Reviews


100
The Hollywood Reporter - Kirk Honeycutt
A wondrous flight of fancy, a stop-motion-animated treat brimming with imaginative characters, evocative sets, sly humor, inspired songs and a genuine whimsy that seldom finds its way into today's movies.
90
Variety - Justin Chang
An endearingly schizoid Frankenstein of a movie, by turns relentlessly high-spirited and darkly poignant.
90
Village Voice - Michael Atkinson
Corpse Bride never skimps on the sass (as a good folktale shouldn't). And the variety of its cadaverous style is never less than inspired; never has the human skull's natural grin been redeployed so exhaustively for yuks.
88
Rolling Stone - Peter Travers
It's warped and wonderfully effervescent. Ditto the songs by Danny Elfman, who sings the role of Bonejangles, the frontman for a skeleton jazz band at a swinging underworld club. Best of all is the love story.
88
USA Today - Claudia Puig
Features the season's most tragic heroine along with some of the liveliest dead people ever seen on film.
