2 very good stop-motion animated movies, 2 very good movies from visionary director Tim Burton, 2 very good movies with different plots. I made 5 rounds. Each round will have a topic and the two movies could have a chance of winning.

Round One: Story Telling:

The Nightmare Before Christmas is about Jack Skellington, a skelleton who is also the 'Pumpkin King' of Halloweentown. Every year, Halloweentown celebrates Halloween and each year, gets better and better. But Jack is getting tired of it. He accidently goes into Christmastown and tries to make his own Christmas.

The Corpse Bride is about young Victor Van Dort and his arranged marriage to Victoria Everglotte. While reciting his vows in the forrest, he puts his wedding ring on a twig. Surprise! It wasn't a twig, it was the finger of a corpse! Now, Victor is summon to the land of the dead while the land of the living wonders where he is.

Round 1 is a tie.

Round Two: Female Hero's:

The Nightmare has Sally, the rag doll, a creation of Dr. Finkletein. She has a crush on Jack, and tries to stick by him 100% but with an awful premonition about Jack's Christmas, she tries to him.

The Corpse Bride has, well, the Corpse Bride, a woman named Emily who got murdered the night before her wedding. She wants Victor to be her husband.

Round Two goes to 'The Nightmare'

Round Three: Hero

The Nightmare has Jack and his trusty ghost dog, Zero. He saves Sally and Santa from Oogie Boogie and saves the entire Christmas holiday.

The Corpse Bride has Victor saving Emily (The Corpse Bride) from a broken heart as he suffers his life to be her husband. He also saves Victoria from Lord Barkis.

Round Three goes to 'Nightmare'

Round Four: Voice Overs:

The Nightmare contains the voices of Chris Sarandon and Catherine O'Hara as Jack and Sally.

The Corpse contains the voices of Acadamy Award winner, Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Albert Finny and Tracy Ulman

Round Four goes to 'The Corpse'

Round Five: Villains:

The Nightmare's villain is Oogie Boogie. A mean, green, Boogeyman who kidnaps Sandy Claus and Sally and has three trick or treaters to do his dirty work, named Lock, Shock and Barrel

The Corpse has Lord Barkis. A human man who marries Victoria when Victor goes missing. He can get killed much more easier then Oogie Boogie.

Round Five goes to Nightmare.

Round Round-up:

The Nightmare: 4

The Corpse: 2

Both Movies are really good. The Nightmare is just better in some things, then the Corpse. I love both movies.
