Amazing story with amazing ending

Rating: 10/10 (25 May 2017)

Tim Burton films are all very unusual and extravagant. His "Corpse Bride" is not an exception. This fantasy story is full of adventures. I like this film very much because of cute characters. They're like real people. Their features are the result of their past and the reason for their future.
The story begins in a small Victorian town. Victor Van Dort's parents want him to get married to young Victoria Everglot, whose parents are poor nobles. In fact, the Everglots don't like this idea very much, because Victor is a fish merchant. During the wedding rehearsal he forgets his vows so Victor goes away to learn them by heart. He repeats his word aloud and put the engagement ring on a branch of tree like if it's a finger of a bride. As you guess, that branch is a hand of a dead woman, who raises up and decides that Victor is her husband now.
The Overglot are worried about Victor's disappearing - they spent a lot of money on wedding and they can't postpone this event. Wait for a bit happy and a bit sad ending with unexpected turns.
I like it not only because of characters, but the atmosphere and the main idea. Setting is amazing - scaring, foggy and Gothic ( black ravens are included). The comparison of the underground world and the real one is also interesting. Alive people are greedy, gray and gloomy, and the dead ones are kind, merry and happy. That makes us to think: "What's wrong with us and why are we worse than raised corpses sometimes?" This film can fit every audience - skeletons and corpses are very funny and they aren't detailed.
