Welcome back to spooky season! 🍂👻 Our favorite season for cartoons. And we’re diving right into all things gothic and skeletal with stop-motion favorite, Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride! In this episode, Sonya and Deidra break down the gothic and tubercular aesthetic, the “wight in a wedding dress” trope, Russian Jewish fairy tales, the fraught nature of race &amp; diversity in Tim Burton’s aesthetic and works, the intersection of love and tragedy, and the spice of love triangles. Grab your favorite cozy warm beverage and join us for the ride!
And if you enjoy these spooky analyses, check out our episodes on Coraline and Over the Garden Wall!

Join hosts Deidra (she/her) and Sonya (she/her) at the place to take cartoons “too seriously”, where simplified mediums intersect with complex issues.
