Synopsis

Returning to the painstaking stop-motion animation he employed with amazing success in The Nightmare Before Christmas, Tim Burton presents a hair-raising legend based on a 19th-century Russian folktale, in which a young man mistakenly weds a corpse while on a two-day trek to the village of his real bride-to-be. It is up to the groom's flesh-and-blood fiancée, who has been pining for the arrival of her intended, to face her wraith-like rival and make peace with her by promising to live her dreams for her and by vowing to remember her always. Only then are the living bride and groom free to proceed with their own wedding ceremony in the warmhearted fable Tim Burton's Corpse Bride.

Clarence B
An imaginative, witty and dark animated feature
06 December 2008
‘The Corpse Bride’ is another animated masterpiece from the idiosyncratic Tim Burton. Johnny Depp (who else would star in a Burton film!) voices the main character, Victor, who inadvertently proposes to a deceased Bride while practising his wedding vows in the deep forest. Now married, Victor is taken into the underworld in what has to be cinema’s strangest ever wedding ceremony. The film jumps genre between comedy, romance, brilliantly dark fantasy, superb animation and an enormously witty set of songs by master composer Danny Elfman. The film is great from beginning to end. Though possessing less longevity than ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’ and fewer memorable songs, the film is a typically dark and unique offering from Tim Burton and deserves to be considered as one of the best and most original animated movies around.
