Seemed to live up to the hype

Verified Purchase:Yes
I hadn't seen this but heard good things about it. 2 of my kids read the books. The price was decent for a bundle of 4 movies and 2 bonus discs. What I expected to be a "one movie a week" thing turned into "1 film a night for 4 nights in a row". Even my wife, who normally doesn't really get into movies, was into this series. It was her demand that we watched them all in a row.

Two movies for the price of 1

My kids like Rio, and with 2 movies in one case, it takes up less shelf space and twice the enjoyment. Win-Win the way I see it. Less than the price of each individually bought together in this bundle.
Plus, keep in mind, when you own the media, there's no buffering issues that you get with online streaming services.

OK at best but not a bad film.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I had to get this for my child who was doing a compare/contrast between the book(which we got for her Kindle) and the film(which we bought on DVD since it was in the bargain bin).
The movie wasn't bad, but it needed a more thorough backstory for it to completely make sense, hence read the book. This hurts some of the point to the secondary plot, which probably drives the series.
Definitely a B-grade film. Probably had close to $10Million sunk into it and they did a fantastic job of stretching it without looking cheap. Had to have been shot on either digital video tape or digital media and not "film look" post processing, giving it a very "antisceptic" clean look that most people prefer for TV but not film. The film does merit a second viewing. With an understanding of the basic story and plot lines and no longer distracted by many of the very cool special effects and action sequences(often combined), you can really dig deeper and pick up the not as obvious elements, which while not immensely important, do add to not only an appreciation for the movie itself, but also to a greater understanding of the overall film. They did a decent job making this film stand alone, basically giving you nearly everything you need for enjoying the film. Still this isn't going to win awards. It's below the level of a mainstream film, yet is a step above most indy films. It almost seems like it was adapted from the book for a premium type cable-tv type service as a much hyped feature. This would be a perfect film for SCI-FI and a few other networks like that.
Based on the price for the series on BluRay, if the price dropped a bit, I'd probably buy all 3 in the series. Maybe if there was a good priced boxed set would be nice if under $30.
I'm saying "not recommending to a friend" only because I think this better appeals to those who read the book. Having the extra information really helps.

![Tim Burton's Corpse Bride [Blu-ray] [2005]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/8038/8038161_sa.jpg)
Package Description: An Academy Award nominee and National Board of Review Award winner as 2005's Best Animated Feature, Tim Burton's Corpse Bride carries on in the dark, romantic tradition of his classic Edward Scissorhands and Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas. Set in a 19th-century European village, this stop-motion animated feature follows the story of Victor (voiced by Johnny Depp), a young man whisked away to the underworld and wed to a mysterious Corpse Bride (voiced by Helena Bonham Carter), while his real bride Victoria (voiced by Emily Watson) waits bereft in the land of the living. Though life in the Land of the Dead proves to be a lot more colorful than his strict upbrings, Victor learns that there is nothing in this world - or the next - that can keep him away from his one true love. It's a tale of optimism, romance and a very lively afterlife, told in classic Burton style.

Decent movie but not ideal for the little ones

Fans of Tim Burton will no doubt like this film. It's short with a strong story. it's a big stiff and rigid but that goes along with the period setting. When the underworld and the above world collide, the clash is more than it appears, but less ominous than one would think. For $10, this is seriousl a bargain.
