Paranormal Romance & Urban Fantasy discussion

Which one do you think was better: The Nightmare Before Christmas or Corpse Bride?

I enjoyed both movies, but I loved The Nightmare Before Christmas way better because I really loved Jack Skellington and the story was much more interesting and emotional than Corpse Bride.

Corpse bride kind of annoyed me, so I'll say Nightmare.

hmm.. thats a toughy for me.. i love both movies.. but im a burton fan lol..umm.. probably nightmare because its been around longer but i do love both :)

I was just wondering what annoyed you the most in Corpse Bride? :)

I don't know, at times it seemed rushed, and other times I felt like my head was spinning as I watched it. It just wasn't what I was expecting I guess. After hearing how incredible it was I felt....underwhelmed.

I felt the same way too about Corpse Bride. I thought that the story seemed a bit too rushed and I couldn't quite follow what was going on in the movie. At least, with The Nightmare Before Christmas, the story moved smoothly enough for me to follow.

Yeah, I get you.

Nightmare before Christmas without a doubt.

TNBC, definitely. One of my favorite movies ever.

The Nightmare Before Christmas is a fav of mine. I love it so much that I have the soundtrack on my iPod and I even have different versions of the main songs. (For example: This is Halloween by Marilyn Mason and Sally's Song by Amy Lee)

I love Jack!

I loved the Amy Lee version of Sally's Song! I actually heard of the remix cd of The Nightmare Before Christmas and I loved Sally's Song the best!!!

LOL! My older daughter's ringtone on my phone is a snip from Sally's song of woe.

That's awesome Brenna!! I always wanted to have that song somewhere on my ringtone too!

I would have to say The Nightmare Before Christmas, but I love all of Tim's stuff. He's such an oddball, just like me :)

By a very thin margin, I prefer Corpse Bride, the songs, the story and Johnny Depp.

Yeah! I loved the way that Tim Burton makes movies that no one else can make like Edward Scissorhands and Beetlejuice and I love the way that most of his movies are dark comedy rather than follow what the main movie marketers would do.

Nightmare Before Christmas scared me as a kid, seriously! (I was 6 when I first saw it) But I always liked it. I saw a little bit of Corpse Bride, and turned it off, I wasn't interested in finishing it. Don't know why.

Ouch... I know how old I was when Nightmare came out. Makes me feel old now.

Yeah!! I remembered I used to be scared of The Nightmare Before Christmas too!! I was 5 years old when it came out and I couldn't watch that movie because the characters looked so creepy!! I didn't watch this movie until I was in high school and I ended up loving it ever since!

"Nightmare Before Christmas" is great! I love Jack's voice. :)
