Well, as much as I would have loved to see Howl win the Oscar this year, it’s clearly going to go to Corpse Bride (some places may make you look it up as “Tim Burton’s” Corpse Bride).

The opening sequence alone snatched the Oscar all by itself. Not that I could like anything this year better than Howl, it just happened to be something fresh and delightful- it’s been a very long time since Nightmare Before Christmas. So this movie is also highly recommended, and fortuantely, widely available.

Animation: 5
Plot: 2
Premise: 5
Entertainment Factor: 3.5 (5 before the Spider song, 0 during, 2.5 after (with some great scenes hitting a 5 after))

The main attraction is of course the imaginitive clay creations. The premise too is a great one.
Overall it gets a 4 which means I demand you see it at soon. (There are scary moments, so be cautious with little ones.)

And it’s great to ease back into a Depp movie where you don’t have to see him (and remember what he looked like as Wonka *shudddddddder*) Don’t miss Christopher Lee’s great job either.
