What Parents Need to Know
About Tim Burton's Corpse Bride
Parents need to know that this movie includes multiple references to dead bodies, skeletons, decay, and death, though all in good fun. The corpse bride's eye pops out occasionally, to show the talking maggot who lives inside and offers romantic advice. The story concerns a young man and woman who meet for a marriage arranged by their parents, both families in need of money. The young man's betrothal to the corpse bride leads him to contemplate his own death, in order to fit in with her friends. Song and dance numbers feature skeletons, corpses, and ghosts. Both sets of parents are using their children to achieve money and status. And when the live bride-to-be asks the local pastor for help, the film raises questions concerning the effectiveness of organized religion.

Bone chilling comedy
I liked the movie. I found some real cool movies for kids on youtube. These are the BEST I've ever seen and they keep adding a new one each month. These movies were made by a 16 yr. old. Check em out at: http://www.youtube.com/user/ManikaMovies
