Corpse Bride is a dark, gothic-like animation, like master Burton wants his creations to be each time. Inspite of this, the animation is about an uncommon love story between Victor (voice of Johnny Depp) and Corpse Bride (voice of Helena Bonham Carter). Victor is a shy groom that has to marry Victoria, a girl he doesn’t love, but to whom his parents arranged him to marry with. Obbeying to this decision, one day he tries to practice his vows so that he knows them well on his wedding day. The problem is he picks a bad spot to do this. The dead rise from their graves when he puts the wedding ring on the finger of a corpse, thinking it was just a tree branch. In fact, it is the spot where a bride was burried a long time ago.

Before he knows it, Victor is sent to a world he never know it ever existed, the world of the undead. Corpse Bride now thinks Victor is her Prince Charming and doesn’t want him to leave her never again. Will Victor escape from this fantasy world? Will he get rid of the mad dead people he met and return to Victoria, among the living people? But the things is… what if Victor falls in love with Emily, the Corpse Bride? And what’s with the revived corpse, anyway, was it a curse?

So many questions rise up about this animation movie. Questions to which you can find answers only by watching the movie! It is really not a waste of time, but an enjoyable animation. I know, you might not want to see it because it resembles to a horror animation.
