| Boston HeraldJames Verniere[It] may be the purest expression of Burton's comic-nightmarish neo-gothic vision so far. It also restores the venerable technique known as stop-motion animation to its rightful place as one of cinema's greatest forms. |
| The Hollywood ReporterKirk HoneycuttA wondrous flight of fancy, a stop-motion-animated treat brimming with imaginative characters, evocative sets, sly humor, inspired songs and a genuine whimsy that seldom finds its way into today's movies. |
| TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghBut the real marvel is that beneath the ghoulish in-jokes and horror-geek allusions, there's a core of the same bittersweet truth that makes the best fairy tales resonate from one generation to the next. |
| Salon.comStephanie ZacharekA lush, modern valentine to old-fashioned sentiment, and to old-fashioned moviemaking, too. |
| Houston ChronicleBruce WestbrookAmazingly fluid and drop-dead gorgeous, Tim Burton's Corpse Bride is the best-looking, stop-motion animation film ever. |
| Tooele Transcript-Bulletin (Utah)Audrey Rock-RichardsonBurton makes the combination of death and love feel natural and sweet. |
| Film Freak CentralWalter ChawA melancholic, dulcet little ode to love and sacrifice. |
| Window to the MoviesJeffrey ChenA rebuke to the current 3-D computer animated takeover of the field, and what a beautiful rebuke it is. |

| Philadelphia WeeklySean BurnsTim Burton hasn't just forgotten how to tell a story-- he seems to have forgotten why he even started telling them in the first place. |
