There Has Been A Grave Misunderstanding

Rating: Null/10 (17 April 2014)

A peculiar, eccentric & darkly comic stop-motion animated musical presented by Tim Burton, Corpse Bride is about Victor & Victoria who are hesitant at their arrange marriage to each other but soon fall in love during the first meeting. However, at the wedding rehearsal, Victor is unable to recite his wedding vows correctly & later flees to a nearby forest to practice then but as soon as he gets it right, he finds himself married to Emily; the Corpse Bride, who then takes him to the Land of the Dead while a new match for Victoria comes out of nowhere.
Nicely directed by Tim Burton & Mike Johnson, the animators & puppeteers have done a fantastic job in bringing the stop-motion technology to the screen in a manner that only evokes admiration for their craftsmanship. The plot ain't that superior but it still manages to make its story work with sharp photography, wonderful music & songs by Danny Elfman and brilliant voice performances from Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter & other supporting cast. On an overall scale, Corpse Bride is a hilariously creepy, downright imaginative & endlessly enjoyable flick that may not amaze but sure will leave you satisfied in the end.
