Which and why? Nightmare vs. Corpse Bride?

The Nightmare Before Christmas has sentimentality for me, and I love Jack Skellington to pieces, more so than Victor

I love both movies for different reasons.

I like Nightmare because it feels more like halloween.

Nightmare, because I like its music better than the music in Corpse Bride. Also, I feel the story line is better in Nightmare than Corpse Bride.

This will most likely earn me a verbal a$$ beating on this board, but I've never been a fan of either movie. Sorry, just being honest.

Don't hate me.

I like the Nightmare Before Christmas, my wife liked the Corpse Bride. I'll vote when she's not looking.

What are these 2 movies meant for anyways, teens or adults?

I think they're made for both . . .

I was just curious how other people felt, I've watched Nightmare this year, but I'll wait to cast a vote til I see Corpse Bride again. My initial reaction is that Nightmare does have the better music, as someone said.

I love both of these movies but I guess that Nightmare before Christmas might have a bit more Halloween in it..

Corpse Bride seemed to be missing something . . .

I'd like a write in vote for James and the Giant Peach.
JK!
I think the characters in Nightmare were more abundant, imaginative & fun. The character's lines were well thought out and perfect for each charater to say.

While Bride was more like a zombie holding a human captive, under faulse pretenses. But the animation was just as good. Just as imaginative, and it held true to the visual stylings of Tim Burton.

In either case, the characters seemed to have the same emotions and human spirit, dispite their outward appearances. Which is something I enjoyed about both movies. In Bride, the human characters were more monsterous, and the dead charaters were more human and fun.

You can't say that the performance in the cantena/bar, wasn't entertaining. I thought the song and the visual jokes were amazing. But, alas, no werewolf.

Pity, that.

I don't know what should I vote for... I am not really big fan of both movies, but I would say I go for Nightmare B4 Christmas!

And, the reason why is... I really don't know!
