Much of what makes Corpse Bride compelling — the fantasy, the animation — shows up in Hotel Transylvania 2 (2015) in a slightly different form. Both films understand that funny storytelling works best when it trusts the audience.

Where Corpse Bride excels in fantasy, Beetlejuice (1988) doubles down on comedy to comparable effect. The tonal similarities run deep enough that watching both back-to-back feels intentional.

The Lobster (2015) is the natural next step after Corpse Bride: same romance DNA, different perspective. The funny streak and comedy elevate it well above a simple genre exercise.
