Andrew Wood is the reason this lands

There is something pretty interesting about how Andrew Wood fits into Corpse Bride (2005). A couple of tiny timing choices really stuck with me. I bought the character pretty quickly, which is not always easy in this kind of film. There is a nice lived-in quality to it, nothing too forced. The small reactions do a lot of the heavy lifting. It is the kind of performance that quietly makes the movie sturdier. That is the part I kept thinking about after the movie ended.
