Review:

Childhood favourite. I loved this film when I was younger and I still love it now. I love the character of Victor because he is just nervous about pleasing his wife to be and then he accidently promises to marry a dead woman. He is so adorably clumsy but he is also trustworthy, even if he may not want to keep the promise. And I love the hopeless romantacism of Emily because even after the love of her life killed her for her money, she still believes that her true love will find her. But my all time favourite character in the Tim Burton films is Bonejangles, the jazz singing skeleton, who I love. 

Tim Burton has to be my favourite Director because he does such dark films but he tones it down in some instances, like for the kids films, like Corpse Bride but I still like it because it is romantic and a musical and about dead people. I like it.
