Trailer

Why watch this film?

One of the most iconic films of Tim Burton's career ('Edward Scissorhands', 'Ed Wood') and directed in partnership with animation specialist Mike Johnson, the feature film 'Corpse Bride' quickly became an icon of the latest pop culture. Just like 'The Nightmare Before Christmas', the movie has a striking stop motion visual and a story as strange as the rest of Burton's filmography: that of a young man who accidentally marries a corpse bride and visits the land of the dead. It is a daring animation, with a good voice work by Johnny Depp ('Pirates of the Caribbean') and Helena Bonham Carter ('Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban'), which works for adults and children. After all, even though it is cute and childish in several moments, its message transcends generations when talking about the limits of life and death. Indispensable.
