Of course the Harry Potter Trailer was attached (and I DIDN’T see the movie just because of the trailer being attached). It was very cool seeing it on the BIG SCREEN. And I was so happy people clapped after the trailer. I’ve never seen people CLAP for a trailer.
