Pure Tim Burton Magic

Rating: 10/10 (29 March 2006)

Wow, I gotta tell you. It seems Tim Burton has truly created an animated masterpiece. I would say that this movie will become a classic for all ages. Corpse Bride is a tale of love with a little dark twist. The plot is great, the animation is amazing and Tim Burton has a truly powerful arsenal of actors young and old including Johnny Depp,Helena Bonham Carter, Emily Watson, Albert Finney, Christopher Lee, and Michael Gough to name a few, most of which he's worked with several times before.
The story follows a Victor Van Dort a timid pianist, who is betrothed to Victoria Everglot. But while practicing his vows he accidentally marries Emily the Corpse Bride. Now Victor must chose between his two brides.
The movie has great music which I think is Danny Elfman's best piece with orchestral music. The lyrical music was good, but not quite as memorable as The Nightmare Before Christmas. And the ending of this movie is incredibly emotional and definitely the perfect way to end this spectacular movie.
If you enjoy movies that are whimsical yet dark or a Tim Burton fan, this is a movie for you
