One reason I could think of would be to make it smoother. Take a large book and made large and judicious cuts and what you get is a script with lots of noticeable stitchmarks.
Classic example -- Greta Garbo, Love. Imagine an 80-minute version of Anna Karenina. And that 80 minutes includes both endings (yes, the studio made an alternate happy ending for U.S. audiences).
Not a bad movie on its own, but strictly limited to the Anna-Vronsky story.
Salon has a review of The Corpse Bride. I expect there's a spoiler or two lurking in it: [link]
That's quite the rave review. I expect Jilli will see it about 6 times in the theater.
So, Corpse Bride opens 9/23 in SF. Serenity and Mirrormask 9/30. Wallace & Gromit on 10/7.
That's quite the rave review.
Eeeeeeeee! Oh, I can't wait.
I expect Jilli will see it about 6 times in the theater.
Probably. I saw
Nightmare Before Christmas
something like 8 or 10 times.

From the review, then, I expect you'll see this about the same. Or alternate viewings with Mirrormask. You may be spending a large chunk of the fall at the cinema.
Of course, you'll have to go a bit to top Kathy A's LoTR viewings.
Hey!
(Does quick adding of theater viewings.)
It's a fair cop.
God bless Angry Alien. They're working on Star Wars, Highlander, and King Kong, among others. I make anyone who hasn't seen them watch their "Pulp Fiction" and that usually hooks 'em.
UK GoF trailer. Movie still looks wicked cool.
