New, longer Corpse Bride trailer up

July 7, 2005 Corpse Bride, Projects

[emily](http://playlist.yahoo.com/makeplaylist.dll?id=1367919&sdm=web&qtw=480&qth=300)There’s a new [trailer](http://playlist.yahoo.com/makeplaylist.dll?id=1367919&sdm=web&qtw=480&qth=300) up for [Corpse Bride](http://imdb.com/title/tt0121164/combined), which tells a lot more of the story than the [teaser trailer](http://www.apple.com/trailers/wb/corpse_bride/) did.

I have mixed feelings about the new trailer. Visually, it all looks great. This one shows a lot more of what makes the animation so distinctive. For instance, pay attention to Corpse Bride’s veil, how it flutters and flows. Then remember that this was all shot one frame at a time. Creating the illusion of continuous movement was incredibly difficult, and they did it incredibly well.

I’m not crazy about the voice-over. The rhyming doesn’t really work for me, and the announcer is the same guy who does all the stuff for the WB Network (“Tonight, on an all-new Gilmore Girls, Rory blah blah blah”). It feels too much like a featurette for my taste. I would have suggested stopping at the shorter, funnier teaser. But that’s just me.

See it [here](http://playlist.yahoo.com/makeplaylist.dll?id=1367919&sdm=web&qtw=480&qth=300).
