This movie is amazing, one of Tim Burton's best in my opinion. It's such a quirky story and the humour vaguely reminds me of Oscar Wilde's Importance of being Ernest. The stop motion is breath-taking. It's great for any age but probably appreciated more by those over 15.

Bit weird and dark. Kids did not like it. Not sure if it is a good adult cartoon either.

It's not Cloud Street, unusual and aussie , nice animation with some singing, the content probably not understandable by young, young ones and not that appealing, but if you like Tim Burton, I would say 12 years and up might like On a par with Coralina.

Was not sure what to expect but had heard it was good. I did enjoy the movie and saw it as an adults cartoon, but wondered if the scene underground was more suited to the childrens age group, but good all the same.

It's a true masterpiece and a very touching love story. My 6-year old daughter was deeply moved.

You could say it was bad, and you couldn't say it was good. On the fence for me, so you decide...

A good animated film typical Tim Burton and Johnny Depp even as an animated character Johnny is able to bring Victor to life.

This is truly a Tim Burton concept and very typical of his darkness in portraying a story. The puppetry is absolutely fantastic and the voice excellently matched to every character. Would recommend child supervision as it is not really a young child's movie.

Tim Burton fans will enjoy another of his fairytales - the movie is short but fun. The extras show how much effort was put into making and filming the stop-motion puppets, very interesting.

I like the nobility of the Corpse Bride's choice in the movie. I found the leading man likeable but a little frustrating due to his lack of positive action. The animation was fabulous in creating the mood of the film;the fingers playing on the piano were particularly brilliant.

I found this movie a let down after having read other views comments and the press. Certainly the special effects and animation were excellent, but found the storyline somewhat boring. Would never have picked Johnny Depp as "Victor". He certainly is very talented!!

If you loved ab fab you'll know the voices of patsy(Joanna Lumley) and bubbles (Jane Horrocks) not to mention Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter and of course Albert Finney it is amazing how close to the actors the animation is
