Burton’s Bride
By Casey Cavalier

A folk tale wedding
Seen any good movies lately? That’s a difficult
question to answer. This has been a notoriously
B-A-D year for the movie industry.
Have faith! Studios release some of their best
projects in late fall. By the time Halloween rolls
around, you’ll have more choices at the
Cineplex or the art house.
Until then, how about a darkly cute movie about
marriage?
Director Tim Burton teams with Johnny Depp and
Emily Watson to bring a Russian folk tale to life.
In Corpse Bride, Burton uses stop-motion animation,
as he did with 1993’s The Nightmare Before
Christmas.
The story centers on Victor and Victoria, a young
couple who have just met and are about to be married.
Victor flees to the forest to practice his vows
and mistakenly marries a corpse bride. He desperately
tries to make his way back to his real fiancée,
Victoria.
