Corpse Bride

Caught this one while down in Philly last weekend. It wasn't really my choice to check it out, one of those going along with the group things… it was painful.

The animation and storyline were nice, but essentially this movie is a musical, and they waste not time making that apparent. If memory serves me correctly, the opening dialogue is a song, which hit me like flying ninja star. First off, I want to see this movie about as bad I want to get my colon cleaned, and then I find out it's a musical within the first 30 seconds. It's like being coerced in skydiving even though your scared of heights, and then, right as your feet leave the plane, realising your parachute is broken - it's gonne be a long, downhill journey.

My only laugh came with the help of Ron Burgundy: There's a scene in which Emily (the Corpse Bride) is talking to Scraps (the dead dog) looking for advice. She asks hime a question, and he barks in response. I gave a small chuckle as I pictured her saying, "Oh, Scraps, you know I don't speak Spanish!" :)
