‘Corpse Bride’ Is out now on 4K Ultra HD
Tim Burton has made some great films over the years. Each one has taken viewers of all ages on some truly thrilling adventures. The Corpse Bride is a good movie that tells a pretty touching story. When I heard this film was being released on 4K Ultra HD I hoped I might get a chance to watch it again. I was able to get a review copy of this movie and here is what I thought of it.
You can read the plot for this film here:
One Wedding. Two Brides. A Grave Misunderstanding.
Returning to the painstaking stop-motion animation he employed with amazing success in The Nightmare Before Christmas, Tim Burton presents a hair-raising legend based on a 19th-century Russian folktale, in which a young man mistakenly weds a corpse while on a two-day trek to the village of his real bride-to-be. It is up to the groom’s flesh-and-blood fiancée, who has been pining for the arrival of her intended, to face her wraith-like rival and make peace with her by promising to live her dreams for her and by vowing to remember her always.
Only then are the living bride and groom free to proceed with their own wedding ceremony in this warmhearted fable.
It was nice getting to watch this movie again. The animation is stellar and the characters are very well done. The songs were alright, but at the same time not as memorable as you might expect them to be. Yet once this tale comes to a close, the life of these characters will never be the same. ‘Digging up the Past: The Minds Behind Corpse Bride’ had some of the crew looking back on this film and some of the memories they had working on it. ‘Til Death Do Us Art: A Corpse Bride Reflection’ revealed much of the work that was put in to bring this movie together and a couple challenges that were faced while making it.
Corpse Bride is available now on 4K Ultra HD and Digital. You can follow this film on Facebook and Instagram.
