Corpse Bride

2005. USA/Great Britain. Directed by Tim Burton, Mike Johnson. Screenplay by John August, Caroline Thompson, Pamela Pettler. With the voices of Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Emily Watson. For his second feature-length stop-motion film, Burton transformed a nineteenth-century European folktale about a man caught between two women—one breathing, one not so much—into a musical filled with exquisitely crafted characters who prove that what appears frightening is often just misunderstood. 76 min.
