An Academy Award® nominee and National Board of Review award winner as 2005’s Best Animated Feature, Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride carries on in the dark, romantic tradition of his classics, Edward Scissorhands and Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas. Set in a 19th-century European village, this stop-motion animated feature follows the story of Victor (voiced by Johnny Depp), a young man whisked away to the underworld and wed to a mysterious corpse bride (voiced by Helena Bonham Carter), while his real bride Victoria (voiced by Emily Watson) waits bereft in the Land of the Living. Though life in the Land of the Dead proves to be a lot more colorful than his strict upbringing, Victor learns that there is nothing in this world– or the next–that can keep him away from his one true love. It’s a tale of optimism, romance and a very lively afterlife, told in classic Burton style.
