Feature, Tim Burton's Corpse Bride carries on in the dark, romantic tradition of his classic Edward Scissorhands and Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas. Set in a 19th century European village, this stop-motion, animated feature follows the story of Victor (voiced by Johnny Depp), a young man who is whisked away to the underworld and wed to a mysterious Corpse Bride (voiced by Helena Bonham Carter), while his real bride, Victoria (voiced by Emily Watson), waits bereft in the land of the living. Though life in the Land of the Dead proves to be a lot more colourful than his strict Victorian upbringing, Victor learns that there is nothing in this world - or the next - that can keep him away from his one true love. It's a tale of optimism, romance and a very lively afterlife, told in classic Burton style.

Corpse Bride is the latest animated outing from Tim Burton (director of Edward Scissorhands, Nightmare before christmas,Bigfish to name a few), telling the story of a bittersweet romance set in two worlds.
The movie is set in the 19th Century where two families are set to marry, each hoping to gain riches and higher status by the upcoming nuptuals. Victor Von Dort is our clumsy and clueless groom to be, from the 'nouvoe' rich Von Dort family; hoping to up their social status by marrying their son to the hopeless romantic Victoria from the Everglot family - lords and ladys they may be...but money is something they don't have!
The two youngsters don't meet each other until the day before their wedding, at the wedding rehearsal; where its love at first sight! However, Victor being Victor messes up the rehearsal .. from dropping the ring under his mother-in-law to be dress..to actually setting it on fire! He is deamed 'not ready to get married' and has until dawn to learn his vows (at the same time we meet a 'mysterious stranger'...)
While learning his vows in the dark and foggy woods (as you do!) he realises how much he loves Victoria and the words finally come easily to him, unfortunately, while doing so he places the ring of his beloved on the finger of a corpse and soon finds himself in the land of the not-living
From here its all fun and games (well not really...more like singing and dancing) while victor races against time to make his way back to the living in order to marry the girl of his dreams.....with lots of nasty bumps and suprises along the way!

Burton's best yet. Dead funny, you'll die laughing (Daily Mirror, )
As an achievement in macabre visual wizardry, TIM BURTON'S CORPSE BRIDE has to reckoned some sort of marvel... A sculpted musical dreamscape of kiddie-gothic expressionist design. (Entertainment Weekly, )
Visually Amazing (Total Film, )
The visuals are dazzling and the characters vividly rendered in caricature fashion. Danny Elfman's score may be his best yet, with songs that are witty and melodic. (USA Today, )
Valentine's Day meets Halloween in a goulishly enchanting romance (Yahoo Movies, )
DVD Description
In the same vein as EDWARD SCISSORHANDS and NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS, Tim Burton continues to combine wholesome comedy and creepy horror with this tale of a mild-mannered Victorian gentleman, Victor (Johnny Depp), who accidentally marries a mysterious corpse bride (Helena Bonham-Carter) instead of his intended, Victoria (Emily Watson). Victor soon discovers that the Land of the Dead holds more fun than frights and begins to fall in love with his innocent bride. Meanwhile, Victoria has been drawn into a scam of a marriage and may not escape with her life. As time runs out for everyone, can there be a resolution where everyone gets what he or she deserves? Building on their past productive relationship (EDWARD SCISSORHANDS, ED WOOD), Tim Burton and Johnny Depp create a colourful riot of a film that revives the increasingly rare method of stop-motion animation. Over the period of 10 years that Burton worked to complete the film, new techniques were created to speed the process, including a new way to change the character models' facial expressions by using gears in their heads. Of particular note is the lilting score by Danny Elfman, another longtime Burton collaborator. Fun for adults and children, CORPSE BRIDE is another welcome walk through Tim Burton's twisted mind.
