Wildly original, beautiful to look at, very funny, and sometimes quite touching… in it’s weird, macabre way.

Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2016

Definitely too dark and gory for little kids, this fantastic world feels like Tim Burton’s wonderfully strange mind was completely set free by animation (where he started his career). The voice performances are also terrific -- more subtle and full of colors than often even very good actors bring to animation. Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham-Carter, Albert Finney Christopher Lee, and Emily Watson -- just to name a few -- bring out both the humor and the humanity in these wild characters.

The story; an awkward young man, about to be pushed into an arraigned marriage with a girl he' surprised to find he does really love, accidentally marries a dead woman while practicing he marriage vows in the forest (it makes sense in the film, I promise!). He’s taken into the world of the dead (ironically far more colorful than the almost black and white vision of Victorian England in which he lives), and from there has to figure out how to get home and back to his real lady love, even if his current ‘corpse bride’ is quite sweet, in a decomposing sort of way. Top it all off with some wickedly funny songs by Danny Elfman fashioned into wildly entertaining musical numbers and you have a truly one of a kind cinematic treat.

A short guide for teenagers

This movie portrays cultural beliefs in marriages. How young people who have not yet managed to take care of themselves are forced to take on such an important and significant agreement between two souls, from their parents, who do not entirely care as much but for riches and stuff. It shows how copied or tapped negative attitude allows unawaken minds to harmonize with symphony of such broken melody, may it be good or bad.

There are many synchronous words that can be seen with an open third eye by breaking them apart or using generalizations and so on that can be simultaneously be observed with the start of something or end of something or the outcome of a situation. You need to be careful if you laughed at the joke the gutnikt the dead priest did about people dying to get there. This is one sign of such a slip.

For example: The slips when victor practices his vows is a sign of falling towards a downward world of drunkards, smokers, plotters, etc. A harsh world where unusual, weird, sad and bad things are normal. Not meaning that they're all bad however because the victims are there too. And with such falling, victor is harmonious with a broken melody of the corpse bride; a person who was deceived by her to be husband (barkis -> bar(pub) keys). The very name that's been chosen to signify the fallen.

But there is a twist in the movie. With truthfulness and sacrifice of selfishness, corpse bride mends victor's marriage to his rightful lady Victoria as she wishes not to see someone lose their happiness like she had lost hers.

This is such a great Halloween movie

Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2015

This is such a great Halloween movie. I haven't seen this movie in forever and then Netflix had it and I bought it so we have it on our shelves. This is such brilliantly animated movie. The way they filmed it and created the art was so nice. This is my favorite Tim Burton movie. I love Emily the character in this movie she's so naive and quirky. She's just a nice and relatable character. Since watching it this year I did think it ended differently than it did but it was still such a nice movie. It's a great kids movie but for young ones they might think of this as "dark". I didn't. My cousins watch shows like Monster High and on Youtube Five Night of Freddy which are dark so I think if your kids watch those things they'll be fine.

This isn't for everyone but I really enjoyed it. I watched back years ago when it came out in the theaters and now as an adult.

Classic Burton

Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2020

Corpse Bride falls between Time Burton's stop-motion creations of Nightmare Before Christmas and Coraline. It isn't overly bloated and is enjoyable. It's reminiscent of Edward Scissor Hands. The animation is a tad stilted, but that is the nature of the process in creating it. The ambiance and characters are great, the vocal performances solid, the creativity engaging, and the Elfman soundtrack superb as always. This Halloween classic should be enjoyed every year!

When I first heard the premise of this film I scoffed, it sounded so bizarre. "But I loved Nightmare" I thought, "This should be okay at least." Now I think if I ever have kids they will definitely watch this. It's that good. It's wacky and intense and just, great. Really great. I love it.

Dark, whimsical and fun

Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2014

No matter how many times I've seen this movie, it continues to delight me. I'm an enormous fan of Tim Burton's stop-motion animation films not only because I love these type of movies in general, but also because I can really relate to Burton's dark, whimsical, and twisted imagination. The Corpse Bride, an adaptation of an old Jewish-Russian folk tale, becomes a hauntingly beautiful but quirky Gothic love story under Burton's direction, complete with hilariously over-done characters, breathtaking visuals, and a wonderful music score. This particular film happens to be my favorite, so I'd decided to finally purchase it on DVD. As a gift, I received a free Amazon Video On Demand version along with the purchase, which was a wonderful surprise. The Corpse Bride is every bit as wonderful and amazing as the last time I watched it, which was a few years ago, and I highly recommend it to everyone, although really small children might enjoy a movie a little more on the lighter side than this one. Along with A Nightmare Before Christmas, this film is a timeless classic!

Another stop-motion masterpiece!

Reviewed in Canada on December 27, 2020

I don’t know what it is about stop-motion animation – but I absolutely love it! I loved the story and the songs. The opening song is one of my favourites – I don’t know why – it’s not the most interesting of the songs – but I can’t help but sing along “it’s a terrible day.” I love the way Tim Burton plays with colouring in the film – a dull grey/blue for the living – and bold colours for the underworld! The film includes a great voice cast and I think the chemistry between Johnny Depp and Emily Watson is beautiful!

The five star rating is for the condition of the product. No problems with the case, disc, or shipping of the product.

Mi calificación es por lo maltratado que venía la caja. Iba a ser para un regalo y terminé quedándome yo la película porque parecía que ya estaba usado el producto, la caja venía aplastada y la portada estaba perforada.

For some reason the case has two small holes and it went through the cover of the dvd on the back. I think that was because of the delivery company though. The disk is in mint condition and worked smoothly.
