Warner Brothers Fine Art - Tim Burton's Corpse Bride - A Terrible Day for A Wedding
|
|
|
In this image 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 directional 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 and Sciences nominated the Corpse Bride for Best Animated Feature for 2005. |
