 
Corpse Bride
DVD
Tim
Burton's Corpse Bride is a 2005 stop-motion-animation film based
on a 19th century Russian-Jewish folktale version of an older
Jewish story. It was directed by Tim Burton and Mike Johnson,
and filmed at Vinton Studios in London. It stars Johnny Depp
as the voice of Victor and Helena Bonham Carter as the voice
of the Corpse Bride. This is the first animated film in which
Johnny Depp has been a voice actor.
The movie bears a striking resemblance to The Nightmare Before
Christmas, a stop-motion movie directed by Henry Selick and
based on a Tim Burton poem, which Corpse Bride director Mike
Johnson worked on as an animator. It is also reminiscent of
another Burton effort, Beetlejuice, especially in the scenes
depicting the underworld and its deceased denizens. Some commercials
for Corpse Bride are even accompanied by songs from The Nightmare
Before Christmas (specifically, "What's This").
