Corpse Bride Merchandise – A Wedding with Complications
Few directors have wrung as much charm out of the morbid as Tim Burton – and Corpse Bride is the best proof of it. The 2005 stop-motion film follows the shy Victor, who, while practicing his wedding vow, slips the ring onto a root that turns out to be the hand of the deceased Emily – accidentally engaging himself to a dead woman. Burton co-directed the film with Mike Johnson, crafted by hand, frame by frame; the Academy Award nomination for Best Animated Feature followed swiftly. At Elbenwald you'll find officially licensed merchandise for it – a compact selection with a clear star: Emily, the bride with the blue complexion.
Why Corpse Bride Has Cult Status
The film flips expectations on their head: the world of the living is gray, stiff, and joyless, while the underworld, of all places, is full of music, color, and zest for life. Add to that Burton's unmistakable signature style, which he brought to life here for the first time as the director of a feature-length stop-motion film, after productions like The Nightmare Before Christmas. In the original English version, Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter lend their voices to the unlucky pair. And Emily? She's long since become more than a movie character: her look of wedding dress, blue skin, and wilted bouquet ranks among the most-cited motifs of the Burton universe – at conventions just as much as on Halloween. Devotion beyond death does exist after all – at least within the fandom.
