Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story/The Corpse Bride

Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story Being based on Family Guy you should know what you’re in for. If you don’t, Family Guy is possibly the most un-politically correct series on T.V. I’m not saying it’s a bad thing, well perhaps it is in some places, but generally it’s a piss-take on anything and everything. And it works! The movie is pretty hilarious, with its no holds barred humour from the outset. Almost always films that go straight to video, in my opinion are a laughable waste of time. However, I can guess the reasons for this going straight to video, being an uproar if it was in the cinemas and a likely chance of it not even being shown in cinemas. However, depending on your taste of humour and your views on the series, I’d say this is worth a shot.

The Corpse Bride The Burton/Depp combination is back again. The Corpse Bride Uses the same animation techniques as the Nightmare Before Christmas, not to mention the same Director, this film has a whole host of celebrity goodness doing the voice acting. Christopher Lee is superb as the sort of evil looking priest (What? You expected him to be a goodie character?!), Johnny Depp plays a strange shrinking-violet and hilariously clumsy lead, which makes a change from his latest roles. You’ll also be priveleged -gets coat- to hear that Joanna Lumley also lends her posh accent.

I thoroughly recommend this film, in fact even if it is different to The Nightmare Before Christmas, I probably prefer this one. On a tangent, I always seem to see the same sort of artistic curly shapes in Tim Burton films, can’t really explain it.

Oh! And the Corpse Bride is quite hot and before you condemn me for saying that, I know she’s made out of plastic, not real AND corpsified, thankfully I wasn’t the first to suggest it
