Tim Burton on the 20th anniversary of Corpse Bride

Director and writer Tim Burton helps us celebrate Halloween by looking back on the making of his animated tale of an undead love story, 20 years old this October.

Nervous about his forthcoming nuptials, especially after ruining the wedding rehearsal, bridegroom Victor Van Dort runs into the woods to practice his vows. Unfortunately, he ends up marrying a deceased bride, who insists that he joins her in the land of the dead. What will she do when she discovers that he is betrothed to another? Made in London and featuring animated characters designed by Tim Burton, this stop-motion gem offers the perfect combination of fun and scares.
