This image is taken from Tim Burton’s Corpse
Bride, where much to the shock and dismay of Victor that he
is about to marry a dead woman, this wedding remains
unbeknownst to others in the town, including Victor’s
parents as well as his true bride, Victoria and her parents.
-
Corpse Bride combines the very old medium of
puppetry and stop-animation photography. Each puppet is
comprised of internal gears which give them their on-camera
fluid mobility. It took 6 years to complete the film.
-
Tim Burton’s other directorial achievements
include the first Batman movie, Edward Scissorhands and The
Nightmare Before Christmas.
-
Burton’s execution of Corpse Bride offers a
very interesting contrast between the world of the dead,
which is conversely vivacious and carefree, against the dark
and brooding existence of those in the world of the living.
-
The theme of Corpse Bride comes from a
16th-century Jewish horror story, when anti-Semites murdered
Jewish brides on their way to the altar so as to prevent the
brides from marrying and bearing ongoing generations of
children.
-
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts &
Sciences nominated Corpse Bride for Best Animated Feature
Film this year.
