Yahoo News – Mike Collett-White – VENICE (Reuters) – In Tim Burton’s ghoulish but hilarious animation movie “Corpse Bride,” the world of the dead is full of color, music and fun while the land of the living is black, white and oppressive.
For his latest film showcased at the Venice Film Festival on Wednesday, the director used painstaking “stop-motion” animation techniques with models, setting it apart from the more common computer generation used in hits like “Shrek” and “Toy Story.”
The film which took Burton 10 years to bring to the screen is not in competition for the Golden Lion this year, but the thunderous reception it received at a preview for the press and critics late on Tuesday suggested it may have been a contender.
