The Corpse Bride

Was ok, but the protagonists were all pretty ineffectual, and I thought the story relied too heavily on narrative conventions to drive the relationships. I'd say more but I don't want to spoil anything, since it did have its moments.

The skeleton dance was the most fun in the movie, but like pretty much all of Elfman's music it evaporated from my mind as soon as it was over. Honestly, the only things he's ever written that I can actually call to mind are ones that have been drilled into my skull through sheer repetition (the themes to Beetlejuice, the Simpsons, and Sledge Hammer, to be precise).
