Corpse Bride

Corpse Bride (僵尸新娘) is yet another musical stop-animation film by Tim Burton. This time the story deals with a boy named Victor who finds himself accidentally married to a corpse while practicing his wedding vows. Then begins a dramatic episode of Victor desperately trying to return to the world of the living to marry the girl he loves (Victoria) while Emily the corpse bride chases after him. The movie is set in a gloomy Victorian era setting. Johnny Depp plays the voice actor for Victor while Helena Bonham Carter plays the voice of Emily.

Burton does an excellent job with The Corpse Bride. The graphics are awesome and beautiful. Emily is hardly as creepy as I thought she would be; instead, she is beautiful. Her movements combined with her wedding gown all make her look extremely graceful. The music is also very nice. I especially enjoy Victor's Piano Solo, not so much the singing though. Overall The Corpse Bride tells of a lovely tale about two people that never could have met, all because of an honest mistake, that combines beautiful music and animations.
