Editorial Review:
Who else but Tim Burton could make Corpse Bride, a necrophiliac's delight that's fun for the whole family? Returning to the richly imaginative realm of stop-motion animation (after previous successes with The Nightmare Before Christmas and James and the Giant Peach), Burton, with codirector Mike Johnson, invites us to visit the dour, ashen, and drearily Victorian mansions of the living, where young Victor Van Dort (voiced by Johnny Depp) is bequeathed to wed the lovely Victoria (Emily Watson). But the wedding rehearsal goes sour and, in the kind of Goth-eerie forest that only exists in Burton-land, Victor suddenly finds himself accidentally married to the Corpse Bride (Helena Bonham Carter), a blue-tinted, half-skeletal beauty (how pleasantly full-bosomed she remains!) with a loquacious maggot installed behind one prone-to-popping eyeball. This being a Burton creation, the underworld of the dead is a lively and colorful place indeed, and Danny Elfman's songs and score make it even livelier, presenting Victor with quite a dilemma: Should he return above-ground to Victoria, or remain devoted to his corpse bride? At a brisk 76 minutes, Burton's graveyard whimsy (loosely based on a 19th century Russian folktale) never wears out its welcome, and the voice casting (which includes Tracey Ullman and Albert Finney) is superbly matched the film's gloriously amusing character design, guaranteed to yield a wealth of gruesome toys and action figures for many Halloweens to come. --Jeff Shannon
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 while his real bride Victoria waits bereft in the land of the living. Though life in the Land of the Dead proves to be a lot more colorful 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.Running Time: 77 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: CHILDREN/FAMILY UPC: 012569593503 Manufacturer No: 59350

Rating: - A Technical Acheivment for the Ages; This Corpse Grows on You
Well people, there are plenty of reviews here to let you know what this is all about; the story, the feel, the emotion, etc., etc. However, most only make a passing remark concerning the "Claymation". Though I have not read all of the reviews here, I have not found one that really makes it clear what an artistic achievement this film really is. "Oh it's a kid's film that's too scary for kids"; is a fairly common criticism. Complaints of its brevity have come from lovers and haters alike. Some ... Read More
Rating: - More Burton brilliance.
I'll say it now, I LOVED THIS MOVIE.
I've never seen The Nightmare Before Christmas so I wasn't sure what to expect from a Burton animation.
In a word, brilliant.
Dark, humorous, all the strangeness we've come to love and expect from Burton.
A cute, somewhat macabre cartoon.
The animation is awesome, the voice acting is awesome, there really isn't anything bad to say about this movie.
I'll say it one more time, brilliant.
Another Burton masterpiece.

It's odd that Tim Burton's Corpse Bride should be released the same year as Wallace & Gromit - The Curse of the Were-Rabbit. Perhaps it was just an unfortunate coincidence that the two films, both are stop-motion animation, came out during the same time. Both films are great and award-worthy (W&G won the "Best Animated Feature" Oscar). Too bad this film wasn't held back until 2006 when it almost would've been guaranteed the award.
Johnny Depp voices the prim and proper Victor who is ... Read More
