Corpse Bride

Running time: 77 minutes

Director: Tim Burton

Starring: Albert Finney, Helena Bonham Carter, Richard E Grant, Emily Watson, Johnny Depp

Carrying on in the dark romantic tradition of THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS, Tim Burton's enchanting stop motion animation is the tale of Victor (Depp, CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY), a young man transported from his 19th-century village and forced to wed a mysterious corpse bride (Bonham Carter) in the underworld. Meanwhile his real bride waits bereft in the land of the living. Despite his new colourful habitat, Victor learns that there is nothing in this world, or the next, that can keep him away from his one true love. A tale of optimism, romance and a very lively afterlife, this is classic Burton terrain that draws on a wealth of vocal talent that includes Christopher Lee, Richard E. Grant and Joanna Lumley.
