More than a decade after "The Nightmare Before Christmas," Tim Burton marries painstaking stop-motion animation with digital technology in "Tim Burton's Corpse Bride."

TIM BURTON’S CORPSE BRIDE |
Director: Tim Burton, Mike Johnson Cast: Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Emily Watson, Tracey Ullman, Paul Whitehouse, Joanna Lumley, Albert Finney Rating: Rating: PG for some scary images and action, and brief mild language Running time: 74 minutes |

And at an efficient 74 minutes, the whole family can enjoy it together.
