Wow, looks just as craptastic as the Nightmare Before Christmas.

I kid, I kid. But isn't claymation a little old? It's not groundbreaking, remember Rudolph?

I have to say, the dude looks cool...If that is a dude...

I quite like the fact that Burton went for claymation, in part because I imagine over the next few years, the box office is going to be flooded with CGI animation films. I think the reason why Nightmare Before Christmas has become such a cult hit is because no one had really seen anything like it before or since. Until now.

The stop-motion animation tactic in this is different. In Nightmare, they wanted it to look like a living illustration. In The Corpse Bride, the characters and backgrounds are very smooth, making it look more like CGI, as opposed to how they literally scratched lines in the sets for Nightmare.

I've never been a huge fan of CGI, w/ the exception of movies done entirely in CGI, like Spirits Within, and new Advent Children. But i really do like claymation because even though it is very old, it can be done quite well, and looks better than CGI done like crap.

Isn't that movie done in CGI? :-?

As far as I know, ya. Burton did it CGI in the stop motion style. That's why it looks so smooth.
