When a shy groom practices his wedding vows in the inadvertent presence of a deceased young woman, she rises from the grave assuming he has married her. Corpse Bride is directed by Tim Burton and Mike Johnson and stars Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter and Emily Watson. Corpse Bride is a very well written and beautiful looking animation but i was also expecting a little bit more at times and i don't mean that in a bad way it's just that i was expecting a little bit more adventure something like Coco perhaps? Or just something like 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' of course this is still a terrific film but definitely not one of Burton's best films i'm afraid but watchable still. (7,8/10)

The cartoon "Corpse Bride" tells the story of the son of rich fish merchants Victor and his adventures. It's not a horror, but it has some elements of a fantasy. The cartoon is set in the Victorian era. Characters-dolls live in two divided worlds: the Land of the Living and The Land of the Dead.The film has a quality cast. It begins when Victor Van Dort, stared by Johny Deep, and the daughter of impoverished aristocrats, Victoria Everglot, stared by Emily Watson, are preparing for their arranged marriage, which will simultaneously raise the social class of Van Dorts and restore the wealth of Everglots. Victor runs the wedding rehearsal by forgetting his words of the oath.The film is full of thrilling moments and unexpected tums. The film was directed by Mike Johnson and Tim Burton. They were able to answer a lot of questions from viewers. And although the color scheme in the cartoon is quite gray, thanks to their ideas, the cartoon is very interesting. The musical accompaniment, created by Danny Elfman, made this picture more enchanting.I recommend Copse Bride. You can immerse yourself in Victorian era, go to the Land of the Dead and enjoy beautiful music while watching this cartoon.

The Corpse Bride (Tim Burton, 2005) is a classic Tim Burton movie. It has the expressionist over the top sets and strange character design that Burton seems to like so much. If you enjoy Tim Burton's other work, you would almost definitely enjoy this film. The Corpse Bride stars a young shy man named Victor who is to be married to a Lady Victoria Everglot, and along the way, he accidentally marries a corpse. This Corpse, named Emily, brings him into a world of the dead existing just below the living. Throughout the movie, Tim Burton really utilizes the freedom given by animation. So much so that a number of characters are just moving caricatures of what they represent. For example, the upper class, old money Lady Maudeline Everglot is more chin than face or her greedy husband Lord Finis Everglott is rounder and fatter than he is tall. All in all, this movie is highly entertaining and very enjoyable and I recommend it especially to people with small children as it is a movie the entire family will find enjoyable.

Tim Burton strikes again with another hit animated film. If you're in the mood for something unsettling, but not outright terrifying, then this is the movie for you. With big names like Johnny Depp (Victor) and Helena Bonham Carter (Emily) providing the voice acting, Burton brings to life the story of an arranged marriage, but with some added twists, like the interference of the undead and a couple of jazz musical numbers. Get ready for an emotional ride as you find yourself sympathizing with the undead and the plight of the young lovers caught in a love triangle between Victor, Emily, and Victoria (Emily Watson). Though a great movie to watch around Halloween, I highly recommend it for any occasion.
