Impossible. Tim Burton's worst film will always be the worst film ever made, among a few others, but the title is still held by Mars Attacks!

[sweetxmisery]

i agree, mars attacks is still the worst. ever.

i saw corspe bride last weekend and i liked it, but i didnt love it like i normally do w/tim burton's movies (w/mars attacks and planet of the apes being exceptions because they both sucked).

i thought the animation was amazing and that was the best part of the movie. more could have been done w/it to make it one of his best movies.

frankenweenie was awesome.

I wonder about animation sometimes... I've seen how time and time and time spent with attention to detail can make any animation project better... I like the style I see with Nightmare, Corpse Bride... The problem comes when the animation is the best part of the movie... it needs that stellar story with no holes to be amazing... Every1 seems to agree the story wasn't that great... I dunno... I don't know if I could ever be one of those Tim Burton groupies... I think I only have room in my life for my Kevin Smith groupie status... You guys can have Tim Burton, Wes Anderson, and company... Hehe. I think I'd rather see Serenity.

while trying to convince my husband and friends that A Nightmare Before X-mas was a movie worth watching I showed them the two Tim Burton shorts on Nightmare. Started with Vincent, they loved it. Then I showed them Frankweenie, they all fell asleep. So it's not one of my favorites. And didn't ever use it to convince others that Burton's movies are good :).

You can see all the starts out at our house. A plus to living a little further out of the city.
Sucks to hear the Corpse Bride was no good. I fucking love the Nightmare Before Christmas and was hoping it would compare.

I never saw Nightmare, but I don't know if there is a gap in quality of his work (from what people are telling me) between what he directs and what he writes/produces... Didn't direct Nightmare, but tossed in all the money to produce it... Not sure if he wrote Corpse Bride, but directed it... I dunno... I don't know what goes on in the whole process... I'm sure he had a part in all of it, but maybe less in one area for one movie, more in another? I need to sit down and watch nightmare.

Your facts are not completely factual

It's called "Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas" He wrote the story.
It looks like the story of Corpse Bride is loosely based on old folkstory produced by Vinton Studios. So I suppose Burton helped meld the stories together. So the corpse Bride isn't completely written by him as Nightmare was.
He co-directed on both films. So you're right that he didn't "produce" either. Henry Selick directed Nightmare and Edward Douglas directed Corpse Bride.
But overall, I don't think Burton films are meant to be picked apart. They're usually fun movies with a different spin on reality. We should just enjoy them.

if you do see corpse bride go in w/an open mind and dont try to compare it to nightmare. too many ppl do that. i think in respects to corpse bride and corpse bride alone it was good. the animation is the best thing about it. just take what you get from it and judge it for yourself.
