| | Anonymous 01/20/2007 | | This movie was so cute! I really liked it. It had a great story line and funny characters, as well as amazing actors to bring the characters alive with their voices. I love how the characters look (it's my favorite part of Tim Burton movies). I'm 14, but even I enjoyed the creative songs embedded into this adorable (if I can call corpses adorable) animated movie. |
