1st Let me say that I love Tim Burtons creativity in every thing that he creates, however, this one is only second-best to "The Corpse Bride" aslo created by Tim Burton. Your reviews make me want to watch it again but it left me feeling a little sad. 2) The Corpse Bride, on-the-other-hand, also had an arrangement of a planned marriage which goes array after the planned couple meet for the first time (of course the groom to be was a nervous wreck before and as they were meeting). Very, very, soon enters a Villian; who causes the break-up the arrangements & plans for that particular wedding and suddenly, new plans are made for the-bride-to-be. then the little scared Groom-that-was-to-be comes to make a realization that he would like to spend forever with that Bride-to-be but in order for theirs arrangements to be honored-he needs a plan. One of the Arrangements take place but only after a "Twisted-Turn-of-Events take you down to a place that I can easy say it's as Wild-of-a-ride-as-Alice in Wonderland and you will love this just as much except this part has a Catchy Tune Sung by Souls in the Afterlife who help the Once-to-be-Groom come forge a plan, which make you drawn-in that much more BUT YOU MUST WATCH TO FIND & LOVE JUST HOW FUNNY IT IS

I ordered this movie thinking it would come to my home so my whole family could watch it together, but now I find it can only be viewed on my computer or phone. Please take the movie back and return my money and I will buy it elsewhere. Thank you for your time. I'm not able to get hold of a person to help me.

'TNBC' has a special place in my heart around the holidays for many years now. The visuals are a treat and songs are iconic earworms. But if I'm being honest, the story is kind of... not great. It's basically bored Jack finding something new, taking over new thing because he believes he's successful at everything (even if he doesn't understand it), then ruins the holiday for others till stopped, and is like... whatever about all this. Also romance and Rudolph stories mixed in as well?
