This is an example of 'Puppet Animation', where most of the time the characters are animated using the method of stop-motion.
The puppets are animated generally in a constrained environment and animated to interact with each other. To aid their movement, their body structure can be made to have an armature which allows them to mimic humanlike movements.
This method would be tedious but could create really precise smooth motions. To reduce the time it would take to keep changing the puppets when their facial expressions changed, in the Corpse Bride, mechanical faces were used. This allowed them to change the expressions any time without creating a whole new puppet.
Below is an article explaining in a vast amount of information about the processes used to create this animation: http://www.awn.com/articles/production/icorpse-bridei-stop-motion-goes-digital/page/2%2C1
