Corpse Bride: Computer animation who? Tim Burton returns to his love of Stop Motion Animation to create a truly remarkable and dark world. The film stars Johnny Depp and Helen Bonham Carter who voice Victor and the Corpse Bride. The story is something different as well as we follow Victor (Depp) into the world of the dead when he accidentally practices his wedding vows on a dead bride. The animation is in full gear as we see everything from skeletons to maggots to dead dogs. The music is the other highlight of the film, bringing a richness and liveliness to the story. The Characters and the way they are animated bring humor to the movie, but we are sort of rushed through all the introductions as the film’s length is just over an hour. Short run time indeed, but not short on quality.
