Corpse Bride Trailer

The trailer is out for Tim Burton's Corpse Bride. As someone who thinks The Nightmare Before Christmas (which Burton produced and co-wrote) is one of the underrated masterpieces of the 1990s, I am eager for a return to form for Burton. With the exception of Ed Wood, Burton's early-'80s animated shorts, particularly Vincent and Frankenweenie, might remain my favorite works of his. For me, Burton is at his best when unfettered by the maturity hoisted upon him when he undertakes more mainstream fare. A vivid stylist with a childlike appreciation of the fantastic and macabre, Burton loses his way when saddled with complicated, grown-up stories and themes.

A long-winded way of saying I'm looking forward to Corpse Bride.
