Tim Burton's "Corpse Bride"

Well, the name of this film might scare you off, but actually it was really cute and funny :) It's a kid's cartoon, but it has enough to keep teens and adults interested too. Basically this guy is betrothed to be married to somebody he's never met for monetary reasons, but on meeting it was love at first sight. However, when he was out in the woods practicing his wedding vows for the following day, he accidentally places the ring on the finger of a girl stuck in an enchantment because he thought her finger was a branch. Anyway, the story twists and turns and you never know what to expect next, but it all ends out good ;) The dead people are not gross or anything, and there's lots of funny parts.. like toward the end this old granny is beating on one of the skeleton dudes, and he's like "sweety pie! buttercup! gertrude!" and she looks at him and realizes it's her husband.. it was pretty funny :) anyway, I think there might have been one place where there was a word slipped in, but it was hardly noticable.. overall I think that this is a good family film :)
I say it gets 7/10
