Día de los Muertos

Corpse Bride (IMDB:7.7|Rot:83%*)

Went to see Tim Burton's Corpse Bride with Sean & Chris. Extremely reminiscent of Nightmare Before Christmas— especially Danny Elfman's songs. (Elfman voiced Bonejangles, too.) The look of the film is beautiful; it's like a 3-D Edward Gorey claymation fest. The characters and sets are amazing, with an unbelieveable amount of detail. I couldn't get over the oil paintings in the background of the scenes at the Everglots' mansion. Sometimes it's a little too familiar, too reminiscent of Nightmare, but it's sweet and funny and extremely well done.
