I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

The film Corpse Bride was shot in the USA and Great Britain in 2005. The Directors were Mike Johnson and Tim Burton, and the producers were Tim Burton and Allison Abbate. John August, Caroline Thompson, Pamela Petter wrote a script. Danny Elfman composed the music.This film tells the story of a young man Victor, who was supposed to marry Lady Victoria, and happened to be near the grave of the bride Emily and put a ring on her ring finger. Once in the world of the dead, Victor first tries to return, but after learning that Victoria is getting married, he decides to marry the dead.When I watched this movie, I did not enjoy it. For me, as a bearer of Russian culture, it seemed too gloomy and, moreover, too trivial. A girl, who wants a wending with a beloved, who kills her; a young man, who occasional happened to be nearby and gave her hope... I think everyone knows such a story. The only thing that endows the film with at least some sense is people's thoughts of happiness. The dead bride refused the sacrifice of Victor, realizing that she deprives of the happiness the girl Victoria.I can not deny that the film is perfectly done. But I also do not recommend to see this film.

The Corpse Bride is a cartoon by Tim Burton. And that is very unusual cartoon. It contains death theme and love story and use puppet animation. You may think that this film isn't good for child, but it isn't so. And cartoons are not only for children but for adult people too.This cartoon is made in 2005. It was directed and produced by Tim Burton. The plot was written by John August and other talented people. The music, which was written by Danny Elfman, contributes to the atmosphere of this film. If you watch it on English, you will hear Jonny Depp as Victor, Helena Bonham Carter as Victoria and Emily Watson as Emily.Story shows time of conflict between the bourgeoisie and the nobility. We see two families from these layers of society that want to marry their children for themselves wants. But the hero, one of them, which is called Victor, accidentally become married the dead woman, which name is Emily. It sounds strange but interesting.Setting can be understood only by adult people. But sometimes film is too childish. I really don't understand, which auditory the film aims at. What I didn't understand were Victor's actions. Every time, when he had a problem, he ran away. But only once he decided to do something important. Either he chose what he wants or writers made error in his personality. But it's not so bad on the background of many good elements of the film.First of all, other characters were well drawn. I understand their actions. Also, you dive in the cartoon very deep and you can't get out: it has gripping plot, beautiful puppet animation and background music. I should say, is The Corpse Bride good or bad, but I don't know it. It is not awful and not perfect. But I think everybody would like this cartoon after watching.

Corpse Bride is a 2005 British-American stop-motion-animated musical fantasy film directed by Mike Johnson and Tim Burton with a screenplay by John August, Caroline Thompson and Pamela Pettler based on characters created by Burton and Carlos Grangel.In an unspecified Victorian-era village somewhere in Europe, Victor Van Dort, the son of rich fish merchants, and Victoria Everglot, the daughter of poor aristocrats, are preparing for their marriage. Everything went well, they fell in love with each other, but Victor was worried and couldn't learn the words of the marriage vow. Then he went into the forest, calmed down, and he was able to learn the words. He even put a ring on a branch that turned out to the finger of a dead bride. Then she took him to the realm of the dead.It's very beautiful cartoon with excellent music by Danny Elfman.I recommend this to everyone.

Tim Burton strikes again with another hit animated film. If you're in the mood for something unsettling, but not outright terrifying, then this is the movie for you. With big names like Johnny Depp (Victor) and Helena Bonham Carter (Emily) providing the voice acting, Burton brings to life the story of an arranged marriage, but with some added twists, like the interference of the undead and a couple of jazz musical numbers. Get ready for an emotional ride as you find yourself sympathizing with the undead and the plight of the young lovers caught in a love triangle between Victor, Emily, and Victoria (Emily Watson). Though a great movie to watch around Halloween, I highly recommend it for any occasion.
