Corpse Bride (DVD)

excellent funny watchable definite value for money, will give many hours of humourous pleasure,recommended by a friend, now recommended by me

Another masterpiece from Tim Burton. It works at all sorts of levels, from slapstick to thought provoking. The timing is superb, and the voiceovers just right. I've watched this so many times I know the dialogue...

Another great animation from Tim Burton, grabbing your attention throughout, with great scenes and music. Loved by our whole family, from granny (aged 71)to our daughter (aged 4). Watch it you won't be disappointed!

If you are a fan of Tim Burton, you will love this film, my children 9 and 7 thought it looked quite scary but were soon loving it. It tells the story of a couple Victor and Victoria who are forced to marry but Victor runs away and ends up accidently marrying a corpse bride and she takes him to the underworld, which is a much brighter and happier place than the living world. wont give too much away about the plot, you will have to watch it. Fascinating extra scenes on how the film was made with puppets and you get to see who did the voices, really interesting for the kids to see how much time and effort goes into making a film like this. Enjoy!! well worth buying.

Tim Burton is a genius with a style all of his own. The imagination that goes into both the story and characters draws you into the film and keeps you there right to the end. i would highly recommend this dvd and also nightmare before christmas , also by burton. i bought both films for my son ( well that was the excuse anyway!) These story's wouldn't suit kids under the age of 7-8 due to their dark and slightly creepy contents but i'm sure anyone else will love it.

The film is quite a good film. I bought it cause it sounded good and it was on HD DVD. I wanted to see what an animated film was like on HD DVD, all in all the film was good.
Johnny Depp again... wonderful voice over on the character Victor.
It is a film, that will keep the kids entertained.

i love johnny depp and have a wide collection of his films so when i heard he had done this film with tim burton i had to get it - there filsm are always fantastic and this does not let the fans down.

MY DAUGHTER IS A BIG FAN, HER OLD COPY HAS BEEN WATCHED OVER AND OVER, IT'S A BIT SCRATCHED AND WORN, SO I BOUGHT HER A NEW COPY. (ALONG WITH A SET OF FIGURES, THE COSTUME, THE WIG, THE DEAD FLOWERS BOUQUET, BLANKET, LIP BALMS ETC. - I LOVE EBAY. HA!)
AWESOME FILM, EQUALLY AS GOOD AS "NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS". BETTER THAN ANY COMPUTER ANIMATED FILM.

I absolutley love this film, the characters are hillarious and the storyline is so original. Unlike The Nightmare Before Christmas this story by Tim Burton doesn't have a cult like following; which is such a pity for it is a magnificant and entertaining animation and is very enjoyable (as you would expect from Tim Burton).

Anybody who has seen The Nightmare Before Christmas has to see this atleast once before making an opinion on it (I know of people who refuse to watch it) It is an amazing story and filmed well, it's a must see for everyone ^_^

It has a happy ending for all but Emily (the corpse bride) who never actually gets married which is quite sad... although she does get her revenge upon former fiancee. With funny songs and comic characters it is all in all a great film for all the family!

After enchanting audiences with "The Nightmare Before Christmas," Tim Burton brings another stop-motion animated spectacle, and Whenever there is a Tim Burton film, Johnny Depp will usually be leading the charge. "Corpse Bride" is one of those instances. Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter lead a talented cast of actors in providing the vocals to their characters. Depp gives Victor the frightened, insecure persona that befits the young man who is unsure of just about everything in life. Emily Watson does the perfect counterpart for Victoria. She is more confidant and less shy than her groom-to-be and she brings out the more attractive qualities of Victor. Carter provides Emily with a loving and caring demeanor. She genuinely cares for and loves Victor and she will do anything to make him see that. Even more skillful is her ability to bring out Emily's sadness. Audiences will feel her pain when she cries and the emptiness she feels when all she needs is love. The supporting actors are also expertly cast including Christopher Lee, Albert Finney, and Michael Gough. Each performer's voice brings out the ideal quality and trait of their character that one can imagine them performing the role in the flesh.

This movie is great! If you liked Nightmare before Christmas, then you won't be disappointed. Tim Burton has done it again. The music is catchy and recognisable. The quality of the animation is excellent. Altogether, a brilliant film

this is a must buy for all tim burton fans. Or even if you havent seen anything of his before you will love him after watching this.
the movie follows the story of victor who is taken away from his true love victoria and married to the mysterious corpse bride.
good graphics,interesting plot everyone should watch this at least once

I love Tim Burton's movies, so it is no surprise that I love this one too. However, the film stands on its own merits. The characters are brilliant, and you feel for poor Victor. Anyone whose been terrified of public speaking will sympathise with his character's awkwardness of saying his vows; and as someone who is inherently accident prone I felt for his character's clumsiness too.

The only fly in this otherwise flawless ointment is the character of Victoria Everglot, Victor's intended. I am sorry but I have to agree with my 8 year old daughter, he should so have married the corpse bride who seemed much better for him (as my daughter told me "I know she's dead, but she's still got lots of skin").

There lies the rub, you can almost forget about Victoria's presence altogether so tepid is she and I am not ashamed to admit that I was, along with said daughter, almost wishing that Victor WOULD drink the poison and join the corpse bride in the dead world. Especially as Victoria's parents are the sort of in laws that would make you wake up at night wishing you WERE dead.

That one character aside this film is brilliant and if you like movies like 'The Nightmare before Christmas' (another burton feast) and any of the 'Wallace and Grommit' movies then you'll like the animation here too.

Give it a go; unless you loathe Burton, Depp and Bonham-Carter (Burton's real life partner) then you won't be disappointed in this film.

I really wanted a copy of this dvd for halloween for my children. It was value for money and good quality. Out of all the listings this seemed to tick all the boxes and offer the best value it was everything I was looking for. :)

This film is great. The standards of the graphics are really high and the film is really interesting for both adults and children. Great story line with really good characters that you can relate to. I would definitely recommend this to both adults and children alike !!

If you loved The Nightmare Before Christmas you'll love The Corpse Bride too! Fascinating animation, music and entertainment. I bought this film because I just had to see it again and again.

Excellent animation movie with Tim Burtons unique gothic style. A simple story but with great characterisation.

Great little film.
Beatiful stop motion animation, attention to detail.

A little weird, a bit Dark, but wonderful at the same time.

i bought it for my little boy for halloween and never recieved it.
I did file a report to a none receivment of a item, but have had no feedback or return of payment :(

Tim Burton has once again produced a lovely little story. It is wonderfully unusual and has a very extravagent portrayal. However, if you are looking for another 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' or 'Edward Scissorhands' You will not find it here. The animation is fantastic. However, the story itself takes you back and forth and never seems to actually go anywhere. When the film comes to an end you wonder where exactly the story went. Worth seeing, but maybe mainly for the animation and fun songs.

Another breathtaking creation from Tim Burton, he never ceases to stimulate my mind :)Cant wait to see his take on Wonderland! Danny Elfman is also a genius with Johnny Depp and Helena Bohnam Carter as wonderful charaters. A total feast for the imagination!!!

I've loved this film from when I first watched it, so I had to buy one for myself. Johnny Depp is my favorite actor, his English voice is so cute in this film!

It's a really good film. The animation is so clever. The music is great. A must see if u enjoy Tim Burton Films.
