Another magical Burton concoction

Rating: 9/10 (1 October 2005)

The delightful director Tim Burton has done it again with "Corpse Bride", a wonderful stop-motion animated film. Johnny Depp, fresh from his role as Willy Wonka in another Burton film, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", re-teams with Burton to star as Victor Van Dort, a shy groom who gets more than he bargained for when he "marries" a dead woman, Emily (voiced by Helena Bonham Carter). She then whisks Victor to the land of the dead, and now Victor has to find his way out. Depp and Bonham Carter work their characters with magic and wonder. Kids younger than 8 may find this film scary, but I personally enjoyed it. I give this film a nine out of ten. Go see it if you get the chance! It's wonderful, and kids and adults will equally enjoy it.
