When a shy groom practices his wedding vows in the inadvertent presence of a deceased young woman, she rises from the grave assuming he has married her. Corpse Bride is directed by Tim Burton and Mike Johnson and stars Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter and Emily Watson. Corpse Bride is a very well written and beautiful looking animation but i was also expecting a little bit more at times and i don't mean that in a bad way it's just that i was expecting a little bit more adventure something like Coco perhaps? Or just something like 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' of course this is still a terrific film but definitely not one of Burton's best films i'm afraid but watchable still. (7,8/10)
... View MoreMarvelous! Brilliant animation. Hilarious, sad, happy - a montage of emotion wrapped in animation. 'The Corpse Bride' is my all-time favorite animated film. I just love the premise and the execution thereof. I loved the musical element, and the depiction of the word of the dead as colorful and vibrant, while the world of the living was grey and somber. Absolutely fantastic!! Best viewed on Blu Ray.
