tim burton's "corpse bride"

Corpse Bride carries on in the dark, romantic tradition of Tim Burton’s classic films Edward Scissorhands and The Nightmare Before Christmas. Set in a 19th  century European village, this stop motion, animated feature follows the story of Victor (Johnny Depp), a young man who is whisked away to the underworld and wed to a mysterious Corpse Bride (Helena Bonham-Carter), while his real bride, Victoria (Emily Watson), waits bereft in the land of the living. Though land of the dead proves to be a lot more colourful 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. It’s a tale of optimism, romance and a very lively afterlife, told in a classic Tim Burton style.

The extraordinary cast of puppet characters were created by the team at Mackinnon & Saunders based on original designs by Tim Burton and Carlos Grangel.

Directed by Tim Burton and Mike Johnson and Produced by Allison Abbate.
