	The Tim Burton Collective - Corpse Bride
		The fast moving plot finds Victor gradually overcoming his fear and falling for the Corpse Bride, while Victoria, believing she has been abandoned, is forced to marry the vile Barkis.
		The Corpse Bride finally finds peace and her murder is avenged (the identity of her murder probably won’t be a surprise to most people).
		Corpse Bride isn’t as innovative (the stop motion animation has evolved to a point where you almost forget it’s stop motion), but it should be judged on its own merits.

	HD DVD Review: Corpse Bride \| High-Def Digest
		The muted reaction to 'Corpse Bride' is quite the shame, because as one of the apparently three people who has not seen 'The Nightmare Before Christmas,' I went in with absolutely no preconceived notions.
		'Corpse Bride' generated some controversy when it hit Blu-ray a few weeks ago, as it was not only the first stop-motion animated film to hit a next-gen high-def format, but it also marked the first time Warner had released a title on Blu-ray with no HD DVD counterpart announced.
		'Corpse Bride' on HD DVD is predictably packed with extras, containing all of the same supplements that were included on the Blu-ray and standard-def releases.

	Corpse Bride - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tim Burton's Corpse Bride is a 2005 Academy Award-nominated stop-motion-animation film based loosely on a 19th century Russian-Jewish folktale version of an older Jewish story and set in a fictional Victorian era England.
		Emily, the Corpse Bride, is portrayed as kind and trusting, with a free spirit and a lust for un-life.
		The bride in that story waits for eternity too, not knowing that her groom had been killed by the phantom.

	"Tim Burton's Corpse Bride" - Salon
		The visual and narrative beauty of "Tim Burton's Corpse Bride" captures the essence of that line -- it hurts a little to watch the movie, not just because it's so deeply touching but because the medium itself is calling out to us from a lost world.
		So while the story that's told in "Corpse Bride" -- a Victorian Gothic romance adapted from a Russian folktale -- is affecting in itself, the vitality and beauty of the textures and movement on-screen have a special poignancy.
		"Corpse Bride" was written by John August, Caroline Thompson and Pamela Pettler, and as a piece of storytelling, it holds up admirably against any live-action script.

	Corpse Bride (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Burton's mastery is borne out by Corpse Bride, an animated puppet film along the lines of Burton's beloved The Nightmare Before Christmas as well as James and the Giant Peach.
		Corpse Bride is part musical, and the bits set to music are among the best the film has to offer.
		The movie is filled with the usual puns and double entendres, and Burton includes a few memorable side characters, such as a worm that lives inside the Corpse Bride's empty noggin' and a head waiter who is just that, a decapitated head.

	Bride - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Before a bride can be formally called "wife" or (if the bride is not marrying a man of higher rank than "Mr.") Mrs.
		In Europe and North America, the typical attire for a bride is a formal dress and sometimes a tiara.
		Etiquette prescribes that a white dress may not be worn for subsequent marriages (regarded by some as a symbol of virginity, also regarded as a symbol that the bride is happy), but this guideline is often ignored with brides wearing white dresses for any number of marriages.

	Tim Burton's Corpse Bride
		Victor is Ichabod Crane is Victor Frankenstein, while The Bride (her name is "Emily," but she's rarely referred to as such), clad in moldering bridal silks, is a magnification of James Whale's disquieting image of a creature most monstrous for her sexuality.
		It opens on a butterfly and closes on a swarm of them, the message clear that there will be transformations--yet it's trickier than that because the butterfly in the beginning is being drawn while imprisoned in a bell jar, and the butterflies at the end evoke some sort of spiritual metamorphosis.
		Corpse Bride is an instant classic, a Charles Addams comic come to life that substitutes the bluebirds dressing Sleeping Beauty with fl widows patching Victor's suit.

	DVD Verdict Review - Corpse Bride
		It tells the Corpse Bride's backstory, which is touching, but does it in such a jazzy way you can't help but tap your toes.
		Corpse Bride is presented in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen.
		The fact is, Corpse Bride is one of Tim Burton's most creative and enjoyable films, a return to the things that his fans love so dearly in his work.

	Reviews: Tim Burton's Corpse Bride - Christianity Today Movies
		Yet despite Corpse Bride's PG rating, parents still blindly and inappropriately brought infants and toddlers to the screening I was at.
		Corpse Bride herself is missing some skin in a few spots and has a bothersome eyeball that keeps popping out at the wrong times—not to mention the little maggot living in her head that speaks like Peter Lorre and serves as comic relief.
		Granted, one of Victor's potential brides is living and the other is not, but he still has options and the film sweetly makes a case for both—Emily's dreams have been denied, but while marrying her could in a sense restore them, it would also shatter those of Victoria.

	Corpse Bride Folktale
		Shuddering with terror at the corpse bride's words, the two young men fled to the village where the young bride was waiting to be married.
		And all their children and grandchildren and great grandchildren were always told the story of the corpse bride, and so she was not forgotten, nor was the wisdom and compassion she had taught them forgotten either.
		And because the bride would be the one to bear future generations, she would be ripped out of the carriage and murdered.

	DVD review of Corpse Bride (Widescreen) - DVD Town (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		It's the corpse of a bride (Helena Bonham Carter) who died on her wedding day, and she's only too willing to accept Victor as her new partner.
		The Corpse Bride, Emily, for example, is a lovely, lonely, very special lady, no matter that she's rotting away and her right eye keeps popping out.
		Nonetheless, "Corpse Bride" is one of the better animations of 2005 and reflects the director's typically peculiar sense of humor.

	Corpse Bride (2005) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Set in a 19th century European village, this stop-motion, animated feature follows the story of Victor (voiced by Johnny Depp), a young man who is whisked away to the underworld and wed to a mysterious Corpse Bride, while his real bride, Victoria, waits bereft in the land of the living.
		Her betrothed killed her and took her jewels; that left her in a perpetual state of desired matrimony, and she clings to her new husband.
		Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 1.85:1 on this single-sided, double-layered DVD; the image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.

	ReelTalk Movie Reviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Corpse Bride, therefore, has its own set of animated peers to stand out from, and it couldn't have come at a better time.
		If one hunts for weaknesses, the most significant of Corpse Bride's may come from its comparison to Nightmare, if only because the two movies are so similar and, in that sense, the new movie isn't really all too new.
		Still, being able to animate a plasticine dead bride and make her earn our sympathy as well as even make us weep for her fate is well worth that extra time and effort.

	IGN: Tim Burton's Corpse Bride Review
		While watching Victor, Victoria and the Corpse Bride go through the matrimonial motions a second time on DVD, I was reminded of Roger Ebert's argument that Benjamin Braddock, the protagonist of Mike Nichols' The Graduate, was better off with Mrs.
		Robinson than with her daughter Elaine; the Bride, by comparison, has so much more life (so to speak) in her than Victoria, and Victor could certainly stand a little bit of excitement in his otherwise colorless existence.
		Corpse Bride is presented in anamorphic widescreen (1.85:1) preserving the original theatrical aspect ratio, and the film looks great: presumably because every frame is painstakingly, individually captured, there's not a single moment where the color or clarity is less than perfect.

		Yet Corpse Bride is an animated film, and animated films aren't known, as a general rule, for packing in adult crowds at the movie theater.
		My favourite part was sadly all the way at the very end of the movie when the Corpse in an act of love and compassion for Victor cuts the ties of any promise he made to her and allowed him to marry the one he was betrothed to in the first place.
		His 'bride' Emily had been spurned by her lover in life, and is desperate to find love with her new groom, whilst the hapless Victor wants only to return to the land of the living and his beautiful fiancée, Victoria.

		Set in a drab Dickensian setting, Corpse Bride tells the story of Victor (Johnny Depp), son of a wealthy fish merchant, who dreads his imminent wedding to Victoria (Emily Watson), whose old-money parents secretly hope that this alliance with the "nouveau riche" will rescue them from bankruptcy.
		Corpse Bride, like Nightmare before Christmas, is a musical, too, and while the songs are well-done, they all sound the same and are not very memorable.
		Corpse Bride is a commendable follow-up to Nightmare before Christmas, a sure bet to please Burton fans and win over some new ones.

	Tim Burton's Corpse Bride (2005): Reviews
		Corpse Bride has more warmth and appeal than its title would indicate, but it is finally more grotesque than good-humored.
		Yes, Corpse Bride had the same demi-goth elements that have made Tim Burton who he is today, and Danny Elfman didn't do a completely shoddy job with the music, but it's no longer a first.
		Corpse Bride very conciously felt like a rip-off, like Burton wanted desperately to have another go with the medium, and thought somehow he could make another classic by just utilizing the same elements.

	TheMovieBoy Review - Tim Burton's Corpse Bride (2005)
		The notion that the Corpse Bride was brutally killed and buried is mentioned and then mostly washed over without any mention of the life she left behind and the regrets she has about no longer being alive.
		As one of the fall's early releases, "Corpse Bride" ranks as the season's first unadulterated disappointment.
		"Corpse Bride" is a sadly threadbare waste, not funny or scary or exciting or involving enough to leave the viewer with anything to care about or remember.

	Boise Weekly - Not Your Everyday Newspaper: Screen: Screen: Corpse Bride
		For Corpse Bride, Burton and Depp worked to create Victor, a character much in the vein of Jack Skellington of Nightmare, who lives in a very dark and drab, somewhat British city in the 19th century.
		Upon meeting his arranged bride-to-be, his love at first sight combines with his anxiety over marriage to create a disastrous wedding rehearsal, from which he escapes after setting his future mother-in-law on fire.
		The basis for the tale was born from a Russian folk tale about an unfortunate man who married a deceased bride, a tale that captured the imagination of writer/director Burton, who worked for 10 years to bring it to the big screen as a stop-motion, animated film.

	Filmtracks: Corpse Bride (Danny Elfman)
		Corpse Bride: (Danny Elfman) There must be some kind of mental condition that describes the specific derangement that director Tim Burton suffers that causes him to be so fascinated with graceful portrayals of death and stark realities.
		The base sound for Corpse Bride is nearly identical to The Nightmare Before Christmas (why mess with something that worked?), and the concept of high-energy ensemble cast songs returns as well.
		Other than the beautiful corpse bride vocals in that song, the themes within the songs won't be as memorable for fans and it's doubtful that they'll stick with audiences after the closing credits of the film.

	The Corpse Bride Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		Just as he perfects his recitation, the ring slips and lands on what looks like a dead branch, but what turns out to be the petrified finger of Corpse Bride (Helena Bonham Carter).
		In contrast, Corpse Bride's skeleton pals tend to prefer primary colors for their funereal garments, and their crypt is alive with laughter and show tunes.
		Like Burton's more enduring Nightmare Before Christmas, Corpse Bride boasts stunning visuals, made possible by a crackerjack team of animators and puppeteers who do things the old fashioned way: They manipulate and film their clever models frame by frame (albeit now with digital cameras, eliminating the wait for film development).

	Story Analysis - Dramatica.Com
		The groom is taken to the land of the dead when he mistakenly "marries" the Corpse Bride who is desperate to have a husband.
		The Corpse Bride manipulates Victor by declaring their "marriage" and later by working to legitimize the "marriage" with a ceremony, vows, and "death" commitment.
		One can argue that the rehearsal dinner is the inciting event (or even the murder of the Corpse Bride in the back story) but things really lock in with the ring on her finger.
