Corpse Bride

Following the tradition of his dark imaginative classics like Edward Scissorhands and The Nightmare Before Christmas, Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride shares the shadowy mystique that is the signature style of this unusual director and filmmaker. Set in a European village during the 19th century, Corpse Bride is the stop motion animated story of a young man named Victor who is whisked away to the underworld to marry a mysterious Corpse Bride (Helena Bonham-Carter). As if the marriage isn’t complicated enough, his real bride and true love, Victoria (Emily Watson) is in the land of the living, bereft and waiting to find out the fate of her betrothed.

Though life among the deceased in the Land of te Dead is more varied, exciting and colorful than his strict and proper Victorian lifestyle, Victor realized that there is nothing in this world, or the next, that can keep him away from his one true love. Told in classic Tim Burton fashion, Corpse Bride is a tale of optimism, romance, and a very lively afterlife.
