Corpse Bride

"Corpse Bride" is a stop motion film (the scenes of the film are taken picture by picture, when we see all the pictures quickly in a row the seem to be one single animation) directed by Tim Burton and Mike Johnson.
The protagonist is Victor Van Dort who is forced by his parents to marry Victoria Everglot. The two don't know each other, although they seem to have some feelings when they meet for first time. At the wedding Victor is not able to pronounce well his vows and everything ends in a disaster. Later, Victor wants to practice his wedding vows in a forest and when he finally says them well and puts the ring on a piece of wood that seems like a hand, Emily appears. Emily is a dead girl who was killed by a man before her wedding and since then she is looking for someone who wants to marry her. She takes Victor into her world, the world of the dead people. To return into his own world, Victor says to Emily that he wants to present her to his parents...
I think it's a very funny film and I also like Tim Burton's style very much. I've seen the film once in Spanish and I have to admit that watching it in the original language is much better. Because of the appearence and the song parts someone could think it's a film for kids but that's absolutely not true. I fully recommend this film to everybody.
