Product Description
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.

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

5 out of 5 stars Corpse Bride is a Tim Burton Triumph   October 22, 2009
Robert B. Frei (San Antonio TX)
Phenomenal story, cinematography, and stop-animation. Tim Burton proves again that he is a masterful director and simply the best at stop-animation. This story will keep you engaged from start to finish. The Blu Ray version of this film is flawless high-def.

Great deal on a HD movie for my kids. This was a smooth transaction. Item arrived in great condition.


5 out of 5 stars My introduction to this type of movie. Delighted.   October 14, 2009
P. Stein (Beavercreek, OH)
Based on the favorable reviews, I watched this via streaming through my computer. Even with streaming, the level of clarity and detail was amazing. The story was very entertaining, and definitely an adult movie. Adult only because I don't think a child could appreciate what we have here. This was a love story.

The singing, really didn't add much entertainment value, but the piano scene was delightful. Fortunately, the singing was a very small part of the movie. The ending was a delightful surprise. A lot of the movie lacked color, but the grey and white scenery did fit perfectly into those scenes. I plan on watching more of these movies, starting with Nightmare and Coraline.

Tim Burton seems to bring a uniqueness to everything he does and it always seems to include Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter??? No matter it works for me and I am always entertained.
