Thanks for the response, Ragandbone. I actually thought of that one too and even checked it. It is actually not puppetry, but live action shown in silhouette. I can relate to why you thought of that one though and it wouldn't have been out of place in that film given all the unusual use of the camara in that movie (I'm thinkinbg particularily of the street scene in London where Dracula first sees Mina--they used a hand-cranked camara from the silent movie era for that and ran color film through it).
Actually the movie turned out to be Corpse Bride. I haven made sure, but an internet searched revealed that Emily's backstory is told through use of shadow puppetry.
Thanks again!
John
