I love this movie so much! It is dark, funny and creepy so this is my cup of tea. I can watch this over and over.
Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride is a morbidly whimsical animated film with a unique visual style. The story follows a reluctant groom who’s arranged to be married, but is whisked away to the underworld by the Corpse Bride; a young woman who was murdered while eloping and continued to look for a groom throughout her afterlife. The plot’s rather weak and doesn’t have a clear focus or fully developed characters. However, the performances by Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, and Emily Watson are fairly good. And, the stop-motion animation is quite impressive, and is full of interesting character designs. Danny Elfman’s score is also especially well-done, though the songs are rather mediocre and unmemorable. A dark and surreal comedy, Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride is entertaining but ends up being more style than substance.
Love this movie we as a family watch it at least two to three times a year
It's a nice movie with the tipical creepy felling from Burton but it was kind of expected the end and most of the twists.
Endearing, yet lacks the genius of 'Nightmare Before Christmas'. The absence of a plot, or any real character depths, left me pretty much unimpressed.
I was not so happy after watching half of the movie. But I loved how it ends. Overall it is a great movie
A fabulous score, excellent voice cast, imaginative morbid visuals supported by lovely stop-motion animation and above all a heartwarming romance story. Loved the villain and the parents they were so funnily mannered. Awesome iconic look for Emily. It's a beautiful story but romance isn't my favorite thing, I prefer The Nightmare Before Christmas and Coraline who bring more genres into the mix and they're creepier.
Tim Burton movies are always a wild ride. It has been some time since I have watched the unofficial trilogy. Corpse Bride is good, and the animation is unique as expected. I certainly do not enjoy this as much as The Nightmare Before Christmas, but it was a good time to revisit this wacky world.
Rating: 3/5 - 75% - Worth Watching
"Tim Burton's Corpse Bride" is a visually stunning and emotionally poignant film that tells the love story between Victor Van Dort and the titular Corpse Bride, Emily. Despite the initially unsettling premise, the film manages to portray Emily as a sympathetic and loving character, who was tragically robbed of her own chance at happiness on the eve of her own wedding.
The film's use of stop-motion animation, a technique popularized by Ray Harryhausen in films such as "Jason and the Argonauts" and "The Golden Voyage of Sinbad," adds a unique and otherworldly quality to the film's macabre world. The film's two distinct color palettes, with the living world being drab and muted and the world of the dead being vibrant and lively, also add to the film's visual appeal. The music, composed by Danny Elfman, perfectly complements the film's tone and adds to the energetic and joyful scenes in the world of the dead.
However, the film is not without its flaws. The character development of the living characters, particularly Victor and Victoria Everglot, can feel rushed and underdeveloped. The film also relies heavily on tropes and cliches, such as the rich, socially awkward protagonist falling in love with the poor, kind-hearted love interest. The resolution of the film also feels somewhat rushed and overly convenient, with certain plot points being resolved rather conveniently.
Additionally, the film's portrayal of the world of the dead as a fun and lively place, complete with singing and dancing skeletons, may not sit well with some viewers who may feel that it trivializes the concept of death. Similarly, the film's portrayal of Emily as a "sexy" character, despite being a literal corpse, may also be seen as problematic by some viewers.
Overall, "Tim Burton's Corpse Bride" is a visually stunning and emotionally satisfying film that manages to balance its macabre themes with heartwarming moments of love and acceptance. While it may have some issues with character development and a rushed resolution, as well as some potentially controversial themes, it remains a standout in the world of animation.
Better than most Tim Burton films for me. Entertaining enough family friendly film.
The plot is good but I felt it very short, like they could have made a more complex story. They had everything for it.
I just love Tim Burton…. This is a great movie that illicit emotion. A great story and a wonderful 90 minutes
Nightmare Before Christmas without the Christmas
Great Burton, Lovely movie, but don't watch it too often.

Going into this movie, I thought that Victor would end up with Emily. I was pretty sad that it didn't end with them together, but I understood Emily's reason for not being able to go through with it. That scene honestly almost made me tear up.
