Corpse Bride is a 2005 romantic comedy musical film directed by Mike Johnson (who previously worked on James and the Giant Peach and The Nightmare Before Christmas) and Tim Burton, and a Spiritual Successor to Henry Selick's The Nightmare Before Christmas (of which Burton was the producer, chief designer and story writer). The film mixes German Expressionism elements, stop motion animation by Cosgrove Hall and Laika (in their first official project), gothic melodrama and macabre sense of humour, and is based on an old Yiddish-language Jewish folk tale from Russia with songs composed by Danny Elfman.Victor van Dort (Johnny Depp), the son of some newly wealthy fishmongers, is entering into an Arranged Marriage with Victoria, (Emily Watson) a beautiful young woman from an Impoverished Patrician family. The couple find out that despite their differences, they actually rather like each other, and everything is going swimmingly...except for the tiny problem of Victor being too nervous to memorize his wedding vows. He goes into the forest to practice them but, unintentionally, gives the speech and engagement ring to the vivacious and fun-loving Emily (Helena Bonham Carter), who thinks they are now married.Oh, did we mention Emily is a walking, talking corpse?Victor is dragged to the underworld, which ironically heavily contrasts with the drab surroundings of the living by being colourful and vibrant. At first he is desperate to get back home to Victoria, but is soon torn between the life he knew and his life in the underworld. Victor also finds himself drawn towards Emily, whose tragic death may be more entwined with the lives of Victoria and himself than he first thought.The film has many little shout-outs and references to previous works by Tim Burton. Danny Elfman's character, Bonejangles, is a call-back to his time with Oingo Boingo.

Never Trust a Trailer
 Corpse Bride / int_19ebe383
comment
Never Trust a Trailer: The first trailer of the movie led us to believe that Victor got cold feet, left Victoria at the altar, and fled into the woods where he met Emily. In reality, he went into the woods because Gallswells told him not to come back until he had memorized his vows, which he recited in Emily's presence. The trailer also portrayed the movie as having a sinister undertone when in reality, the only real villain of the film was Barkis. The trailer also made the movie look scarier than it actually was.

Poor Communication Kills
 Corpse Bride / int_1c445e86
comment
Poor Communication Kills: A lot of grief might have been avoided by Victor explaining from the beginning that the vows he made to Emily were a mistake. Instead, he tries to lead her along as a way of getting back to the land of the living, only coming clean after she finds him with Victoria and is thus too upset to see his line of thought. Similarly, neither Lord Barkis nor the Everglots admit to being broke, so they both go ahead with the wedding for the money not realising its complete futility.

Mistaken for Cheating
 Corpse Bride / int_2d7ef923
comment
Mistaken for Cheating: Subverted and lampshaded. When Emily comes across Victor reuniting with Victoria, she accuses him of cheating and shows off her ring. Victor then correctly points out that Emily is the "other woman", as she hijacked his planned marriage to Victoria. Victoria can tell by Emily's behavior that Victor certainly isn't cheating her either, and she tries to the best of her ability to help him.

Face Death with Despair
 Corpse Bride / int_33449d14
comment
Face Death with Despair: At the very end, a variation is seen since Barkis had just died. Once Barkis is defeated, and decides to walk away from Victoria and try his luck elsewhere, the Residents of the Land of the Dead want to punish him for what he did to Emily and the sarcastic wedding toast he delivers, but elder Gutkneck says they can't as they're in the land of the living. When Barkis smugly drinks the poison wine meant for Victor, he tries to calmly walk out out the church, but dies soon after, meaning that the rules for the Dead apply to him as well, and Gutneck states "he's all yours." As the Residents of the Land of the Dead slowly approach him, Barkis lets out a panicked scream and desperately tries to escape, but is instead dragged off to a gruesome fate.

Actor Allusion: Emily recites Ophelia's "That's rosemary, for remembrance..." speech from Hamlet while holding a bouquet of flowers after Victor rejects her. Emily is voiced by Helena Bonham Carter, who played Ophelia 15 years earlier in Franco Zeffirelli's 1990 film of the play. It's also not the first time Danny Elfman voices a singing skeleton.

 Corpse Bride / int_396e1c2a

Face Death with Dignity: Done twice by Victor. The first time, after he's told by Mayhew, who recently died from complications of his smoking adiction and being run over by the carriage that carried Mr. and Mrs. Van Dorth, that Emily was married off to Lord Barkis, he overhears Emily talking to Elder Gutkneck, the Maggot, and the Black Widow spider that the only way she could marry Victor is if Victor dies. Victor seeing that he can't be with Victoria, agrees to perform the ritual so that he and Emily can get married, and the wedding procession heads to the Land of the Living for the nuptials. The second time happens at the church, after he's disarmed by Barkis after losing the sword fight, Victor merely flinches as he prepares himself to get stabbed by Barkis. Luckily, Emily stands between them, takes the sword that Barkis embedded in her abdomen and sternly orders him to "Get Out!".

Spirited Young Lady: Emily plays this trope against Victoria's Proper Lady counterpoint. Although, Victoria starts to show signs of this too as the film goes on, such as fashioning a make-shift rope to climb out of her window and find a way to help Victor, and even trying to smash the door open with a poker when her parents lock her in her room. In the climax, when she realizes why Barkiss wanted to marry her, she lets him know exactly what she thinks of him before storming off to find Victor. However, Emily is more explicitly this trope right from the beginning.

Parents Suck at Matchmaking: Victor and Victoria are set up by their respective parents (Victor's want to become aristocrats through his marriage and Victoria's need money), but fall for each other at first sight. Played straight after Victor is abducted by Emily and Victoria's uncaring parents force her to marry Lord Barkis because he lied he was rich. When she learns he is a Gold Digger, she has at least the satisfaction of rubbing her parents' poverty on his face:

Afterlife Welcome
 Corpse Bride / int_5e65514f
comment
Afterlife Welcome: In contrast to the dull colors and creatively oppressing land of the living, the land of the dead is incredibly vibrant and ironically lively, with Victor, and later Mayhew, awakening inside a bar surrounded by the land's friendly inhabitants and just having a good time drinking and partying. It's implied this only happens to people who were, at the very least, pretty okay in life, as the last we see of Lord Barkis after he dies is him being dragged out of the church and to the land of the dead, with a knife-wielding Mrs. Plum menacingly saying, "New arrival" before closing the door behind her.

The dead, far from meaning harm, are overjoyed to share a few words with their living relatives, and are back on Earth only to attend a wedding. Further, they don't shamble, they softshoe.

You can't feel pain anymore, and any illnesses you had to deal with in life are now gone, seemingly. Mayhew, who died of a coughing-related illness, actually seems fairly happy at the turnaround.

The first trailer of the movie led us to believe that Victor got cold feet, left Victoria at the altar, and fled into the woods where he met Emily. In reality, he went into the woods because Gallswells told him not to come back until he had memorized his vows, which he recited in Emily's presence.

False Soulmate: Emily is under the impression that Victor is her One True Love after he seemingly proposes to her at her gravesite...but he never actually intended to marry her and is already in love with Victoria. The fact he's alive while she's dead doesn't help matters. Victor and Emily actually do start to bond and Victor even considers staying with her but in the end, Emily decides they're Better as Friends and gives Victor and Victoria her blessing to get together. Previously, Emily was also under the impression that the handsome stranger she eloped with was her true love, but he was only interested in her inheritance and murdered her when he realised he wouldn't get it (Emily's father didn't approve of the match). Subsequently, she waited in limbo for her true love to come for her, thus leading to the film's plot.

And later, he affirms Elder Gutknecht that so long as the Dead are not allowed to harm the Living, they can't touch him. ...Thankfully, Barkis visits his mortality when he accidentally drinks the Wine of Ages, leaving both arguments null and void.

Impoverished Patrician: Victoria's family. To quote Lord Everglot in "According to Plan," they are "land-rich, bankrupt aristocracy without a penny to their name," spoken as he and his wife look into the family safe, which contains nothing but cobwebs. Their house, meanwhile, is large and grand, but, as Mr. Van Dort gracelessly observes (to their faces), shabby and sparsely furnished. (Most of the good furniture was probably sold off long ago.)

Establishing Character Moment: In the opening, the temperaments of Victor and Lord Barkis are displayed by how they react to a butterfly: Victor draws a sketch of the butterfly he captured, then releases it, completely unharmed, as he watches in awe. This shows that he is a gentle, bookish fellow. Barkis scowls and tries to shoo the butterfly away. If you didn't see it already, he's not a good person.

Parental Bonus: When Victor is in the woods, practicing his vows, he says a line to the effect of "With this hand, I will cup your...", with his hands placed near his chest area. Once he realizes what he's doing, he pulls his hands away in shock. "Oh goodness, no." Finis' grandfather at one point, while holding a wine glass, asks "Where do you keep the spirits?" Since he is a reanimated skeleton, kids will assume he is asking where his spirit is, but older kids and adults will know he's referring to alcoholic spirits - liquers.

Unrequited Tragic Maiden: Emily. Her greatest wish was to find love after having been betrayed and killed on her wedding night by the man she thought really loved her, albeit Victor cannot reciprocate her emotions as he's already betrothed to and in love with Victoria. Eventually, she ascends to the afterlife unwed and leaves the young couple to enjoy a life together rather than forcing Victor to keep a promise that he never meant to make.

Bouquet Toss: Emily does this as she prepares to leave the church in the end. It's first caught by an elderly woman, who tosses it again from being startled by a maggot on her shoulder, whereupon it is caught by Victoria.

Karmic Death: Barkis, after some Evil Gloating at the dead, who are unable to harm the living. On his way out, he casually takes a sip from a cup placed on the altar. Unfortunately for him, the cup contained the poison which Victor was supposed to drink during the marriage ceremony. He is instantly killed. See the Fate Worse than Death section of this article for what happens next. May also qualify as Death by Irony.

Heel Realization: Emily is convinced not to go through with marrying Victor when she sees Victoria watching their wedding in secret, as she realizes Victoria's dreams of being a happy bride are being ripped from her just as Emily's were. Unwilling to put another woman through that sorrow, she stops Victor from fulfilling his vows and gives him and Victoria her blessing.

However, he lets his true colors shine whenever he's behind closed doors, and once his plans go astray, he abandons any sense of misdirection and lets known that he's only after her for her family's money.

Emily is under the impression that Victor is her One True Love after he seemingly proposes to her at her gravesite...but he never actually intended to marry her and is already in love with Victoria. The fact he's alive while she's dead doesn't help matters. Victor and Emily actually do start to bond and Victor even considers staying with her but in the end, Emily decides they're Better as Friends and gives Victor and Victoria her blessing to get together.

In different ways, for both sets of parents, this is the reason they are arranging Victor and Victoria's marriage. The Everglots are after the Van Dorts' money since they have none of their own, while the Van Dorts see the marriage as their ticket to the high society that currently shuns them for earning, rather than inheriting, their wealth. This is treated as normal, standard practice even — then again, it was.

Abusive Parents
 Corpse Bride / int_b11ac9f5
comment
Abusive Parents: The Everglots belittle Victoria, going as far as to say that she looks like "an otter" (probably because she is not ugly like them or their ancestors). Her mother forbids her of touching the piano, saying that music is improper for a young lady - never mind that learning to play the piano was part of a girl's education back in the Victorian Age, and Emily plays it wonderfully, so it seems more like an excuse to keep Victoria from doing something that would give her pleasure. Also, though it is understandable that Lady Everglot wouldn't believe Victoria's story about Victor being kidnapped by a dead woman, she is unfased by Victoria's shaken state and forbids Hildegard from comforting the poor girl, locking Victoria in her room. Although Mrs. Van Dort doesn't go to Lady Everglot's extremes, she is not very fond of Victor, either, telling him to his face that it's an advantage that Victoria doesn't know him.

Rich Suitor, Poor Suitor: Victor and Lord Barkis, respectively, although the Everglots don't find out about Lord Barkis' poverty until after he marries Victoria.

comment
Double Standard: Emily holds Victor to his Accidental Marriage, drags him off to the afterlife, and refuses to let him return to the woman he's already engaged to, yet she's never framed unsympathetically by the movie's tone or its other characters. Yet when Barkis holds Victoria to their marriage vows and refuses to let her be with Victor out of spite, it's perceived as villainous and reprehensible by the onlookers. Downplayed, in that Victor's desire to get back to Victoria is shown as sympathetic by the movie and that Emily, whilst also sympathetic, needs to let him go as he still has a life to live with the one he really loves. By doing so, this is ultimately how she finds peace.

Ink-Suit Actor
 Corpse Bride / int_b8dbbc07
comment
Ink-Suit Actor: Who does Victor look like? Honestly. Ironically, Victoria was based a bit on Helena Bonham Carter (Emily's voice actress) physically, as the character designer wanted to make sure she looked interesting and pretty enough opposite the exotic Emily, so he gave her Bonham Carter's face shape (particularly her chin and forehead.) Burton originally wanted Bonham Carter to voice Victoria anyway, which might make this fact a relic of the straightforward use of the trope. Bonham Carter asked to play Emily instead, as she'd played Victoria-type characters in live action before when she was the character's age. According to the "making of" book, Emily too was redesigned to look a bit more like Helena (specifically, they gave her more of Helena's forehead.)note It's worth mentioning that Victoria does resemble Emily Watson in that they both have big, expressive eyes. Watch Danny Elfman sing "Remains of the Day" live and you'll understand where everything about Bonejangles comes from. The town crier does bear quite a strong facial resemblance to Paul Whitehouse. Not played by him, of course, but the grave-worm crawling about in Emily's eye-socket looks and sounds like Peter Lorre. Appropriate in that a long-deceased actor is referenced in a creature who feasts upon long-deceased people; dovetails neatly with No Celebrities Were Harmed.

Hard Truth Aesop: Emily's character arc carries a rather bittersweet one: sometimes your dreams won't all come true but that doesn't mean you can't still find happiness. Emily dreamed of getting married to her true love, but she wasn't able to achieve this in life...or undeath, for that matter. However, she is still able to find inner peace and happiness when she lets go of this dream, enabling her to move on.

Victor draws a sketch of the butterfly he captured, then releases it, completely unharmed, as he watches in awe. This shows that he is a gentle, bookish fellow.

Shout-Out
 Corpse Bride / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: The piano Victor sits at when meeting Victoria is brand-labeled a "Harryhausen", in homage to stop-motion master Ray Harryhausen. There's even a line from Gone with the Wind used during an old man's skeleton and his still-living wife reuniting when the dead folk head upstairs for their wedding party. Victoria's mother's character design is very reminiscent of Lady Tremaine from Cinderella. She's about as friendly as Tremaine is, too. Victor and Victoria. Aside from the You Shall Not Pass! moment, during the wedding rehearsal for Victor and Victoria, Victor accidentally drops the ring, which rolls on the floor while Pastor Gallswells angrily yells about "DROPPING THE RING!". It's a rather blatant reference.

Reasonable Authority Figure: Subverted with Pastor Galswells. When Victoria sees the situation regarding Victor and Emily, she goes to him, believing he will have the sufficient supernatural knowledge to help. Unfortunately, he instead takes her claims as utter madness, and she's taken home against her will to be imprisoned in her room again. Played straight with the Elder Skeleton, who rules the Land of the Dead with justice and, as the priest overseeing Victor and Emily's wedding, might as well be the Good Shepherd.

Do with Him as You Will: Elder Gutknecht initially holds the dead back from punishing Barkis for his crimes, reminding them of their inability to harm the living. That is until Barkis downs a goblet of wine that, unbeknownst to him, was spiked with poison. Elder Gutknecht's reaction? "He's all yours."

Very Loosely Based on a True Story: This film was based on an old Russian-Jewish folktale, which in turn was inspired by an incident in Tsarist Russia where, it is said, an anti-Semitic gang lay in wait for a Jewish bride on her way to her wedding and murdered her en route. The characters here, however, are decidedly Gentile to give the movie a more universal, fairy-tale type quality.

Accidental Suicide: Barkis is wanted by the dead for tricking Emily into marrying him, stealing her fortune, and then murdering her, however they cannot touch him since the dead are unable to harm the living. After some Evil Gloating, he casually takes a sip from a cup placed on the altar. Unfortunately for him, the cup contained the poison which Victor was supposed to drink during his fatal marriage ceremony to Emily and Barkis is instantly killed, leading him to a Fate Worse than Death at the ghosts' hands.

Gold Digger: Several examples. Lord Barkis Bittern. Hey, a male one! Good for him. In different ways, for both sets of parents, this is the reason they are arranging Victor and Victoria's marriage. The Everglots are after the Van Dorts' money since they have none of their own, while the Van Dorts see the marriage as their ticket to the high society that currently shuns them for earning, rather than inheriting, their wealth. This is treated as normal, standard practice even — then again, it was.

Woken Up at an Ungodly Hour: Victoria goes to the church in the middle of the night, seeking the help of Pastor Galswells on how to deal with Emily. The Pastor is very grumpy about being bothered at such a late hour, but when Victoria mentions Emily being a living corpse, he suddenly turns serious and it looks like he's going to be a Reasonable Authority Figure... only for the scene to Smash Cut to him giving over Victoria back to her parents, telling them that's she's acting crazy.

Nobility Marries Money: Victor's parents have money and are extremely excited to get a chance to be part of the nobility. Victoria's parents are noble and are absolutely disgusted that marrying her off to the Nouveau Riche is the only way to get out of their perpetual poverty — they even acknowledge that the only thing that would be worse would be marrying someone else poor. However, once Victor and Victoria meet, they like each other for other reasons.
