Movie Reviews of Tim Burton's Corpse Bride (Full Screen Edition)
Movie Review: Amusing For Once
Summary: 2 Stars
The story concept is way above average, the animation is about average, the energy level is corpse-compatible. On the whole, Corpse Bride is entertaining enough to sit through once--especially if you're 10 or under. But if your cake has ever had 20 candles or more, once will likely do it for you.
Summary of Tim Burton's Corpse Bride (Full Screen Edition)
Set in a 19th century European village this stop-motion animated feature follows the story of Victor (voiced by JOHNNY DEPP) a young man who is whisked away to the underworld and wed to a mysterious Corpse Bride while his real bride Victoria 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 Victorian upbringing Victor learns that there is nothing in this world or the next that can keep him away from his one true love.Running Time: 77 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?CHILDREN/FAMILY UPC:?012569593503 Manufacturer No:?59350Who else but Tim Burton could make Corpse Bride, a necrophiliac's delight that's fun for the whole family? Returning to the richly imaginative realm of stop-motion animation (after previous successes with The Nightmare Before Christmas and James and the Giant Peach), Burton, with codirector Mike Johnson, invites us to visit the dour, ashen, and drearily Victorian mansions of the living, where young Victor Van Dort (voiced by Johnny Depp) is bequeathed to wed the lovely Victoria (Emily Watson). But the wedding rehearsal goes sour and, in the kind of Goth-eerie forest that only exists in Burton-land, Victor suddenly finds himself accidentally married to the Corpse Bride (Helena Bonham Carter), a blue-tinted, half-skeletal beauty (how pleasantly full-bosomed she remains!) with a loquacious maggot installed behind one prone-to-popping eyeball. This being a Burton creation, the underworld of the dead is a lively and colorful place indeed, and Danny Elfman's songs and score make it even livelier, presenting Victor with quite a dilemma: Should he return above-ground to Victoria, or remain devoted to his corpse bride? At a brisk 76 minutes, Burton's graveyard whimsy (loosely based on a 19th century Russian folktale) never wears out its welcome, and the voice casting (which includes Tracey Ullman and Albert Finney) is superbly matched the film's gloriously amusing character design, guaranteed to yield a wealth of gruesome toys and action figures for many Halloweens to come. --Jeff Shannon
