The Corpse Bride (20th Anniversary)
English | USA, UK | 77mins | 2005 | Cert: PG | Dir: Tim Burton & Mike Johnson
From Tim Burton, creator of The Nightmare Before Christmas, this stop-motion gothic fantasy set in a 19th century European village follows Victor, a shy groom-to-be who is whisked away to the underworld when he accidentally practices his wedding vows over grave of the deceased (yet lively) corpse bride Emily, 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 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. This is a visually imaginative and whimsically macabre adventure.
