DVD Reviews of Tim Burton's Corpse Bride [HD DVD]
DVD Review: With This Ring...
Summary: 4 Stars
Shy Victor's parents arrange a marriage for him, thinking that he will never marry on his own. His parents are newly rich, so they immediately want to pair him up with someone from old money. They arrange the marriage to Victoria, a young woman who's just as quiet and retiring as Victor. But somehow, in the space of a few minutes, true love ignites between the two. As soon as it does, however, the fates conspire to keep them apart. First Victor can't remember his vows. Then the priest sends him away, saying that Victor doesn't want to marry. Then, when Victor finally practices his vows (thinking he's by himself) and gets them right, he ends up married to a young dead woman who was murdered for her dowry years ago.
Tim Burton directed the film starring Johnny Depp. The two have worked together before on several projects, including EDWARD SCISSORHANDS, CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY, THE LEGEND OF SLEEPY HOLLOW, and other. Both are known for working with the bizarre and stylized worlds/characters.
CORPSE BRIDE is a simple tale, actually, and that really shines through. If Burton and the writers didn't take this from a fable or myth, I'd be surprised. It's just too natural. The stop-motion animation is beautiful, and the two worlds (of the living and of the dead) are well thought-out and visually striking. Everything ties in neatly at the end.
I watched it on HD DVD and found the production to be outstanding. The sound wasn't Lossless, but it was really good and did well on my surround sound system.
Tim Burton and Johnny Depp fans will want to pick up CORPSE BRIDE. Anyone wanting something unusual that you won't see every day would be interested in picking this one up for rent for movie night. You'll find something (story, animation, or characters) that will spark your imagination.
